No kettle is so crooked you can't find a lid to fit it.
Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
A lousy carpenter will always blame his tools.
If all you have in hand is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

This is a quote from FB Meyer:
The great tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, but unoffered prayer.

"Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man... It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest. Once the element of competition is gone, pride is gone."
C.S. Lewis

This is a "new saying" for me, but one i hope to remember often:
"When i woke today, i opened 2 gifts from God."
- "My eyes."
