- Ireland is one of my favorite countries.
It was very nice and interesting to create a video that contains the wisdom of the Irish people.
I hope this issue will be useful and informative for you.

For some real Irish history, feel free to see my family history video I just made a few days ago, 1751-1956, restored version. I added your video "Incredibly Wise Irish...." as an end screen, so appropriate! Thanks! czcams.com/video/YHzoLfdRe0k/video.html

this is actually deep unlike the stuff on instagram
please explain what "eight is for the man and nine for the women" means
@@jamescool7419 The voice actor is "desperately unrehearsed" since he declaimed "lives" as one would say "one lives" and not as "a cat has 9 lives."
If you speak it the latter way, the saying should go: "8 lives for the man and 9 lives for the woman."
It is deeper than I am, for I am a gael of scots (tartan for ervin) and not gael of Eire (Ireland) but perhaps it means that women generally live a little longer than men?
After that, you're on your own, beats me. Direct any other prayer requests to St. Paddy, saying "Erin go bragh."
All the best!
("Kind words never broke a mouth..." that's a great 1 !)
When it comes to creating wealth, the truth is more important than the facts. I realized the secret of creating a wealth of over *800K $,* and would love to share my ideas with ignorant ones here.
That’s great. I’m lucky I stumbled over this comment. I have an exigent question on how to possibly generate good returns off my *250K $* doing nothing in the bank. Please can you share ideas and thoughts with me?

Many gems here. "Don't marry the one you love, but marry the one who loves you." Brilliant.
Really?! Then go get a dog! A marriage is two People in love with each other-friends- giving-wanting the best for the other part! Marrying s o. you don't love is selfish!
Excellent imdeed..
Love is a two way interaction. Only the ratio is not always equal. But to marry someone whom you dont love at all is a kind of stupid drama that you have to act in front of your spouse, family members and friends. The pain is within you although your spouse gives a lot of money. Unless you are a true gold digger.
@@danielazubcic8356 well said 👏 👍 😊 absolutely agree! Takes 2 to love and respect eachother, aswell as decide to marry each other. Definitely takes both man & woman aswell as others be it woman and woman too. 2 people must be inlove with each other for any marriage to work beautiful . 💑.
That's the worst one for me. It's unfair for the partner, if he/she does everything for you and gets nothing in return. I want a partner not a pet.
One from my mother: "if you want to hold on to your children, hold them lightly".
Too smart
My, my, what would we do without the lovely Irish! Such beauty and wisdom from within. ❤️ 🇮🇪
How are you doing today
So proud of my Irish roots , though born in Edinburgh .Greatest people on earth .
Doesn't that mean you are Scottish.
love it "Do not resent growing old many are denied the privilege"
This is the best and many do not understand it!
This quote reminded me of my best friend who was murdered by his mother when I was 10.
I apologized to him in my mind, because I often complain about my life. (I'm 30.)
I'm dying. I wish I wasn't.

At age 60 this year I came to Ireland for the 1 st time. I wept when I left. Such wonderful people. So much genuine caring and heart. Greets and Love from Germany.
Two Irish sayings that refer to wisdom of thinking before you speak in a conflicted situation: "Shut mouth catches no flies" and "Its many a man's mouth broke his nose".
Although the tongue is the smallest organ in the body it can cause the greatest damage It can sink ships especially friendships We all need to be careful of how we use our tongue If we have nothing good to say about another then it's best to say nothing at all
@@carolinekennedy6642 The Bible speaks about this in James 3:5-9
I was told this a long time ago and it has stayed with me ever since: You may not be responsible for everything that happens to you in your life, but you are responsible for what you do about it.
6:55
Omg, that's so deep and original! (NOT)
That is so very true.

It is an old roman emperor that said that, I think 😊
My favourite saying from my Irish father ' If you do not agree with someone , walk a mile in their shoes ...and if you still disagree with them , it does not matter , because you're a mile away and have nicked their shoes '.....wise, wise words .
That used to be told as an Indian saying, walk a mile in their moccasins……! 😉🤷🏼♀️

