Pearls of Wisdom

[Ashy]

Let's have a light hearted thread of pearls of wisdom.

I'll start:

The unexpected doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's when you least expect it.

[Scrumpy]

Never smile or accept a leaflet from a Jehovah Witness who knocks at your front door.


Never exchange addresses with the couple you meet on holiday.

[klondike]

I'll add...

Never ever buy a Watch Tower hoping they will go away.

If you feel a bit down turn yourself into an overachiever. Just ask your GP for a daily calorie target. I guarantee you'll have no trouble exceeding it.

[Mups]

Something a little more serious   (forgive me),  but I thought these words were lovely, and wise also.


"Happiness is not about getting what you want all the time. 
It's about loving what you have already,  and being grateful for it."

This one made me laugh . .

"A mosquito just landed on my husbands face . . .

 . . .  easiest decision of my life. 

[Scrumpy]

Never stand behind a pensioner in a supermarket queue that has a money purse in her hand.

[Ashy]

If you think you're a wreck, you should see your doctor.

[Michael Rolls]

never hit a man with glasses - use a baseball bat

[Alex]

A good friend will always stab you in the front

[GrannyMac]

A friend in need is a pain in the a**e. 🫢

[Ashy]

Never sniff a nettle.

[Mups]

The tragedy is,  we get old too soon - and wise too late.


(Benjamin Franklin)

[klondike]

Common sense is like deodorant. Those who need it most fail to use it.

If at first you don't succeed then sky diving is not for you

A clear conscience is often a sign of a poor memory.

[Scrumpy]

Never tell your husband anything that is secret.

Never tell your hairdresser NOT to cut your fringe or too much off the length.

[Vlad]

 "Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry."

[dextrous63]

Never say to a group of religious zealots "let ye who are without sin cast the first stone" since they all think they are and you'll be getting a load of bruises.
