Welcome to my site of sayings which I have:
picked up, made up, been told, witnessed, been a part of, thought up, act upon, live by, give thought to, used (still do) and sometimes disagree with.
If I am infringing on any copyrights it is purely because I do not know those who are the rightful owners of them. Upon notification and after verification, (click here to let me know) I will gladly give credit to anyone who can prove they are the author(s) of the saying(s). If it is their wish to not have them publicly viewed, then it is with great sorrow that I will have to remove them. However, enjoy those that are listed here.