One that has stuck with me from my dad for decades:
Dad: "There's only one thing better than perfect"
Me: "What's that Dad?"
Dad: "Good enough."
Took me a few years to understand that one, but it holds a lot of water for me now. Has a bit of that Irish humor to it too.
After watching videos from the Bovington Tank museum, I think that was part of the reason why Germans lost ww2. They spent a lot of time and resources making the perfect tank, while everyone else made them just good enough and could make twice as many in half the time.
"Good enough" is nice for life is just that when fixation isn't our suffering.
Good enough is the enemy of perfect.
thats great to read! (comming from an person who recover from habits of perfectionism)
@@letsgobrandon5800 within the species of the human realm, there is nothing that is perfect.
A bad wife takes advise from everyone but her husband! (A wife's friends will destroy your marriage) So true!
And vice versa
@@Moespeaks
Agreed
Only if you let them.
I've seen a husband and his friends do that and worse. Even a single man, his friends got " jealous" (yep) when he has a woman that he is really into and those friends of his they have anger against him and hate her and will never like her ever because she supposedly took away their friend. They are sick. Boys grow the f-ck up. No one has time for your bullsh-t.
The same with men. Really it's true.
husband has no credit since he is available all the time . people respect those who are not available.
All the quotes are simply beautiful in words and rich in thoughts. I, an Indian woman is surprised see that many of these are found in Indian languages with very small differences in words with ideas intact. Doesn't it mean that we, humans have gone through similar experiences in life and doesn't it make all of us similar all over the world?
Yes
I recently watched Netflix's Stories of Rabindranath Tagore and I was thinking how similar the Indian romance was to my experience as a North American. Yes, it is true that people all over the world have a common collective unconsciousness but also common collective emotions. I find Indian women to be so pleasing to the eye and their grace is so unique compared to Western women.
@@Mickeycuatropatas Ah, a Jungian.
My friend is muslim- her mother forced her to marry a guy who she thought is ugly- WHY because he said that my friebd is very pretty- anyway both of them divorced and remarried other PEOPLE and divorced again.
Every single human being, bore into this world by God, is unique, singular, special, and His. Jeremiah 1:5, "Before I formed you, in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you". God begins Loving us from the very first instant, he designs in His mind who we will uniquely be!!! Then and there, You are made "Sanctified" -- made Special, Sacred, and Holy, by your Father Creator of the whole Universe!!!
"It's not what happens to us in life but it is how we deal with it that matters"
Here's a Russian gem: "Don't touch sh*t and you won't smell"
This nugget of wisdom saved me much strife and heartache.
People don't have to touch sh*it and they still smell.....and one of the reasons is, they are full of it.
A man's worth is shown by his own shoes. My Irish grandmother told me to never buy cheap shoes but rather invest in a very good pair and keep them clean, polished and always ready for your feet and display. Same with a coat. I've always work trench coats, long "raincoats" like a London fog.
Mine said always invest in good shoes and a good mattress. Because if you're not in one, you're in thee other 🤣
Don't marry the one you love, but marry the one never gonna give you up never gonna let you down never gonna run around and desert you never gonna make you cry never gonna say goodbye never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

"I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling. Irish sayings make me cry! Never gonna give, never gonna give, give you up!"
And how many people would have ALL those tests?? 2%?!! 😅😅😅
Traits that is.
Shigami 🎶 Brilliant - 🎤🕺 Rick Astley lyrics. Memory of a happier carefree time. Tk u.
My Irish dad said ," either u do or don't, there's no in-between. And "you can't out-run a reputation. And my favorite was " Never forget your Irish girl" REST IN PARADISE DAD LOVE U AND MISS U TERRIBLE
My own dad used to say "it's time for a bit of I can and I will"
My grandfather used to say "You come into the world with nothing. If you live right you leave with your name."
Love it !!
There is a country &western song here in Ireland sung by the late great Big Tom and it goes like this :- You are going out the same way you came in
Doesn't matter who you are or where you've been Doesn't matter who you are Royalty or Superstar you are going out the same way you came in....and there's more....Look it up on You Tube A great song by an all time great singer who is now passed away R.I.P. Big Tom 🙏
One of my favorites has to be "May those who love us, love us; and if they do not love us, may God turn their hearts; and if He does not turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles so we know then by their limping."
🤣
LOL!
I love this one . I have a refrigerator magnet with this saying on it and every time I see it I laugh.
Irish prayer I have always loved: May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand. This traditional Irish blessing is an ancient Celtic prayer.
Very nice!
Is Beautiful
That's beautiful!!!
The Irish Blessing
May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face and the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars 🍀😉
"What a sober man has in his heart, the drunk has on his lips"
"The innocent and the beautiful have no enemy but time" --- Irish proverbs
And paedophiles, of course.
@@davisutton1 lol, clever. You must be Irish
In vino veritas.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that sounds similar to the Jewish expression, "Wine goes in, secrets come out."
"Never ask an Irishman his opinion. He is about to give it to you. " Me , the Irishman.
What's your opinion 😁
Thats great if he listen to your opinion as well 😂🤣
Shit never ask an Irish woman her opinion.... that's the secret of life 🤣😆🙃😊😋😀😆😆😉😊🤪🙃🙃🦋

