Some may make you laugh. Others may make you think. Sometimes sayings inspire us or give us a different perspective. I think we all have a handful of clever sayings that stick in our head and become principles we try to live by or be aware of. I noticed Facebook seems to have breathed new life into sharing sayings or quotes with others. It is amazing the power that words can have in our lives.

Here is your challenge: look at the list below and FB post a comment with the number of your favorite one or offer a new one up. It will be interesting to see what sayings people embrace.
