Quotes - they can do a lot for you.


I love a good quote; I get frustrated when things don't work like they should. Take, for example, the quotes and proverbs below (as in "These are quotes and proverbs I love - they're good"). For me getting frustrated, well lets just say I've spent the past 30 minutes writing up a wonderful blog on quotes, complete with pics, only to have the entire entry disappear without a trace. Wtf?! I'm not going to re-write it now (creative genius can't be turned on or off like a switch!).

Some good quotes/proverbs (always remember that a quote, like life, is just a word):

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream!" - Mark Twain

"When travelling, always remember that a foreign country was not designed for your comfort, but rather for the comfort of those who live there." - (don't know where this came from)

“Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.” - Groucho Marx

“I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up in the morning, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day.” – Frank Sinatra

When cleaning out a tin can for recycling – “Careful – the edges are sharp – don’t cut yourself.” – Anonymous

“When it gets harder, you have to get easier.” – Kenyan running proverb (courtesy of Eric Harr)

“I was wrong to grow older. Pity. I was so happy as a child.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupery

After Fred Astaire’s first screen test, the evaluating memo read: “Can’t act. Slight bald. Can dance a little”

“Laughter is the best medicine.” – Proverb
