The Desiderata

[HistorianChick]

My baby brother is turning 20 tomorrow... crazy...

When mom and dad don't understand, a sister always will. ~Author Unknown

To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time. ~Clara Ortega

An older sister is a friend and defender - a listener, conspirator, a counselor and a sharer of delights. And sorrows too. ~Pam Brown

Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers. ~Pam Brown

After a girl is grown, her little brothers - now her protectors - seem like big brothers. ~Astrid Alauda

More thinking and energy should be spent on more thinking and more energy. ~ Me

Plan for the worst, then if anything else happens it's gravy. - Will Rogers

[friend4u178]

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.


-- George Bernard Shaw

Do not indulge in strong drink. It makes you shoot at cops... and miss. - Robert Anson Heinlein

[lala55555]

Love is never wanting to lose faith, never wanting to give up, and never truly moving on. Love is knowing and praying in the deepest part of what's left of your heart that they feel the same.
BETTER TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST THEN TO HAVE NEVER LOVED AT ALL

[Catsmine]

Love is that condition in which the happiness and well being of another become essential to your own. -- Robert A Heinlein

Best definition I've heard.

[friend4u178]

"Statistics show that Teen pregnancy drops off significantly after Age 20"

[CaptainRich]

In life, you should only have two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. (Any color will suffice.)

If it doesn't move but should, use the WD-40.
If it should not move but does, use the duct tape.
Perfect!

I haven't been to this site it a while... it's good to see this thread is still running strong.

Well, a few months ago I went and got counseling for some personal issues I've been having and such. My counselor gave me this poem and she told me not hold onto it, I don't I'll ever be able to let it go now lol:

"The Journey

One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice --
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do --
determined to save
the only life you could save. "

The Journey - Mary Oliver

I know it's not a quote really, but I think it fits.

Watch out, I'm in a mood.

Not really quotes, more like one-liners. :)

I wondered why the Frisbee was getting bigger, and then it hit me.

Take everything in moderation. Including moderation.

Do not follow, for I may not lead. Do not lead, for I may not follow. Just go over there somewhere, please?

Never go to bed angry, stay awake and plot your revenge.

I don't want buns of steel. I want buns of cinnamon.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a cash advance.

Treat each day as your last; one day you will be right.

Follow your dreams, except for that one where you're naked at work.

I had amnesia once - maybe twice.

How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on.

In an argument, a woman always has the last word. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

I saw a woman wearing a sweat shirt with "Guess" on it. So I said "Implants?"

I'm one bad relationship away from having 30 cats.

More?

Beg. :)

A quote that I love and have lived by is
"Why Are You Trying So Hard To Fit In, When You Are Born To Stand Out."
Ive always been one that has been made fun of for the way I look, and that quote has really helped me through the years.
