How about some "sayings" that compliment people? 
Seems we have read a lot of them that put down or make fun of women for something that they couldn't do anything about. Just thinking there must be some out there. For me, I've read enough of "she's ugly" ones. 

No offense meant to anyone posting them, but would like to see some that are a bit more positive.

Or am I just in a foul mood or too DanG sensitive ?

I agree with Beenthere and am a bit surprised at the lack of honour shown from parents to children in so many of the sayings.When the apostle Paul was bitten by a venomous snake,he tossed it in the fire where it would harm nobody else.Words can be like venomous snakes.

Never give up!
Every time I hear that, I think of the stork swallowing a frog with the frog 1/2 out of the beak with long arms and hands around the throat of the stork keeping it from being swallowed.

  Good things come to those who persevere!    My dad always said to me when I was about to drive away " Don't go over a hundred and fifty unless you have to"  That was his saying  :)
Think like a farmer.

While driving @ 57 mph:
Ma: "Slow down!"
Granny: "I don't care if you floored it and we took off a flyin'!"

I always minded my Granny!

Reminds me of
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do" although never heard my Dad say that.  ;D