"A closed mouth -- a wise head." One of my favorites and quite the challenge at times.
I know the feeling!
Just smile and roll your eyes.
My Greek mom would always say that to me. It is hard sometimes!
"Just say less." read this on a comment once, and every time I break up with a girl I remember it.
Worst place to be open about your feelings and vulnerable is when you're trying to let someone go, just say the essentials and leave it to rest.
'A silent mouth is a melodious one's
How true that is'
No disparagement here but it only proves that the totality and universality of the human experience, that this wisdom is found equally in many cultures, not just the Irish. But it is always fun to hear the cultural take on this wisdom
“All the world’s a stage, and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.”
"A woman will never leave a man who does not hold her" That's cold bruh!!! 🥶 I had to rewind to make sure I read that one correctly
One of my favourites is 'Beware the anger of a patient man' I used to say something similar when I was working as a woman amongst a lot of men. I would keep quiet up to a point when they made stupid remarks or were particularly rude and then I'd explode much to their shock, they'd always say the same thing "but I thought you were so quiet" to which I explained that I was quiet because I was listening to all the rubbish they talked until I couldn't listen any longer, their faces were a picture!! 😊
That saying pretty much epitomised my dad.
Oh yes. They can be so ruthless. How are you doing. Hope you are fine and staying safe out there?
I'm the same. I have a long fuse but its a nightmare when it runs out.
“Don’t marry the one you love, but married the one who loves you.
The one you love sometimes always end up to be that one that doesn’t loves you and the one you does not love is the one that loves you
It sounds like an abuser's principle.
Huh
Gas light made easy
You're right it would be better to say make sure the feelings mutual. Is it the intent or clarity in the health of those people
Sometimes and always?
WTF! I'm an Afghan and I heard half of these from my mom. she would even say it in poetry that I still remember. for example, she would tell me your tongue can be your best friend and your worst enemy. Sunshine always follows rain we say There is always light after darkness. Who gossips with you will gossip of you. A kind word never broke anyone's mouth, my mom used to tell me if you don't have anything good to say then don't say anything at all or It won't kill you to be nice try it.
☺Isnt it true? 'Wisdom' spans all cultural barriers.... Or moms do anyway!😀
I think common sense belongs to all humans (well, some more than others) and in the end, these sayings are almost the same in any culture.
@@hope2029 ...Love that bit of wisdom...so true..."
Wisdom spans all cultural barriers...Or mom do anyway."
Here's one of mine. "Smile! My Mom chose life!"
When I saw this.. I instantly thought the very first was going to be "Jesus Mary and Joseph give me strength", said my Irish mother always!!!!
My mom always said this when I was growing up. We are Americans with roots in Ireland. Later on I met Cubans who said their moms said Jesus, Maria y Jose. I think it’s a universal Catholic saying. Lol
Coming from an Italian father and an Irish mother my mom would share these words of wisdom over and over while I was growing up and I used to say where do you get all these sayings and she would laugh and say there's plenty more . I'm62 and she's gone now but I can still hear her voice somehow !
What a great mix ,Italy-Ireland! Both a very lively and happy nations. 🍀🍀

