• Life means missing expected things & facing the unexpected. When you are right, no one remembers.  When you are wrong, no one forgets.

• If yesterday didn't end up the way you had planned, just remember you have today to start a new one.  The best is yet to come.

• Life gives answers in 3 ways...

1. It says yes & gives what you want.
2. It says no & gives you something better.
3. It says wait & gives you the best at the right time.

All good things come to those who wait.   BUT Time and tide wait for no man.
The pen is mightier than the sword.         BUT Actions speak louder than words.
Wise men think alike.                            BUT Fools seldom differ.
The best things in life are free .              BUT There's no such thing as a free lunch
Slow and steady wins the race .               BUT Time waits for no man.
Look before you leap.                            BUT Strike while the iron is hot .
Do it well, or not at all.                           BUT Half a loaf is better than none.
Birds of a feather flock together.              BUT Opposites attract.
Don't cross your bridges before you come to them.  BUT Forewarned is forearmed.
Doubt is the beginning of wisdom.            BUT Faith will move mountains.
Great starts make great finishes.              BUT It ain't over 'till it's over.
Practice makes perfect.                            BUT All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Silence is golden.                                    BUT The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
You're never too old to learn.                   BUT You can't teach an old dog new tricks
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.  BUT One man's meat is another man's poison.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.      BUT Out of sight, out of mind.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.               BUT Many hands make light work.
Hold fast to the words of your ancestors.   BUT Wise men make proverbs and fools repeat them.

A little off beat but ones to follow .....But  I always follow them in my life

1) "Its better to be a fool for 5 mins by asking a question, rather than not asking and remaining a fool for ever" - Unkown

2)"if you do not know anything keep silent and let people think you are not a fool, rather than opening your mouth and removing all doubts" - Unknown 

A 'HABIT' is very difficult to remove

if you remove 'H', 'ABIT' still remains

if you remove 'A', 'BIT' still remains

if you remove 'B', 'IT' still remains

( this is just a quote I got and it is not with standing to any individual wanting to stop any " BAD" habit )

''LIFE" is like having a cup of coffee.You sit by the window,lift the cup,take a careless sip and find no sugar.Too lazy to go for it,you somehow manage with that sugarless cup.On finishing you discover undissolved sugar crystals settled at the bottom.Thats  how life is...............

We do not make any effort to value what is around or within us.

So look around,may be the sweetness you are looking for is more closer than you think.

Happy living
