As my Father-in-law raised his cold can of beer... he would say, "If God made anything better then this, he sure kept it to himself"

My Father in Law had so many - most are not printable :(. They weren't too fresh, but nevertheless, naughty.

This was a quote from the Little Prince. It may be very simple but it made an impact on me as a child and I have held on to it even as an adult:
"What is essential is invisible to the eye."
"I am in a dress, I have gel in my hair, I haven't slept all night, I'm starved, AND I'm armed! Don't MESS with me!"
Yup, one of THOSE days!

“You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”
In loving memory of my high school friend, Faith.

Just a "symphony of random" this morning...
Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.
-- Gloria Naylor
All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.
-- Havelock Ellis
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.
-- Louisa May Alcott
A chord, stronger or weaker, is snapped asunder in every parting, and time's busy fingers are not practiced in re-splicing broken ties. Meet again you may; will it be in the same way? With the same sympathies? With the same sentiments? Will the souls, hurrying on in diverse paths, unite once more, as if the interval had been a dream? Rarely, rarely! ~Edward George Earle Bulwer-Lytton
"False hope is still hope."
- a silly quote used in my house in naughty context concerning the desire for "intimate moments" and the many failed attempts that occur with a young child running the home. For ex "hes still asleep. want to slip into the bedroom? sure! false hope is still hope!"
"Wealth belongs to those who create it"
- not to get all capitalistic with this one, its more about finding the power in yourself to enrich your life with what you choose for yourself. Wealth in happiness, in health, in security, etc... can come from within even when outside sources block your way. All you can do is all you can do.
"You are obstinate and always wrong"
- a quote from a fortune cookie my wife gave me from her meal. She didn't understand why I was upset when she gave be her prized cookie half dipped in chocolate and I pulled the message out.
"Absence of proof is not proof of absence"
- lots of ways to spin this. The scientist in me uses this to understand what we know compared to what we believe or what we don't understand. Obvious spiritual overtones can be seen as well.
"I do not believe in taking unnecessary risks, but a life without risk is not worth living."
Charles Lindbergh
When I was born God gave me two choices...

Lorelai: Michel - the phone!
Michel: Yes. It rings.
Lorelai: Can you answer it?
Michel: No. People are particularly stupid today. I can't talk to any more of them.

Luke: She's not here yet.
Lorelai: Okay! Well, you'll have to entertain me 'til she gets here. Ok Burger Boy, DANCE!
Luke: Will you marry me?
Lorelai: What?
Luke: Just looking for something to shut you up.

Babette: Oh, and just you wait 'til spring. You're going to wake up one morning, walk out, and pow - color coming out of your yin-yang! I'll see you girls tomorrow. [goes into her house]
Lorelai: I'm going to have color coming out of my yin-yang.
Rory: Good then, finally you'll be able to keep a man.

It may already have been mentioned, but I couldn't see the following:-
I not only love you for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you (or something like that) by author Elizabeth Barrett Browning :)
I thought that was a line from the poem by Roy Croft... but I could be mistaken...
Recognized it, because it is the definition of love to me...
Love
I love you
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.
I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.
I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can't help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find
I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple.
Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.
I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good.
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.
You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a word,
Without a sign.
You have done it
By being yourself.
Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means,
After all.
By Roy Croft

– Bertie Charles Forbes
It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity. I bet this kind of thing does not happen to heroin addicts. I bet that when serious heroin addicts go to purchase their heroin, they do not tolerate waiting in line while some dilettante in front of them orders a hazelnut smack-a-cino with cinnamon sprinkles. ~Dave Barry
Sorry I just had to post this here :)

Thanks for the laugh, friend! I broke out in laughter immediately when I read that! Really needed it right now! :pQuote:

Among the other fine lyrics in that song, a couple that really stand out for me are the following:
"A quiet man of music
Denied a simpler fate..."
(Found at, http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/dan+fogelberg/leader+of+the+band_20035787.html )
The above quote speaks volumes to me in it's profundity and truth!
If you know how hard it is for any one to make it in the music industry and/or to teach music in some way in schools or privately, I'm sure that you know exactly where I'm coming from with those few words speaking volumes!

Yes, it was nice of Friend4u178 to provide me with a vacation! Thank you, Friend4u178! :)Quote:

Why you ask?
I have a very strong work ethic. I do my job to the best of my ability and am willing to help others around me even when it puts a time crunch on me. There are always those who will try to take advantage of those willing to go to the "nth degree to help others" and I had to adopt my own "Work Motto" to be discerning in these situations.
"I am service oriented
BUT
Not user friendly!" ~~~ Jan Bolinger
As long as I keep that in my mind, I am able to know when to say "no" to those who are just trying to get out of their own work.
I've said it verbally at work from time to time but with a smile on my face and love in my heart! LOL
Generally, when a person is commenting on a post, they use "Quote User" to reference their comment unless it is just below the original post. I looked back through several pages but I could have just missed it. I was just wanting to read the poem but didn't locate it. I thought you might be able to direct me so I could read it. I will just keep looking. Thanks.Quote:
