Sincerely, Scotty – Wise Sayings

We have all heard certain sayings that we think are catchy or one we should take to heart. Over the past year or two, I’ve been accumulating sayings or more precisely truisms we should take to heart. I suspect most, if not all, are thoughts we should consider in our everyday life….

1. “The best way to get even is to forget”… I prefer the more common version of forgive and forget.

2. “Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death.” In simple terms, read the Bible and go to church.

3. “God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts”…All I can say is AMEN

4. “Some folks wear their halos much too tight”…

5. Some marriages are made in heaven, but they ALL have to be maintained on earth…

6. Unless you can create the WHOLE universe in 5 days, then perhaps giving “advice” to God isn’t such a good idea.

7. Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, and faith looks up…

8. Standing in the middle of the road is dangerous. You will get knocked down by the traffic from both ways.

9. Words are windows to the heart.

10. A skeptic is a person who when he sees the handwriting on the wall, claims it’s a forgery.

11. It isn’t difficult to make a mountain out of a molehill, just add a little dirt.

12. A successful marriage isn’t finding the right person-it’s being the right person.

14. Too many people offer God prayers with claw marks all over them.

15. The tongue must be heavy indeed, because so few people can’t hold it.

16. To forgive is to set the prisoner free, and then discover the prisoner was you.

17. You have to wonder about humans, they think God is dead and Elvis is alive.

18. It’s all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again. Just be sure to flush when you are done.

19. You’ll notice that a turtle only makes progress when it sticks out its neck…

20. If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, you can bet the water bill is higher.

21. And last but not least — God gave the angels Wings, and He gave humans CHOCOLATE!!!!!

22. Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it.

23. Just remember, there’s a right way and a wrong way to do everything and the wrong way is to keep trying to make everybody else do it the right way.

24. It’s better to fight for something than against something

25. Giving up doesn’t always mean you are weak. Sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go.

26. There is great power in letting go, and there is great freedom in moving on.

27. The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.

28ometimes the best way to hold onto something is to let it go.
