Maxims to live your life by

[Profpointy]

Don't put off something until tomorrow if you can avoid doing it at all.

Churchill said "A problem put off is a problem half-solved". In the context of the desperate days of the battle of the Atlantic and Battle of Britain that was likely true

Mine's a Double.

And do what you do, do well.

Does that include doing badly?

My father and I had an interesting relationship, in the English sense of the word

He would just ask me " did you do your best?"
How do you answer that?
70 years later I still don't know.

I used to work with a Welsh guy named Dave. For him "now" meant "some time in the future, probably." I don't know if that was a Dave-ism or a Welsh thing.

"I'll do it now" meant "I'll put it on my list of things to do, and if you're lucky and I don't forget, it will get done within the next week or so"

Very much a Welsh thing.

Alost everybody I know in Wales uses it to mean "soon".

As the Bard said, "You've got be yourself. You can't be no one else. I'm feeling supersonic. Give me gin and tonic. You can have it all, but how much do you want it." Wise words.

Not everyone will like you. You should not worry about it.

Not everyone will like you. You should not worry about it.

I'm only bothered about what decent people think about me.

Very much a Welsh thing.

Alost everybody I know in Wales uses it to mean "soon".

"now in a minute" is the south Wales version. My mum would reply "Not 'now in a minute' NOW!" when I was putting off doing my homework pr bedtime or whatever

 

[Drago]

By the power of Greyskull!

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a taxi to the airport.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Don’t try and rob a bank, when your getaway car has a flat tyre.

 

[Yellow Fang]

I don't go out to stop in.
That was one of my granddad's sayings, meaning he did not want to visit his in-laws.

Children should be seen and not heard.
I did not understand that fully when I was a child.

 

[Electric_Andy]

Don't worry. Deal with what comes your way, and forget the rest

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Forgive and forget.
