What Wise Saying(s) Have You Come Up With By Yourself? by Nobody: 9:13pm On Nov 08, 2012
As one grows up in life and gathers experience about the world he/she lives in, they often come up with their own analysis or formula (in form of wise sayings) of how things happen. And 99% of the time such occurences occur, they always follow suit or take heed to that particular wise saying.
So I think its only reasonable to assume that every matured mind here must have come up with one or more such wise sayings, as it cuts across all aspects of our lives.
So lets hear them guys...it can be any type. As long as you came up with it.

So here's mine-'a word is enuf for the foolish because they cannot understand plenty!'

“If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but think you can't
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you've lost,
For out in the world we find
Success being with a fellow's will;
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you're outclassed, you are:
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.”

― Walter D. Wintle



“Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.”
― Henry Ford


"Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry."
