... and other old fashioned sayings that had a lot of truth in them
"Your feelings shouldn't control how you feel." This is fantastic. And perhaps the root of some of my difficulties over the years. 🙂 Reminds me of how David talks to his heart: "Why so downcast, O my soul? Put your hope in God."
Related to Kipling's "Gods of the Copybook Headings."
Though when you're talking about old sayings, the first thing that came to mind was a couple of rhymes I learned from my great-grandmother:
To bed to bed, sleepyhead.
Let's wait a while, said slow.
Get the pan, said Greedy Nan
Let's eat before we go!
And another:
Beans, beans, the musical fruit!
The more you eat, the more you toot!
The more you toot, the better you feel!
Let's have beans at every meal!
