Can you please put here, important sayings which are of great use in our day to day life. It can be proverb, it can be idiom, it can be phrase. Examples: Proverb: Fortune favours the bold Idiom: Behind one's proposal (secrets things hidden in the proposal) To let the grass grow under one's feet (to over delay and action)

"Each time you are honest and conduct yourself with honesty, a success force will drive you toward greater success. Each time you lie, even with a little white lie, there are strong forces pushing you toward failure." -Joseph Sugarman

Excellent. In fact many newspapers carried syndicated article "sayings" of Ralph Waldo Emerson. It ran in one of our newspapers for 2 to 3 years. This one sent by you is very good. Thanks for the response. What you should have done is to elaborate the above saying to make the response even more interesting.

One of my favorite expressions is "If you can't beat em, join em". Another of my philosophies I try to hand down to younger folks is......"I cried because I had no shoes until I saw a man with no feet." It show the young people that no matter how bad things are.....somebody is worse off.

What a stunning revelation!! It will take few minutes for me to digest this statement. More than the proverb, the explanations are having strong doeses. thnaks for the interesting response Another one here: Too many cooks spoil the broth. For a particular job, if there are too many people with or without knowledge, would spoil the job.
