100 of the Wisest Sayings:
#100 should be #1
It’s an insult any other way.
The manner the list was written, the order of of the sayings is in no way of what is more important. However I agree with you that prayer is paramount.
#101 There is nothing after this, spend your time happy with friends and family. Don’t waste it praying to something that doesn’t exist.
I agree with Linda S. !!!!
First thought I had also when I saw it at #100 !?
Encouraging words, to lighten the load in these discouraging times, uplifting, gives positive things to think about!! Looking forward to more.
I love these quotes
Don’t pretend. .admit if you don’t know…
Beautiful words to live by.
Really nice sayings but as Linda said that prayer should be on top of the list but if u see list in another manner that every formula is a failure then the prayer is only key to open the locks.
#5 is so annoying. Unless a person is actually on the team or is employed by the team or is employed by the government, “we” didn’t win or lose; “they” won or lost. “We” don’t have a failed tax policy, “the government” has a failed tax policy. How a person sitting in his living room watching a game or is at a stadium say “we” won or “we” lost? Really? You were playing? What position did you play? How much is your yearly salary?
I know.. it’s America, and that’s just what is done here.
102. Never link your mood with people around you
What an amazing list . Must save it.
nice quotes above all
Those of you complaining about #100… Did you think that maybe they saved the best for last?
Let’s add another “lesson” to the list… Whatever number you want to give it – #Don’t be quick to judge
Another fav – # Treat others how you want to be treated.
Someone took the time to put this together and there are a lot of great words of wisdom. You took the time to read it.
My dad said that my grandmother used to say, “it could always be worse.” yes, sometimes we have bad days or things may not go right, but be happy for the days we have or have had with those we love.
And many more lessons can be included in this already plentiful list depending on lessons we’ve each learned.
#rant over – don’t worry, be happy 🙂
Thank you Heather, I love your attitude and positivity:)
Well said!
amazing! thanks for sharing!
visit me please 😀 thanks!
100 great things to constantly say to and remind my children as they become men and women.
Never end relationship by text message…. nice one…
Not only like this post… love it!
Well don’t smile on strangers until you have a thing for them particularly.
All I want to do is to sit and read each of the point carefully and ponder over each one of them. Good advice compiled in an awesome way. I can spend so much of time reading, learning and improving myself just with this single post.
It was amazing. Thanks 🙂
I’m thinking my parents mentioned MOST or ALL of these to me when I was growing up and I still live by them today. It makes it a whole lot easier to adjust to life’s changes…and learn how to get along in a world where nobody really wants to get along…
Dear Kelly, You are so blessed that your parents mentioned all those wonderful sayings to you. How wonderful. <3
If someone is moving into a room in your home make sure it is completely empty so they can have a sense of ‘home’
By doing #100 everything else will fall into place nicely!
What a great list! May I add a couple more?
–Never belittle yourself. Especially never belittle yourself to critical people.
–So you don’t feel like going? Go anyway. You’ll probably have a better time than everybody else.
–Always carry yourself with dignity. You are, after all, somebody’s son or daughter, and you are precious to them.
–Bring your best, give your best, smile the longest.
–Kind words cost nothing but a little thought. Yet they can brighten somebody’s day, and maybe even many of their days.
Great quotes of the year
The one ringing in my ears since childhood: If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
great stuff Lue remember to hug someone today..it goes a long way
Forgive me for being so incredibly dense, but #22? I don’t get it.
It means, don’t settle. Be patient, wait for the best. Just when you having your meal, don’t fill up on bread because you’re so hungry. Then your meal comes and you can’t really enjoy the best of it, because you filled yourself up with bread.
wow beautiful real words collection.
I am sure anyone truly following these 100 sayings will be a great and successful person in this world and after world, my favorite saying among these are number 90, 94 and 100th.
I like #98, 90 and 25. Passion is so necessary in life. Otherwise, it’s accepting medicroity and giving up on your dreams.
amazing collection. nice efforts.. more to be added
#100 is best at #100. Reason: If you fail at these 99 pieces of good advice, prayers may be your last hope!
