It's all fun and games till someone loses an eye. Then its fun and games with no depth perception.

I absolutely love this quote from Ernest Hemingway:

"Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut."

If everything seems to be going perfectly, you've obviously missed something! -My Dad

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him dance a soft shoe on top of a piano in a pink Tutu. -My Dad ( a few years later and a little senile)

"And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what, together, we can do for the freedom of man."

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond all measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be that brilliant, that gorgeous, that talented, that fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."
~ Nelson Mandela

Should they whisper false of you,
Never trouble to deny;
Should the words they say be true,
Weep and storm and swear they lie.

for xxblushesxx:

'To calm a fussy child, brush their hair. If this does not work, apply the other end of the brush, to the other end of the child.'
I can't verify that one, but i think it is Lewis Carroll.

Time waits for no man.

Nothing is free in this life.

Life is full of fun; get out there and get it.

My Grandad and Dad.

If you sail into the sun, beware the eyes of greed.

Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man, but sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.
