We all have heard some sayings or quotes, about any subject under the sun, that make you either laugh or stop and think.......

Here's one that makes me laugh:
"Some people brighten up a room when they enter. Some people brighten up a room when they leave."

Yeah, I have known me a few.......

My grandfather had the sayings...He's been gone 33 years but I still think of him and his folksy expressions and quips -

"Better to live in shame than die in pain"
"Shake it more than twice and you're playing with it"
"A boys a boy, two boys is half a boy, three boys is not boy at all"

Here's one that I cannot argue the logic of........true in life, career, relationships:

"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got."

That goes in line with: "If it's going to be it's up to me."

Both refer to taking responsibility for yourself and quit blaming those around you for your place in this world........

"better out with shame than in with pain"

NORMAL
Q: "How [are] you doing?"
A: "Fine, thanks."

UNCLE
Q: "How [are] you doing?"
A: "Fine as frog hair."

"Better out than in"

"It's better to be p*** off than p*** on."

Perhaps more than anyone person I can think of...baseball Hall of Famer Yogi Berra is known for great off-the-cuff expressions. Here's some of them......

"This is like deja vu all over again."

"You can observe a lot just by watching."

"He must have made that before he died." -- Referring to a Steve McQueen movie.

"I want to thank you for making this day necessary." -- On Yogi Berra Appreciation Day in St. Louis in 1947.

"Think! How the hell are you gonna think and hit at the same time?"

"You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there."

"I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early."

"If you can't imitate him, don't copy him."

"You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six."

"Baseball is 90% mental -- the other half is physical."

"It was impossible to get a conversation going; everybody was talking too much."

"Slump? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hitting."

"A nickel isn't worth a dime today."

"Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded."

"It gets late early out there." -- Referring to the bad sun conditions in left field at the stadium.

"Do you mean now?" -- When asked for the time.

"I take a two hour nap, from one o'clock to four."

"If you come to a fork in the road, take it."

"You give 100 percent in the first half of the game, and if that isn't enough in the second half you give what's left."

"90% of the putts that are short don't go in."

"I made a wrong mistake."

"Thanks, you don't look so hot yourself." -- After being told he looked cool.

"I always thought that record would stand until it was broken."

"Yeah, but we're making great time!" -- In reply to "Hey Yogi, I think we're lost."

"If the fans don't come out to the ball park, you can't stop them."

"Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel."

"It's never happened in the World Series competition, and it still hasn't."

"How long have you known me, Jack? And you still don't know how to spell my name." -- Upon receiving a check from Jack Buck made out to "bearer."

"I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat, and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?"

"It ain't the heat; it's the humility."

"The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase."

"You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours."

"I didn't really say everything I said."

My mom always said "Dont' bite off your nose to spite your face" and I could never figure that one out!

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day.
Teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat and drink
beer all day.

I always like to say "we'll burn that bridge when we come to it". I said that even before I knew Buffett had a song by the same title.

When parting ways and someone says
"you have a good one"

I always say
"Hey, thanks for noticing"

I sometimes reply "I do have a good one, now I'm looking for a longer one".
