Those who say

There is a very old saying.  I first heard it from my father.

"Those who say, don't know.  Those who know, don't have to say."

That was my father's version.  In other places I have found it in a shortened form: Those who say don't know, those who know, don't say.

At any rate it is a reminder that there is never a reason to blow one's own horn.  My dad used to say that when we blow our own horn it doesn't sound very good.  If there is praise to be had, let someone else offer it up.  It sounds a bit hollow when we ourselves are telling others about how much we have or how smart we are or what ever.

Just relax in life and be ok in your skin.  We can look at life and be content without the need to be lifted up.  Life is good, with or without the praise.

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
