When it relates to gossipers and busy bodies, there's a famous quote from my region & culture:
"The same dog that will bring a bone, will also tote a bone!"
"Watch them dogs!"  :-X

Dad spoke that one as well. I was strongly corrected when as we were gathering around the supper table he quietly removed my plate and just left my spot empty. Everyone at the table understood and no one including me said anything. My motivation was renewed for the next day!!

Not sure where to put this, so I'm posting here.  If it needs to be somewhere else, Admins please move as you see fit.  Nothing obscene or political here but I think some readers might consider this about "old" people (thus under old sayings):

People born in the 40's have lived
in eight decades,
two centuries
and two millenniums

We had the best music,
the fastest cars, root beer malts,
drive-in theaters, and happy days!

We interrupt this thread to clarify a few forum rules. 

If you have to substitute the letters in a word with punctuation marks, the use of that insinuation is not permitted.

Let's keep it clean folks.  There are plenty of places to find crude, tasteless comments on the internet.  The Forestry Forum isn't one of them. 

Thanks for understanding.

Here are a few of my favorites

"If you never do what other men call foolish, you'll only know what foolish men know"

"Perfection is the enemy of good" - this one gets me when I try to improve something that is workable and then ruin it by trying to make it better and then wasting time fixing it.

Regarding income tax preparation, a old accountant told me long ago, "pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered"

"You catch more bees with honey than you do with vinegar", my favorite boss told me this regarding dealing with a difficult customer.

"Always take the high road"

There is a german saying that I like regarding people that make "much ado about nothing" or blows things out of proportion, goes something like "he's one that drills very small holes in very thin wood"

"Good better best, never let it rest, until the good is better and the better's best"

"A rolling stone gathers no moss"

"A bird in hand is worth two in the bush"