What does it mean eight lives for a man and nine for a woman???
Please reply
"Experience is the comb that life gives a bald man". Hahaha, too good.
What I like about these proverbs is as wise as they are, they put in a little humor, and if a man can find mirth in wisdom, he'll never forget it.
So true
Like,...don't marry the one you can live with, marry the one you can't live without.
@@keithknox5829 very wise words
Wisdom comes and goes...
Knowledge remains ....
a wise man ( my Grandfather) told me that ....
More useful then many things we have to learn in school.
A few English ones I remember from my childhood:
Too many cooks spoil the broth
Many hands make light work
He who hesitates is lost
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Evil is as evil does
A man who lives in a glass house shouldn't throw stones
Still water runs deep
A pen is mightier than a sword
A favourite of mine, " Good timber does not grow with ease, the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees"
So true. Similar to "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger".
I love this.
Reminds me of one that says….. A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.
We love Ireland and all the wisdom that came from it's shores and people! We love visiting there with great friends and it was a happy day when we found out we have a lot of Irish in our own family roots on both sides! :)
How much more memorable these wise Irish Proverbs in a lilting eloquent Irish accent. 😍
How are you doing today
May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May yhe sun shine warm upon your fields and until we meet again may god hold you in the hollow of his hand.
An Irish Olessing.
Ireland s2
The value of a smile is that it enriches those who receive without impoverishing those who give. 🙂
Lovely saying. Especially since it's a gift, that works both ways.
Yes but wear your Mask,,,,Covid 19
I really liked these. Some in particular _ Every eye forms it's own fancy. - Sometimes one day changes everything; sometimes years change nothing. Don't marry the one you love, but marry the one who loves You. - Who gossips with you, will gossip of you. - and - Both your friend and your enemy think you will never die. ~ Wow
"Its' easy to halve the potato where there's love" is the parallel to the Irish proverb I learnt:
"When poverty walks in the door, love flies out the window."
You are absolutely right and that’s so true. How are you doing. Hope you are fine and staying safe out there?
"Let a shout come from without and see them all unite". No truer words have ever been spoken.
Democrats against Republicans in the USA NOW!
I have one: "Never use computer generated voices if you want the true impact of words to be felt" (Would it be so hard to find a lovely Irish voice to narrate?)
I felt so too very disappointing
Many have heard these wise words in Irish voices, the man speaking, he speaks fine, and his voice does not take away the meaning in these wisdoms. GOD BLESS.
Same.
@@camoflash7621 Hi, I love an Irish accent, I father was Irish, so yes I understand what your saying, and others, my point was the accent doesn't take away the wisdom of the words. Wishing you and all whom may read this A BLESSED NEW YEAR 🙏
That's why I silence the voice and read the captions instead.
This one I love "The best way to keep loyalty to a man's heart is to keep money in his purse", "A kind word never breaks anyone's mouth".
Reminding me that "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach". 🙂
I'm not Irish but this is what I've realized a month ago.
Yes, but these sayings are all merely generalizations which do not by any means always apply accurately.
@@gregoryross.303 it may not be general. I interpret it as "don't waste a man's time for no purpose or don't waste your time for no purpose" but "a man should always watch what he says because words can create war".
The words of many brilliant souls..
Yes they really are and I really enjoyed watching. How are you doing. Hope you are fine and staying safe out there?
That was extremely interesting. Many of the quotes I could figure out, and many I couldn't, but I still enjoyed watching. One that specifically caught my attention was, "A trout in the pot is worth a salmon in the sea." It sounds similar to, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."
Something similar .... trout lips on your face means you've gone too far!
Wisdom never gets old or goes out of style.
But it can be a long time coming.
Wisdom and humour, perfect combination!
Haven't read all the comments here - so it is possible that this Irish saying might be already posted.
This was one of my mother's favorite;. "It is easier to live with the devil you know than the devil you don't know,"
"It's better to live on the roof of the house, than within the house with a contentious partner."
I'm Irish american and I've heard that before but I didn't even know it was an Irish saying. May your mother and mine rest in peace and have a hearty afterlife
" I complained I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet " . Love that .
Wow. Blows your mind.
In Trinidad and Tobago watching Irish sayings. Ah love them, especially the one - if you want to be criticized - marry. 🤔🤣🤣
Two of my favorites that I live by are "Never grow a wishbone daughter where your backbone ought to be." and "If you don't have your word in this life, you don't have anything."
May the roads rise up to meet you May the wind be forever at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
The rains fall softly upon your fields
Until we meet again
May God keep you safe in the palm of his/her hands
God bless you ~
Many proverbs are English translations from the Gaelic. Some are mistranslated as in : "May the road rise to meet you".
This makes no sense. The Irish verb "Éirigh" has two meanings;
"To rise" & "To succeed"
The proverb is "Go nÉirigh an bóthar leat" in "May your journey/road be successful" not "May the Road rise to meet you."
@@Martin-sp4zf Well, I interpreted it to mean (or misinterpreted it) if you should fall the road rising up will lessen the impact.
God is a He
"Close the door, you'll let the cold out", "We'll take the long way, it will be quicker..." , "they can talk the hind leg off a donkey"
Love hearing these. My Momma would say these when I was a kid therefore I passed it onto my children. Words of wisdom for sure.
I am Irish and recognise only 5 of those max. Here are some: Don't marry for money, just love where it is; Long runs the fox; You're a long time dead; The Titanic - it was all right when it left here; She has a face that would sour milk; He would pick a fight with his own shadow; You couldn't believe his oath; She was goin' that fast, she was meetin' herself on the way back; She would sell her own mother; He was as skinny as two yards of pump water; You can't fatten a thoroughbred. Sure, I could go on all night - that'll have to do ya for now!
Love that!
Sounds like a lot of Irish sayings were taken up in Australia 🇦🇺
I’m Irish and Scottish. I’ve heard so many of these.From my father and my grandmother
@@iriswaterford8881 A good many People fled Ireland for Australia and New Zealand! Perhaps that is why!
@@annek1226 Yes, they did. I had two ancestors come from Ireland only they were convicts. The German, Scottish & English were free settlers. The Irish ones were young, fell in love, finished their sentences, got married & had 9 children. I like to think they used these sayings on their children, because all bar one turned out well.
"Don't marry the one you love, marry the one who loves you."
"You're not doing anyone any favors if you marry someone you don't love" -- my mother.
Your mom sounds like a hilarious and wise woman!
Don't marry the one you love but the one that loves you, very wise Indeed 🙏🏽.
Or maybe a little stupid if you then wind up marrying somebody who's stalking you - and who you don't love. Just sayin'.
@@ZZSmithReal haha funny reply. Depends what the stalker can offer you i guess.
I'd like to append "and be worthy of that love"
@@ZZSmithReal Before you marry, you KNOW your own feelings. You have to assume the other person's feelings. Don't marry unless you are convinced love is mutual.
No it isn't. It's drivel.
Love conceals ugliness while hate reveals many faults. See this happen so much.
Isn’t that the truth, any divorce lawyer will tell you that.
That's a good one.
Do not regret growing old most are denied the privilege..
It’s good to remember that not everyone’s life experience causes them to think of long life as a privilege…
One I heard as a child: 'Conscience is a luxury only those with a full stomach can afford'. My father told me it after I asked about my history homework, specifically the great famine and alleged cases of cannibalism.

