What I find interesting is how some of these little sayings gradually crept into the English language and we still use some of them today, albeit in slightly altered forms. Here are a few examples:
“No gains without pains.”
“Don’t throw stones at your neighbors, if your own windows are glass.”
“There never was a good war or a bad peace.”
“Don’t throw stones at your neighbors, if your own windows are glass.”
“There never was a good war or a bad peace.”
“Lost time is never found again.”
“Haste makes waste.”
“Haste makes waste.”
“A
true friend is the best possession.”
Wise sayings
are wonderful to remember and to then try and live our lives by, however I still
believe that the words of Scripture have lasted much longer than Franklins and
they continue to offer Godly advice for anyone who is willing to listen. Take the following words from Proverbs 2 as an example:
“My child, learn what I teach you and never forget what I tell you
to do.
Listen to what is wise and try
to understand it.
Yes, beg for
knowledge; plead for insight.
Look
for it as hard as you would for silver or some hidden treasure.
If you do, you will know what it means to fear the
Lord and you will succeed in learning about God. It is the Lord who gives
wisdom; from him come knowledge and understanding.” – Proverbs 2:1-6
May God bless you today and remember to use your words wisely.
