Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve.... You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

I've read "An elephant is a mouse built to government specifications" which I *think* may have been in one of Heinlein's books :-D I like "Keep Calm and Carry On" and one I seem to find myself using more and more as the kids get bigger is "who ever told you life was fair?"

Sasha, when our sons were small and misbehaved, we'd tell them that we loved them all the time but there were times when we didn't like them, and this was one of them. They got the message! Reply #24. Sep 07 10, 12:57 PM |

There is one quote from the author of '' The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy'',Douglas Adams,that has always stuck in my head,'Human beings who are almost unique in the ability to learn from the experiences of others,are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so".

My mom always said "What goes around comes around". I prefer the Dresden Files version. "What goes around comes around. Sometimes you get what's coming around and sometimes you are what's coming around.' Reply #27. Nov 24 10, 11:02 PM |

My favourite one is used to insult those people who insist on mucking up your day by enforcing regulations or obstructing you via power trips to make their little lives feel a bit less little. "May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits". I also like "Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like bananas," which I think originated from one of the Marx brothers. Reply #28.

"We cannot change the future...but we can modify it..." and "Everything comes to you when its your time." and "Old is Gold but future is Platinum...try to get it" and "When things are rare....we find it more artificial" These are some of the best sayings by my best friends....:) Reply #29.
