Quotable sayings....................
« on: May 28, 2009, 02:37:00 PM »
In this world today it is sometimes good to reflect on sayings that are uplifting, truthful, and downright fun. If you have some let's hear them. Here is one I read recently that I like. It pertains to archery in that it talks about "life" in your years....archery has, is and will continue to put "life" in my years!

"It is not the years in your life, but the life in your years that count!"  :thumbsup:

"happy as a field lark in a cow dab"

"happy as a ground hog in soft dirt"
Do or do not ... there is no "try"

My Dad used to have a saying about something that looked new or looked good:

"Well that shines like a diamond in a goats A$#"

Another was when he would get excited about something:

"Well Kattie bar the door!"

I don't really know were that saying came from or what it really ment but but I sure knew what he meant when he said it  ;)

When I was coming up and had a disagreement with someone my dad would say
" Don't go gettin in a pis__n contest with a skunk, that's one you ain't gonna win"

I try to live by that to this day.

GOOD ONES GUYS! Some are so true, some are funny, and some are "head scratchers".  Love it! Keep 'em coming.

I have a friend who's dad used to come up with some good ones.  His last name was Overall. They were called "Overallisms".  Here's one.......

It's not the size of your sail that's important. It's the size of your rudder.
