Succinct sayings , quotes, words of wisdom add yours

I really like words! I especially like it when very few words are used but they express alot. So i thought i would start a thread that we can add wise words to, what do you think. I was originally going to start a thread with the saying ( I believe half of what i see and quarter of what i hear, whats your percentage?) i did a search on ats and found no such thread, so i did a search on the internet and found out that the saying is actually( DONT BELIEVE HALF OF WHAT YOU SEE AND NONE OF WHAT YOU HEAR ) a quote by Benjamin Franklin.Anyway moving on, i can think of another of the top of my head ,GO YOU GOOD THING, lol, another HEAR NO EVIL ,SEE NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL, another IF YOU CAN SAY NO GOOD, SAY NOTHING. I'm sorry about the caps just wanted the sayings to stand out. I am interested in the ones that deal with the five normal senses , like, LET HIM WHO HAS EARS LISTEN and LET HIM WHO HAS EYES SEE these are more examples of that. Anyway thats it for now hope you girls and guys can add some that you know for all of us to share

I'm pretty sure u can find a lot of those if not similar in the bible if I'm not mistaken??

Probably, dont know about GO YOU GOOD THING though lol . Just seeing if anyone can come up with some positive words sayings ect

Maybe i should go back to my orginal idea of saying, i believe half of what i see and quarter of what i hear . What are your percentages?

You are only as strong as your weakest link.

The best way to determine the content of a man's character is by asking his children

How about "waste not, want not". Or "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"

Just "adding my two cents"

good one thanks people

oh and of course my signature has all my other favorite quotes and sayings.

There's an old saying:
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

But nowadays with so many Muslim doctors I find that bacon is far more effective.
