Pearls of Wisdom: GOOD ADVICE AND GREAT QUOTES
Posted: 7/20/2007 10:22:26 PM
We all have been give advice, some good and some not so good, over the years. Which sage words of wisdom have had the most impact on your life or proven to be the most relavant? OR, which famous quote has been a standard in your experience and one that sticks in your memory bank?

Here is a venue to wax eloquent and to perhaps sound wiser than we really are.

The most sage words of wisdom I've heard lately were uttered by someone I'm very close to, who told me (right after he thunked me on the forehead) "Do not cast your pearls before swine!"

Still working on putting that VERY wise advice into effect ....

"Do not cast your pearls before swine!"

Easiest way to do that is to stay out of the pigpen. Or, at least do not wear your pearls when you go near one.

God created man and finding him not sufficiently alone, gave him a companion to make him feel his solitude more keenly .............

Actually, Dave, you do have a partial truth there. But it wasn't God's fault. The solitude (the big gap) between the man and the woman happened after the serpent entered the garden and has been going on ever since. That is NOT the way God wanted it to be.

Good ones, Paul.

A quote I cut out years ago and do now know who said it is:
"Progress involves risk. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first."

Cowboy Wisdom:

If you get to thinkin yer a person of some influence, try orderin somebody else's dog around.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

Good judgement comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgement.

Don't squat with your spurs on.

My mom made me a poster of this quote, but I don't know who wrote it.

"What's important NOW?" My mother cut this headline out of a newspaper or magazine and taped it on the inside of the pantry door - along with other bits of wisdom. She raised seven children and was married to a man who could be childlike at times. I think she used this phrase as a mantra in a very busy household. I use it that way too whenever I start to feel overwhelmed by the busyness in my life.

I can dig it Boomer but it was actually the womans fault cuz she was gullible and fell victim to the smooth and charming style of the serpent and we poor innocent men have been paying hell for it ever since......... aka issues issues issues

Ok, Dave. And what is Adam's excuse for listening to the woman? Especially since no man has listened since.

^ That is a version I haven't heard before, but it is interesting theology.

I guess we should file that under the "Good Advice" column.
