My daddy always said..."It's nice to be nice!"
It's worked for me

By the way, I'm moving this thread to the Off-Topic area of the board...

"When all was said and done, more had been said than done."

Maybe not a wise saying, but worth keeping in mind the next time you agree to serve on a committee. We had it engraved on a plaque to commemorate the results of a special project.

"There's no job that takes longest as the one you never start." - J.R.R. Tolkien
"A penny saved is a penny earned" - Ben Franklin
"Study and you shall not be when grown (this is for kids by the way), niether the vulgar toy of passion, nor the servile slave of tyrants." - My mom (sounds more poetic in spanish)
"Its better to loose a minute of your life than your life in a minute" - My mom. Best if used when you are with someone who wants to beat traffic and cross the street when its dangerous, or beat the train etc...
"I'm more disoriented than a nun gone clubbing" -
"More spread out than duck sh*t" -Author unknown
"I know more about chicken maternity than I do about fill in the blank for that situation" -Author unknown, use it when you don't know anything about a certain subject. Clue, there is no such thing as chicken maternity
Maybe I'll think of more later on.

I have two quotes posted on my computer monitor at work.
One from when I was thrust into an unfamiliar and scary promotion I really wanted, but wasn't sure I could do:
You gain strength, experience and confidence by every experience where you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
--Eleanor Roosevelt

and one for everyday:
Perform, or vacate the bidet...

'It's better to say nothing and have people think you're stupid than open your mouth and remove all doubt.'

Told to me years ago by a very smart man.

Don't fix what ain't broke ....Mess with something long enough and it will break ....Very true with orchids. Gin
