What is your favorite saying?

[SueAB]

You already know I like to say "DEGU - Never Give Up!", but I just read another that I liked a bunch - "We would not have rainbows without the rain." My Mom, who is 93 years old, tells us, "If that is the worst thing that ever happens to you, you'll be in good shape."

[jimeka]

SueAB love it, 🌈

[jackiesj]

SueAB :It is what it is?

[SueAB in reply to jackiesj]

Oh, jackiesj, That brought back memories of one of my favorite friends. He would say that several times during a conversation! The saying was even used at his memorial service!

[agapepilgrim]

@SueAB my favorite poem (of course, I forgot it all with my shrinking MS brain, is "In acceptance, lieth peace." Helps me relax and give the wheel to God!

[Joc-42 in reply to agapepilgrim]

agapepilgrim, that is one of my favorites also.

[Juleigh21]

I always tell my kids- "play the hand you're dealt"🙂

Love it, your Mom has much wisdom! My mantra for most of my life has been "Mind over Matter!"

[CraigS in reply to CalfeeChick]

If you don’t mind, it don’t matter!

[Bygonelines]

One of my favorite sayings is "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light" That was from Albes Dumbledor

[Linda3579]

Every cloud has a silver lining.

[Gods_Girl]

Phil 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." I can't tell you how many days that scripture has gotten me out of bed and on my feet. I say the words out loud WHENEVER I need the strength, mentally OR physically. He's an AWESOME GOD. ❤Great question/post! 😊

[Doubled51 in reply to Gods_Girl]

Gods_Girl . Amen. I tell myself that regularly.

I like “expect the best, prepare for the worst”

And Gandolf from Lord of the Rings: “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us“

[greaterexp]

My dad always said, “Don’t borrow trouble,” though he was an Olympic worrier.

[punterstein]

My mother always would say this if I ever complained. "I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet"

[Hidden]

Throughout my short 61 years, I have often heard, "If you want to learn how to plumb, talk to a plumber". The thought is applicable to almost any subject or activity in our lives.

[Doubled51]

I was always told that “if you make your bed hard you have to lay in it”. And that’s so true.

Donnie

[SueAB in reply to Doubled51]

Oh, Donnie! I haven't heard that in so long! My husband and I were quite young when he asked my Dad if we could get married. My Mom was crying and said "If your make your bed, you will have to lay in it!" And guess what? We have been married 52 years!

[Doubled51 in reply to SueAB]

SueAB . I’m pretty sure my wife mother told us that and it was 47 years ago.

[melack01]

My favorite saying is Blessed are those who ask for nothing for they shall not be disappointed.

My grandfather, bless his soul, liked this one. It's better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it.

That one caused me to buy life insurance.

[Fancy1959]

SueAB,it's Fancy1959. You probably posted this right before I got active again after my shoulder surgery. Long story short is that I missed it somehow. I just found it and I have to share with everyone my favorite saying of all time. I saw it on a bumper sticker of a vehicle in front of me and I laughed until I cried. 😂

It read, " Of all the things I ever lost, I miss my mind the most!" LOL!

I am not sure if it's an age factor, an MS factor, or perhaps a combination of the two, but it sure hit home for me!🤣💕👍👏😁

[MsGelfling1]

Blessed are those who expect nothing for they shall not be disappointed.

Better late then never

[CraigS]

I like Yoda’s take on life,

“Do or do not, there is no try.”

[falalalala]

It's more of a quote. Just thinking about it puts a smile on my face.

"The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right."-Mark Twain