Sounds like blaming a lack of integrity on one's socioeconomic situation. A cop-out.
@@GhostSamaritan Agree.
@@GhostSamaritan I kind of agree with you but as time goes on I realise that it is probably not that simple. It is easier but not impossible to have that integrity when your “stomach is full” and you have at least some opportunities around you. The longer I live, the less judgemental I become.
We have a lot of similar proverbs here in Sweden .Like "Tala är silver, tiga är guld" To speak is silver, to be silent is gold. "En fågel i handen är bättre än tio i skogen" A bird in the hand is better than ten in the forest.
Like in Thailand 'speak get 2 coin, silent got gold'
Cash in my wallet is better than one lottery ticket.
This makes me happy since my mother’s side of the family is Irish!
These wise words have been swirling around the planet for centuries in various tongues. Gr8 if we can heed a few of them.
Seasons Greetings one and all. 🦌🦌🦌.
Each one is gold.. especially the one about life "life is like making a tea so it depends on how we make the tea" ....
My Irish grandmother always told me, " Even a fish wouldn't get caught if it kept it's mouth shut."
How are you doing today
Here’s some more.
Better to be looked over than overlooked.
The only person you can never lie to is yourself.
Closed eyes hear everything.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Everything in moderation including moderation.
No one runs away from a wagging dog.
Sometimes doing absolutely nothing is the best response.
5 seconds of silence in conversation is a great tool.
If you can't be with the one you love, then love the one you're with. Wise advice. I think I had heard such gems from a song from the 1970s. So trite.
How the hell you suppose to be happy sounds like settling.
Crosby Stills and Nash 1980. Love the one you're with.
Shitty advice
@@ezmarktc2696 exactly
@@bastonor ..thought it was just a Stephen Stills track on Atlantic Records. Whatever, it was a fun song but, just like Sting's "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" its theme lost appeal somewhat when the idea of free love clashed with the scary reality of AIDS and other STDs during the '80s.
i love all these old saying from every cultures, imagine during these old time if it was a pc world like today, nothing great of a gems will ever come of them.

