So many interesting sayings from so many different folks over the years.
Ran across one the other day that I thought was pretty funny due to the material that was being covered. Very fitting though.
"BE THE HUMMINGBIRD"
Anyone else have some favorite quotes?

You can't make chicken salad out of chicken $hit.
If you really wanted it, you wouldn't have left it laying around.

My Dad referring to me as a young man, "that's my boy, strong as an ox and every bit as smart."
An old cowboy commenting on the courage of a particular gentleman, "that fellar's got more guts than you can hang on a fence."
One of my own I've used on a couple of difficult employees, "if you have a problem with everybody, everybody's probably not the problem."

Dad: "Use your head for something besides a hat rack!"  When Dad would tell us to go get something, and we often could not find what he wanted, only to have him walk into the room and immediately find it: "If it was a snake it would have bit you!"  |

My dad was an old sailor full of colorful sayings. He served in the Merchant Marine during WWII and while at sea on an old wooden freighter in the South Pacific, he watched in horror as a torpedo headed right for amidships of the old tub and watched it go right under the keel and on into the distance on the other side. Said right there, "Glad I was born lucky instead of good looking!".

"You've got more ability than stability."
From sheriff Jim Wilson:
"If stupid was dirt, you'd cover about a half acre."

I had to laugh about that one. Many years ago,, (about 25-30) two local girls,, older teens,,, homely,,, but "active" decided to have a summertime contest between themselves. It was to see how many guys they could "bed." I heard that exact same phrase to describe them. And NO,,, I DID NOT participate in their contest.
