'A woman can look book moral and exciting...if she also looks as if it was quite a struggle.'
~ Edna Ferber
'Don't knock the weather, nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while.'
~ Kin Hubbard
'I've always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.'
~ Jorge Luis Borges
You know that you are getting older, when all the names in your address book end in M.D.- Harrison Ford
I always knew I wanted to be somebody, but I see now I should have been more specific. - Lily Tomlin
My favorite from the Bard, King Lear - "you cannot be old sire for you are not yet wise".
Othello, "I am one, sir, that comes to tell you your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs."
In the 60's people took acid to make the world weird.
- - - - Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
Oh, Lord! Were these supposed to have a moral???
No, I don't think there's any morality here, one way or another. Someone rather odd sent it to me and I thought it was weird... but interesting. Not deep, though the world definitely seems weirder than ever.
Nobody in my family takes Prozac, so I'm not sure it really does make the weird seem normal.
I know so many taking it; and I do see the underlining of a sardonic morality play. All my friends are better for it - but I wish I could have them as them! Thanks!
How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then rest afterward. -- Spanish Proverb
This would be a great world to dance in if you didn?t have to pay the fiddler. - Will Rogers
I like that one.
Welcome, chatoyant ~ hope you're enjoying the site!
Thank you, Rae, I am. I see I need to watch it when I cut and paste!
Here's another one from Will Rogers that I like:
"Don't squat with your spurs on."
Ohh, I love that one. That's in one of my cowboy humor books. I should dig that out -- man, it had some great quotes. (However, I think you may already have taken the best one.)
Ha ha, cute little jumpy guys there, Rae. I've got to figure out how to do that one of these days.
Piffka, thanks. I think that is probably one of the best quotes ever!
And here's yet another from Will Rogers (one of my favorites, in case you haven't noticed):
After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.
- Will Rogers
"It's better to leave a bad impression, than no impression at all"
-My friend Howie, prior to hitting on women in bars
Love the Will Rogers quotes!
'You can't say that civilization don't advance...for in every war they kill you a new way.'
~ Will Rogers
There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.
~ From "The Wisdom of Will Rogers"
