Here are 3 sayings I have come across recently that I liked:

·       From a church letter board in Ossipee, New Hampshire:

“Excuses are the nails which hold the house of failure together”

·       From a client during an Internal Revenue Service audit (referring to a receipt that was being discussed):

You know the old saying: “you can have it good, fast or cheap, pick 2”

·       This from a professor discussing whether New Yorkers would heed the warnings concerning hurricane Irene:

You know the old saying about New Yorkers: “You can always tell a New Yorker, but you can’t tell them much”
