Concerning gossip...

[Meadowmufn]

"Whoever gossips to you, will gossip about you."

Just a little old Spanish proverb that a lot of y'all should keep in mind.

Good Advice...though my favorite proverb is African: Be careful when a naked man offers you a shirt....

[RogerDuke]

Thanks Daisy.

That's never happened to me before but if it ever does I'll know to use caution.

There's an ancient Polish proverb that says...

"Though the hippopotamus has no sting on its tail, the wise man would still rather be sat on by a bee."

Well since this is fast becoming the philosophy thread let me add one that I heard last week. It's not related to the subject but it's so funny I just wanted to share it. It's from Yogi Berra.

"Nobody goes to that restaurant anymore. It's too crowded."

"If the world was perfect, it wouldn't be."

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

"The future ain't what it used to be."

Thought I'd add some Oscar Wilde into the mix:

"There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

"True friends stab you in the front."

"Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same."

"Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much."

"America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between."

"A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing."

"He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends."

"I am not young enough to know everything."

"I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train."

"It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious."

"Life is too important to be taken seriously."

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."

"The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself."

"Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong."

"Work is the curse of the drinking classes."
