I think that it's completely true, in many ways.

It could apply also to memories we hold dear. It also could mean that time and space play an important role in building up value toward any person, place or thing that adds toward a sense of well being.

Thanks for posting this particular strand of thought.....because I've often felt it was true, so very true!

You Can't Take It With You..........

I find this to be true.....

As for me, I'd much rather spend it on someone while I'm alive and see their joy and happiness than leave it to them in a will.:hangloose:

Familiarity Breeds Contempt.........

Boy this is a tough one, I'll have to ponder it a bit longer............

I think there's a whole bunch of people who believe this to be true, Sweet Bliss.

In my own experience, I've not always been beautiful. And, there are times I doubt my own overall sense of whether I am beautiful or not. As a young girl, I can tell you that I was no physical female specimen of beauty. I thought I was rather ugly and I've pictures of proof. As I have aged, I've come to terms with whether or not I feel I meet any level of beauty. All I've got is a gigantic work of doodling art, on my own mind, about being the proverbial flower who blooms in beauty in her own time.

I will also say that most anyone I've ever been romantically involved with felt that they were ugly...not good looking....or desirable.... in terms of physical appearance.

Bit most often I felt attracted to their physical "beauty".

So, in my mind, it's fairly accurate that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and that in most cases, "beauty is (and can be) more than skin deep."

---K---

Me too..... I've got some thoughts about this, but need time to consider the +\- implication of this particular item of interest.

Hopped Over A Quarter To Pick Up A Penny.......

I think it's often true! You may of gotten a real bargain on fill in the blank but didn't it cost more in gas than you actually saved sometimes?

My father said this to me often.

I had a penchant for calling out flawed thinking processes, long before I was even out of elementary grade school.

I've got lots to say about this, but feel somewhat guarded in my thoughts tonight (......).

Every Dog Has His Day..........

I think it's true............

".... let karma sort that sh*t out." :)

Don't Let Your Left Hand Know What Your Right Hand Does......


For me I can only claim it's true!

I do charitable giving for the joy it brings me, NOT for praise by others.

Don't Rain On My Parade..............


IMHO I'd rather learn from my mistakes!

Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover.............

The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions............


No thoughts on this one way or the other.............

There's never a road without a turning...........or as my mother expressed it

There Is Never A Road So Long Without A Curve

Regardless of which ever, true!

I believe this with all my heart. :hangloose:

I like her thought process. :)

Can't See The Forrest For The Trees...........

Don't Beat Around The Bush........

Once Bitten Twice Shy..........

I think this is true for most.............

Cut Your Nose To Spite Your Face.............

I think most would say it's false! Unfortunately I have done this in my younger and foolish days.

If not true, it ought be, as a nose, being erectile tissue, will need trimming when the offended person realizes what transgression is being committed.

A fool and his money are soon parted...............
