Proverbs

I received a story by email recently (you know the ones) that I actually opened and read. (This is not typical for me. I tend to see that it's one of those "inspirational" forwards and delete without ever opening.) I got a few chuckles out of the "proverbs" for life. Maybe you will too. :)

* Just accept that some days you're the pigeon;
and some days you're the statue.

* Always keep your words soft and sweet -
just in case you have to eat them.

* Always wear stuff that will make you look good
if you die in the middle of it.

*Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be
"recalled" by their maker.

* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again,
It was probably worth it.

* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to be kind to others.

* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time,
because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

* Nobody cares if you can't dance well.
Just get up and dance.

* Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird,
sleep late.

* The second mouse gets the cheese.

* When everything's coming your way,
you're in the wrong lane.

* Birthdays are good for you.
The more you have, the longer you live.

* You may be only one person in the world,
But you may also be the world to one person.

* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

* We could learn a lot from crayons... Some are sharp; some are pretty; and
some are dull. Some have weird names; and all are different colours;
but they all have to live in the same box.

* A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
