Some old sayings
.Its better to walk alone, than with a. Crowd going in the wrong direction.
You can’t hang out with negative people and expect to live a positive life.
Dear Algebra, please stop asking us to find your X she’s never coming back and don’t ask Y.
When asked how they managed to stay together for 65 years, the woman replied, “ we were born in a time where if something was broke you fixed it, not throw it away”.
Never lose hope. You never know what tomorrow may bring.
If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, what then is an empty desk a sign of ?
One of the hardest decisions you will ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder.
If you are depressed you are living in the past, if you are anxious you are living in the future, if you are at peace you are living in the present.
The mind replays what the heart can’t delete.
You know why it’s hard to be happy ? It’s because we refuse to let go of the things that make us sad.
A pretty face is nothing if you have an ugly heart.
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience . We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Some people are old at 18 and some young at 90. Time is a concept that humans created.
When nothing is right, go left.
Be thankful for the. Bad things in life for they opened your eyes to the good things you weren’t paying attention to before !

Re: Some old sayings
John, all of those depend on one thing, the ability of the person to be bale to tell good from bad, happy from sad.
But most of all to have a positive attitude to life.


Happy daze John in Oz.

The meaning of the word "Doolally"
Your going Doolally - derived from the Deolali British Army Transit Camp India
If you were "Losing your mind" you were sent back to Britain - Via Deolali
Your Going Doolally.
