Maxims that Have influenced Your Life

[dlks151]

From the mouth of my grandmother : always buy the best shoes and bed you can afford, because if you’re not in one you’re in the other.

It’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission ..

My old granny’s favourite saying : “One up the bum, no harm done. One up the fanny, your mum is a granny.”

Don't let heroes get your kicks for you, it's up to you and no-one else

Try and take control of it
'Cause what you see is what you get

Hmmm, I'm currently sitting in front of the PC barefooted. I am therefore not in my best shoes, nor am I in bed.

I'm just asking, not criticising or arguing:- do people really believe this to be true because I just don't get it.

In the words of Glaswegian philosopher, Gerry Cinnamon

“You know it could be a canter
If you were just a wee bit less of a wker
More than half of the time”

Wise words for many on ph, perhaps?

[GloverMart]

Don't try to be the person others want you to be; Be the person you are!

Two is one, and one is none.

Wherever I go, there I am.

[Strangely Brown]

Never judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes.
After that it doesn't matter because he's a mile away and you've got his shoes.

"What's for you won't go by you"

After a lifetime of bidding and offering and often not getting, remembering that one's often been of great consolation to me.

On the whole, maxims are a load of old bunkum.
