A quote that I often heard my amish grandmother say was: Try, try, if at first you don't succeed, try try again.
She was always quoting something, I sometimes wish I could remember them...
What a wonderful giveaway, I have a real interest in the Amish life and would love to win the book.
My grandmother's favourite saying was;
'Always be ready to walk the extra mile', and it's what I try to do.
Awesome giveaway. My favorite quote is "A minute in the mouth - A lifetime on the hips". My mother used to say that to me everytime I ate something (and I was not fat) it sticks with me to this day.

Have you ever considered publishing your blog into a book? I think it would be amazing ;)

I have two young children with a third on the way, plus I work with families of newborns, so one of my favorites to keep in mind is "Remember, you are not managing an inconvenience; you are raising a human being" by Kittie Franz
My favorite quote is actually two that I ALWAYS accidentally combine:
"Never bite a gift horse in the mouth!"
Appropriate, I think, as this book is a gift!
:o)

Oh, I would love this book. I have so many quotes that I like, but I will give you one of my favorites by Robert Brault:

I'd like to be entered in this Giveaway, please!
Thank you,

Hello there! I'm a new blog reader of yours, directed here by your interview on the Amish Wisdom podcast. I'm looking so forward to reading through your past posts!
My favorite quote: "What's easy is not worth having." My grandfather said this to me this shortly before he succumbed to lung cancer in 1998. We were talking about my future plans, and he was encouraging me to pursue a career in medicine. However, I think it's applicable to all sorts of life situations, don't you?
"Keep it simple" I've heard it plenty through the years.
My favorite quote is this:
If we continue to send our children to Caesar for their education, we need to stop being surprised when they come home as Romans. ~ Dr. Voddie Baucham
Thanks for the giveaway!!
When God closes a door, He opens a window.

This is pretty good, a proverb for a chance to win a bookful:D I think I've enjoyed reading everyone's entries as much as my cup of earl grey, this morning. Ok, here goes:
"We get too soon old, and too late smart."
Thanks for the giveaway:D
"Pretty is as pretty does."
I enjoy reading your blog so much! I also enjoy Suzanne Woods Fisher's books, and would enjoy a copy of her latest book of Amish Proverbs. I enjoy reading The Budget every week and I keep notebooks full of the quotes I find there. I've been doing it for a couple of years now, and have 5 notebooks full :)
Here is one of my favorites:
"Your children need your presence more than your presents."
Oh, and one more..."Those travelling the highway of humility won't be bothered by heavy traffic."
~Sharon Lewis, Maine
He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
I just found your blog recently and have been enjoying reading it.
One of my favorite quotes is by Helen Keller -- "I long to accomplish great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty and joy to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble.
Thanks so much for the give-away as the book looks absolutely delightful.
Blessings...
I hate that I missed this giveaway but I'd like to share this anyway.
It's not a proverb, but a quote:
"Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures."
— Dalai Lama XIV
