Well if it comes to quoting, I generally like to stay upbeat. And I like humour for sure! So I adore quotes from our Winnie... Churchill that is. At an ambassadorial ball, Churchill and the American Ambassador (no insult intended here just a fact) went to the restroom at the same time. When Churchill had finished he headed for the door. The American AMbassador stopped him and said unctiously: "When I was a boy we were taught to wash our hands after using the lavatory." Churchill replied: "Really? When I was a boy we were taught not to piss on our hands." Very cutting, but does make me laugh. XV

Ewwwww! So glad I never shook Churchill's hand! We have missed you, XV.
Here's one from Willie Nelson, his philosophy of life:
"Fortunately, we are not in control."

I was getting my protein food today to help prevent dizzyness from low blood volume by eating a nice cheese beer bowl (is this way too much info?) and found a Mae West quote in the bathroom-I had missed earlier;
Good girls write diaries; bad girls are too busy for that.
Something like that.

Great quotes. I feel like going out and finding a Mae film. I love the way she stands with her hand on her hip.

"You can't keep a good woman down; she likes to be on top...of things."
Mae West....ok, no; I just made that up. But it sounds like something Mae would say.

LOL! I like that, Gams. And speaking of our gal Mae, here's another larger than life blonde: "I'll be this way when I'm eighty, like Mae West. I may be on crutches, in a wheelchair or propped up on some old slantboard, but I'll have my high heels, my nails and makeup on, my hair'll be all poufed up and my boobs'll still be hangin' out." ~Dolly Parton (who else?)

lol rofl not an inteligent quote but it made me giggle
Truth...never comes into the world but like a Bastard, to the ignominy of him that brought her forth.

If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being, and who is willing to destroy his own heart?

lmv, you've got some interesting quotes there.
Siren, ya gotta love Dolly's quotes, and though I don't do my nails or wear make-up, don't have poufed hair, (except when I wake up in the morning), or have boobs that are big enough to hang anywhere, I am in total agreement with the philosophy!

I'm with you, Gams. I want to be one of those spirited older ladies. I have a local role model. At OU softball games, I often see a very elderly little lady with her adult granddaughter. The lady knows every player's name, and roots them on when they're up to bat. She thinks she's yelling, but her voice would fit right in at the dinner table. "Come on, Christina. Just a nice little hit, hon. That's all you need, just a nice little hit."
My mom makes most all the Sooners' home basketball games, travelling 80 miles to do it. Yells like a banshee when things go wrong, and when things go right. She comes up to attend concerts with me, too. She has a lot of pain that she never says much about. But she doesn't let it stop her.
LMV, sounds like there's never a dull moment with that cast of characters! ~Siren

Yep; one of those spirited oldies but goldies; long gray ponytail, careening through the woods on roller skis listening to metal; that'll be me. I'll pick you up, Siren, and you can yell at me, ""Come on, Phalon. Just a nice little hit, hon. That's all you need, just a nice little hit", as we run-down anything in our path.
"Necessity can set me helpless on my back, but she cannot keep me there; nor can four walls limit my vision." ~ Margaret Fairless Barber

Terrific quote. Thanks for that. ~Siren

I've had this one posted on my refridgerator for a long time:
If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michaelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper that did his job well. -- Martin Luther King

A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

Ooh Mistress P , I like that last one, very nice indeed.
And LMV love the depression one,ROFL.
And our Siren I really liked the Martin Luther King one, it's beautiful. It put me in mind of a famous Midrash (story from the Rabbis of old), that has always been one of my favourites.
On his death bed the Hasidic Rabbi Zusia began to cry, and one of his students asked him why he was crying. Rav Zusia answered his student,
"I am crying because now I understand that God will not ask me, 'Why were you not Abraham, or why were you not Moses?' God will ask me, 'Why were you not Zusia?' And I will not know what to say."
We sometimes get so caught up in trying to be like someone else, or to live up to someone else's standards or names, that we forget how to be ourselves. And in forgetting how to be ourselves, we loose the opportunity to be the best "self" we can be, one that we could and would acknowledge, even before a divine arbitrator.
So here's to me and to you, let's hope we can say in the end "I was me. "

I Don't Know Whether To Kill Myself Or Go Bowling ~Andrew
Always forgive your enemies - Nothing annoys them so much.
I love deadlines. I especially like the WHOOSHing sound they make as they go flying by.

"I love deadlines. I especially like the WHOOSHing sound they make as they go flying by." That is so, so me, lmv.
More good stuff, there, Gams. Thanks.
And thank you for that lovely story, XV. Hear, hear!
This quote was on a Christmas card I received this year, and was posted on my fridge immediately. You know, I need to take a photo of my fridge and post it here. It's pretty interesting, I must say. Anyway, the author of this quote is "unknown", unfortunately.
"Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."

LMV-hilarious stuff. Really good. Are some of those friends or from media?
XVirgin-I think I am hidden Gaggin Grouching Tiger. I have to work on that as I felt guilty reading your post.
Siren-hey. So, you have a quoting fridge. Now why don't they market that? A fridge that jokes and quotes with you. Hmmm. I have to run to the patent office...
