You know my old Grandad used to say don't do anything for anyone, because one day they'll throw it all back in your face. Today I've just realised that's possibly the only words of truth anyone has ever said to me. They may well be the best words anyone could've come up with!

My grandad used to quote the bible. "Do onto others before they do unto you" 

[feeutfo]

My Grandad said, never do a good job of anything you don't want do again. I really should have listened.

Best advice I heard from mine was 'Never judge anyone until you have lived their life'. True today as it was then.........
Pity that today we tend to judge without proof or simply because we believe ourselves to be better than him/her/them!
Sad world it has become.........(said by the green Yoda thingy in Star Wars)

But do it first was what I heard.........

Speaking of.. fancy changing my wishbone bushes? 

Anyway surely (and unrelated to the above, honest) the best words anyone has ever said are "I love you"?

No? I'm a big old sap? Oh..

It is better to be a coward for a minute than dead for the rest of your life.

Give everyone the chance to p1ss up your back once,but never twice.

It is better to be a coward for a minute than dead for the rest of your life.

Indeed.
A live coward is better than a dead hero is another version of the same.

When I first started work a hulking great labourer had a few words of wisdom for me. Firstly "it don't matter how big they are, they all go down with putlug round there ear" (putlug, putlog was a short scaffold bar approx 1200mm long)
Second was "believe nothing of what you are told and only half of what you see" This has served me for many years, especially with people.

This chap had many sayings, he was dumb as an ox and and as big as 10 oxen, Yet made plenty of money.  Not the type to argue with, but in reality a really nice bloke I shared many a pint with. Still see him occasionally.

Some people you can never please, so (in those cases) you may as well please yourself. (F*** em)

My Grandad was a Pilot during the war, I remember Him saying, 'The definition of a good Pilot is one that has the same number of Take Off's as He has Landings'

Not giving any detail but after my last 2 year relationship I wished this had been said before I got involved