Never underestimate the intelligence of your ancestors because you have no idea what they had to go through! They love you and are watching over you! One beautiful day, you will meet them in the afterlife and realize that you have reached the shores of heaven! Do not fear death, all our loved ones will be there waiting for us when it is our time
Oh, how I love these irish quotes! 🇸🇪 From Sweden with love! 🇮🇪
I've only got to think about the Irish, and I'm happy. GOD bless them.
''A bad wife takes advice from everyone, but her husband. '' Wow ! Unfortunately, Majority of wives believe they are much smarter than their husbands.
That’s a bad recipe for marriage. I think there needs to be a mutual love and respect. Keep others out of your marriage and always believe the best about your spouse. My husband is smart, strong, loyal and extremely hard working. I know how blessed I am to have him so the only ones allowed in my marriage are God, him and I.
Brilliant, some of my best friends growing up were Irish their parents were always coming out with gems like this.
I'm a patient man and the quote is true. If i get angry, run.
Love these Irish Quotes. Got Irish blood in my DNA..on my late maternal grandmother's side...Now I know where my Irish Friend got his quotes from as I heard some of these from him...thank you for sharing.
From my Granny from Kilkenny " old age might be honourable but it's not much fun"!
True ,better to marry some one who loves you because you will grow to love that person in return!
And you will have "WEALTH" that ONLY YOU CAN SQUANDER.
No. You don't because you didn't in the first place.
Or you cheat because you settled since you never wanted them. I see it all the time.
Marry the one who loves you juuuust a little Bit more than You Love them….. And as time goes on YOUR Love will Grow to the Same level as theirs❤️💞❤️ please be sure to have love in your heart for your partner .
until that person is a yandere and inprisons you in their basement until you love them back.
If a man loved me and showed it to me everyday by working together for us, honesty, loyalty and kindness; I believe I would fall in love with him.❤️
That’s me!
As a child, love broke my heart so badly, I swore I would never give my heart like that again but I failed.

"If you want to be criticized, marry." Brilliant.
My Irish granny used to say "Never let a man know what you have in your pocket" and also "if you find a good man, get rid of him before he turns bad". There were many more but most could not be repeated here. She was a stong Irish woman.
It's not true just a pessimistic way toward many men
Loves the one that said ‘No matter how many rooms you have in your house, you’re only able to sleep in one bed’. Rings oh so true. Even black hens lay white eggs is another saying that is very good . ……Lastly, I get this feeling that it would have been more fitting to have an Irishman doing the narrating just to give it that little extra bit of genuineness to it.
I silence the voice and just read the captions.
Goodness is only gift for goodness have been shared. Thanx, Ireland is Great.
My favorite prayer: For those that love us, may God keep them and their family in his care. For those that do not love us, may God turn their hearts. But if he can not turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles so we will know them by their limping."
Oh so funny 🤣🤣
Here for wisdom ☁️🙆☁️ a kind word never broke anyone's mouth
I love that one. I've never heard it before and this may sound corny, but I always try to say something nice to someone especially if they look a bit down. I don't mean in a false way, in a genuine way. It takes 2 minutes to say something nice and I think in these days of social media, keyboard warriors etc, it's a good way to live. People always remember how you made them feel.
Never fear death, you'll live longer.
A lifetime of commitment and hard work can be sullied by a minute's madness......
Very wise words here. Thank you for sharing.
My grandmother used to say this same thing wish I had listened to her
I usually don't hold back my tongue when I'm around a friend, since it shows that I'm just true, not mean. It's better that I'm the one who will remind them on what to change for themselves, than being gossiped around by those other friends of them who, at the same time, smiling in front of them. 🙂
It became my principle in friendship. 🙂
i am usually a quiet person , how ever when i see something suspicious i will not hold back
Well... to quote the video, "Better the coldness of a friend than the sweetness of an enemy."
Cold hard facts from a friend? Sweet sh*t you want to hear from someone to stick you in the ass??? Maybe???
It's "wit" technically and not every quote necessarily applies everywhere to every situation in everyone's life. ;o)
Provided that 'everything has a limit. In friendship, it's not your intent that matters mostly; rather his/her/their acceptance/ response towards it. If you ask me, I will go 100% with you. At the end of the day, my conscience is free.
A saying from Holy Scripture:-
" Beware of the wolves in sheep's clothing"
"They hide their malice behind a mask of virtue"
"Who gossips with you, will gossip of you"
"Sunshine always follows the rain". Unless, you live in Minnesota, where the snow and the cold follows the rain. Sunshine is just something old folks tell their grandkids about, though no one believes such silliness.
Feel sorry for you guys.😞
I don't think some of these are just Irish sayings but it's cool to see their take on these.
"it takes a big man to cry, but even a bigger man to laugh at the big man crying" - Jack Handy
One of my favorites. Another is "Don't let the doorknob hit you where the good Lord split you." - George Jefferson
Sunshine always follows rain, that hits home.
How are you doing today
Proverbs 9:10 - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
do not rely on wisdom from the world or anything from the world because it will always fail except the Word of GOD. Luke 1:37 - For no word from God will ever fail.
The Bible is the foundation of wisdom. All this wisdom in the world is inspired by the Bible.
