OT - Great quotes that have meaning to you...

[Wally's Comics]

old nerf here again with another post to break the monotony here...

 

I have seen a few quotes on here that have had good meaning behind them

One of them was the "nothing taste better than thin" (I think Nik or Dice wrote that)

 

But I heard an awesome statement today that I thought I would share.

I was in the copy room of my office crushed with deadlines and the fact that

no one really respects what I do when I suffer for my projects. I talked to a good

friend that that is a cool southern black girl and she said that life is silly that way and it reminds

me of something my momma used to say:

 

"you shouldn't worry and carry on so much...

because honestly, nobody really gives a damn"

Another great one that I heard from an associate many years ago:

 

"Somedays you're the hero, Somedays you are the goat -

that's just the way it is kid, don't take it personal"

 

I can't remember how many times I thought about that after getting

blazed up over some mishap.

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.

Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759

One of my personal favorites:

 

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. R.W. Emerson

[Count]

Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.

"Never send in your quarterback without his helmet" Words to live by.

[The Black Hand ®]

If you can sit don't stand.If you can stand don't walk. If you can walk don't run.

Avoid running at all times. Don't look back-something might be gaining on you.

 

These are jumbled up a bit.

Words of wisdom that have generally got stuck in my head over the years...

"A man makes plans and god laughs"

 

Ancient Jewish proverb.

[Shootydog]

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious"

Albert Einstein

[goldust40]

"A man makes plans and god laughs"

 

Ancient Jewish proverb.

 

That is a classic - I'd forgotten that one even though it was on a boardies' sig line at one point.

 

Reminds me of the quote from Brecht (another favorite)

 

"The man who laughs has not yet heard the bad news"

[DrWatson]

“The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity.” ~ Harlan Ellison

[Mac Man]

"A man makes plans and god laughs"

 

Ancient Jewish proverb.

 

That is a classic - I'd forgotten that one even though it was on a boardies' sig line at one point.

 

Reminds me of the quote from Brecht (another favorite)

 

"The man who laughs has not yet heard the bad news"

 

Sounds a little like something my old battalion commander used to say, "The enemy always has a vote."

 

And what I currently have up on my board is quote of his he used to tell us all the time, "Take a stand, do the right thing every day, without fear, without hesitation."

I actually hate the saying "Don't sweat the small stuff!"

I always answer back "I sweat the small stuff because it's the big stuff I have no control over!"
