ON SECOND THOUGHT
Life is a delicate balance. That’s why when some say out of sight, out of mind, you may have to balance it with what others say. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
While it’s true that birds of the same feather flock together, opposites likewise attract. It maybe true that the pen is mightier than the sword, but don’t actions speak louder than words? Don’t cross the bridge till you come to it is a good advice. Many times though forewarned is forearmed.
Consider how we look and what we wear. Some people claim that height is might and that black is beautiful. Well, there are those who think that small can be terrible and that white is gorgeous. It has been said that clothes make the man. But we’ve been warned never to judge a book by it’s cover, or a gift by it’s wrapper.
As a kid, I thought that only the things that are bigger are better. Growing up, I learned that some of the best things come in small packages.
You can’t teach an old dog an old trick. True in a sense and yet one is never too old to learn.
You hear people say that a good beginning makes a good ending. But some stubborn souls claim that it’s not over till it’s over.
There’s truth in saying, many hands makes light work. It is also true that often times too many cooks spoil the broth. Surely two heads are better than one, but if you want something done right, do it yourself.
All work and no play makes John dull boy, we’re told. Yet dogged persistence can count a lot because practice makes perfect.
Some people would rather be safe than sorry. But where nothing is ventured, nothing is gained.
If at first you don’t succeed, try again. Don’t beat a dead horse is a good advice. On the same vein, positive thinkers tell us that never quit and quitter never win. Realistic thinkers can look you in the eye and say quit trying or try quitting.
