What goes round comes round.

[trekkietrina]

Does anyone know the origin of the saying: "What goes round comes round?"

Click here for a web-page on such old adages and their sources...where known. Once there, if you scroll down to the actual saying, you will find that the source is listed as 'unknown'. Of course, that is just true for the creators of that site, but I suspect you may not find a definite 'author' elsewhere either.

I am sure quizmonster is correct. Until I read his post, I thought it was my mother who originated this.

QM is often always right nearly most of the time, is the Pope a catholic, do birds fly, do bears.. ahem.

WGACO is just one of many 'stating the bleedin obvious' clich�s.......

It all comes out in the wash
A taste of your own medicine
What's good for the goose is good for the gander

what's sauce for the goose may be sauce for the gander Octavius but one man's meat is another man's poison. Absence makes the heart grow fonder but out of sight out of mind... those proverbs have everything covered.

It's from the old 'wheel of life' adage. Seriously (see 'tarot' etc), in folklore it was seen that life went cyclically (sp?) so that what you did in one cycle of you life affected another.
