What Is The Most Important Phrase Ever Spoken By Man?
History has recorded thousands of quotes and sayings made by kings, writers, philosophers, scientists, and many other people who have been a part of history, having contributed in some way or the other to the progress of mankind ... or at least provided some entertainment to historians, scholars and those who interpret history! Surely you would have heard thousands of phrases quoted by famous people. Out of all these, which single phrase would you consider the most important? All yours!
“If you think you can, or if you think you can’t, either way you are right. It’s the thinking that makes it so.” - Henry Ford
Other highly successful people have stated this same truth over the centuries, such as Wallace Wattles, Napoleon Hill and Earl Nightingale, but Ford put it in the most concise and easy to understand way.
Well friends, the most important phrase ever uttered by man (hope you will all agree) is that single report of success made by Neil A Armstrong prior to speaking those famous words "One Small Step For Man, One Giant Leap For Mankind!" ... Cheers!
"Can I buy you a drink?"
A lot of new humans originate with that question.
I once thought I made a mistake, but I was wrong! OR...how about this one....I love you!
"Honey, I'm so sorry....I beg you to forgive me. I know I was wrong, I know I was stupid......I know you're the best thing that has ever happened to me. I'll do ANYTHING to make this up to you....Please, honey, I'm begging."
**The single-most important thing a cheating man can say....as soon and as sincerely as possible....crawling on his knees, over hot coals, with his heart in his hand and a good athletic cup in place.
You wanted something serious and profound? Oops....my bad.
"Where you are I've been......where I am you'll soon follow"
the elderly to youth....so that there's more understanding and less judgement as well as caution to their actions.
Thank You
I have to give a longer answer so I will say it again.
Thank You
I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have. Thomas Jefferson said this. It relates well to sport. Gary Player (golfer) also used this phrase once.
Well my friends, I am referring to quotes made by prominent people who adorned the pages of history (at least one page) and changed the world. (for the better or the worse) As an example please check out what our friend "A little TRUTH" says about what Henry Ford is supposed to have said. That's a fine example.
Thought about Man as a species. Different famous quotes came to mind, but I'd have to say that: "Am I my brother's keeper?" seems pretty important on a lot of different levels.
Well, you raised another question. The answer depends on what jurisdiction you are in. If you are a subject of a Democracy, yes, you are your brother’s keeper. However, under Gods law, charity is voluntary.
"Put a little salt in what you hear and sugar in what you say." Not sure where it originated but my Mom used to say it.
There are so many phrases that have become quotable, inspiring and thought provoking, however I don’t think I could possibly look to just one to hold the title of most important phrase ever. So instead I will go with the theory that any phrase spoken by man is an important one, as every word counts and all words strung into a phrase have an impact to someone somewhere.
I think that would have to be, "It is finished" of course not everybody will agree with me as to the nature of the man who uttered this phrase.
Come again? Whatever. Nice tie. I'm brushing my teeth. It's in the mail. Shut up!
Why? Why? Why? Because...to be continued in HUB
