I was told........................?

Question

...........never tell lies, it means that you are afraid to face your accusers. Are there any other sayings that you've heard that might be useful or helpful.

Answer 1

Never eat yellow snow. It means somebody wee'd on it.

Answer 2

'Do unto others as you would be done unto' .....is NOT a great phrase to start from. What if the one doing the 'Doing' it is a flagellant / masochist?

There are various reasons for the telling of lies, and some have nothing to do with the 'facing of accusers.'

'Every cloud has a silver lining' is the one that makes me cringe. I prefer the Oriental version.....

'From s**t grows corn.'

or
'Manners maketh the man,' ~ from there I think it was George Bernard Shaw who commented that....
'Good manners are the last refuge of a scoundrel.'

A Victorian phrase was something to do with 'the telling of the quality of a Gentleman by the shine on his shoes' ~ or as someone else said, 'the ability of this Gents' servant to put a shine on 'em.'

I well remember hearing and liking the lines (uttered by a child) on a TV serial wherein she stated, 'Good manners are the lies that adults hide in.'

Otherwise ~ and it is something of a generalisation, but none the less true of so many of us ~

'There is no such thing as Adults. They are just larger children' ~ who play less. (that last bit is mine: the difference is in 'Knowing if and when you are being playful.')
