First one was my old man's favorite!

 

His father/my grandfather's favorite:

 

"If the hound didn't stop to take a *****,  it would have got the fox."

 

Pretty simple, but kinda deep too! 😆 

 

Also... My father (died in 2019) probably couldn't find the escape key on a keyboard but since day one knew:

 

"Facebook is nothing more than front porch gossip."

 

😆... He was blind the last 20 years of his life, lived on NPR.  😲😯😉

CONCUR:  Some people emit negative fumes, while others vibrate POSITIVE ENERGY. Stay close to the Positive ones; otherwise you will be smoked to death.

I have a bunch of friends in AA. These guys ften have these great one liners that stick with me. AA would seem like the kind of place where the old timers have heard every excuse, and a ton of b.s. Here are 2:

 

1) "Being bitter at someone and dwelling on it is like me drinking poison and waiting for you to die."

This makes total sense imo. The person that you are so angry at either doesn't care or is glad that you are tearing yourself apart.

 

2) "No matter where you go, there YOU are." 

Another great line. Many folks think that all they have to do is move and they will completely change. Sometimes I consider moving to NC. I might do it some day too but if I do, I will not think that I will instantly transform into a different person with completely different thoughts and habits.

 

OK, here is one more from an old police chief who was getting ready to retire. On the previous night, he had to go out to Long Island and suspend a NYC cop who was involved in a dispute with his wife. This man was a GREAT guy and hated to do this but it was his job. The next day he came to a precinct and delivered a speech to the 4x12 shift.

He said that when you get off at 12AM, go home! He said that if you go out to bars and screw around it is only a short matter of time before your wife finds out and you will lose your house, kids, and pension. He said to go to a 7-11, buy a six pack, take it home, drink it, and watch reruns of Star Trek. Then he said, "your wife will probably still hate you, but at least she will know where you are."

 

I hope that big bosses like him still exist.

Stop working for money, let money work for you.

 

Man, I've thought about that. Seen several TikToks where people will buy laundry mats, car washes, storage units, etc, and once they get the business in a good spot, it's just collecting $$$, with little work needed.
