Words of Wisdom

 


Where there's a will, I want to be in it.

 

The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list.

 

Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

 

If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

 

We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

 

War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

 

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

 

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.

 

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

 

In filling out an application, where it says, 'In case of emergency, Notify:' I put 'DOCTOR'.

 

Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

 

You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

 

I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.

 

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

 

You're never too old to learn something stupid.

    1. In my time I have interviewed many people for jobs. They look smart and tidy in their suits, but when they start talking ... ... ...

      God bless, Tom.

  2. Oh gosh, I can't decide which is my favorite! Probably, "We only learn how to act in public." (Gonna share that!) I'm eternallly confused about plagarism. Didn't Mr. Wilde say, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?"

    PS - Thank you for joining me in prayers for our friend Jack, who's AWOL with a back injury.

    1. I shall pray for Jack right now.

      I don't like plagiarism. I long for the day when there's no more plagiarism in the world. You may say I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will have no plagiarism any more.

      God bless you, Mevely.

  3. "If I agreed with you, we both would be wrong." That seems to be the mantra of the world today. Is it as crazy across the pond as it is here in the States?
    Blessings!

    1. Yes, it is as crazy over here. The world is becoming very intolerant.

      God bless, Lulu.

  4. These are great, Victor! I love the "going to church" one - I think it originated with an American preacher named Billy Sunday (yes, that was his real name!). Jim, one of the characters in my Glade series, uses this phrase to explain the difference between acting like a Christian and being a Christian to his step-daughter, Anna.
    Blessings!

    1. I remember reading it somewhere. Sadly, many people are Christians in name only, just like a badge that they wear. Their actions are far from Christian.

      God bless, Martha.

  5. Dearest Victor,
    Some good ones!
    There are those that seem to become extinct like: Theodore Roosevelt's quote: Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage.
    Hugs,

    1. You're right, Mariette. So many good quotable sayings that are no longer used, or fashionable.

      God bless you.
