Quotes to think about...

pk · 04-21-2007, 09:51 PM

I noticed that most of us like the daffynitions and read the different one everyday that comes up on the bubbler. It made me think that perhaps a place to put additional thought provoking quotes, or funny quotes, or have a place to post 'tips' for today, could be fun to share.

Maybe you remember a saying you heard alot while you were growing up from a parent, or grandparent, teacher? Or maybe you read a good Church sign lately? Let's post them here and see what everyone can come up with. :lol:

(please try to include the name of the person that made the quote if you find it on the web).

Here's one that I remember hearing years ago:

"When a job is once begun,

never leave it 'til it's done,

be the labor--great or small,

do it well, or not at all."

When I was young I always heard my mother saying:

We use to always get canned peas on our plate and I hated canned peas! I use to do everything to hide them from putting them under my mashed potatoes to rolling them down my leg to our standard poodle to eat. lol Except I would get caught with a pile of peas on the floor since our dog hated them too!

I think that is when I would get told how we should eat our veggies to grow up big and strong! lol I could never see how little green nasty peas was going to help me do anything! lol

The next one would be...

"Clean your plate there are straving kids in Africa, or China, or somewhere far away!"

I don't know about anyone else, but I would love to give those straving kids my canned peas!

"Any half-awake materialist well knows- that which you hold holds you." -Tom Robbins

Yeah...I pondered that one as I signed the closing docs for my house. It hasn't left me since! Its like, "Damnit, he told me so!"

And for good measure, here's another favo that I didn't here until perhaps too late:

"When they tell you to grow up, they really mean stop growing."

That's fascinating. Really an interesting way of looking at it.

Borrowed this from Foragist's Forum signature:

Quote:

I am a man...and I can change...if I have to...I guess. Amen. (man prayer from RED GREEN show)

If you haven't tuned into PBS lately, find your TV guide and TIVO the Red Green Show!!!!

Peace in the World

"If there is light in the soul,
There will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person,
There will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the house,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world."

~Chinese Proverb
