Italians do it every night over dinner. They also talk about how great their next meal is going to be.
And I suggest, "If Italians could not use their hands when they talk, they would be unable to speak.

Author unknown:
"Thought in the mind hath made us
what we are.
By thought was wrought and built
If a man's mind
hath evil thought, pain comes to him
as comes,
the wheel of an ox behind.
If one endure in
purity of thought.
joy follows him
as his own shadow,
sure."

From myhero, Ralph Waldo Emerson:
"Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances;
it was somebody's name, or he happened to be there at the time,
or,it was so then, and another day it would have been otherwise.
Strong men believe in Cause and Effect."

I liked Readers Digest and especially the tue stories,had a subscription to it for 3 decades but moved and didn't renew it.
Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.

This is one of my favorites. A priest that taught my husband when he was in High School told all the boys this,and I think it's perfect.

My favorite beautiful quote about life (frasi sulla vita brevi) is:
In life you have to choose between earning money and spending it: you don't have time to do both.
(Édouard Bourdet)

Howabout:
"Don't be too sweet or they'll eat you!"
"Don't be too sweet or they'll eat you!"
In the south there's a saying "now you keep sweet, ya' hear".
