Quote of the Day
Today on my iGoogle, this was one of the Google Quote of the Day.
"To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost."
- Gustave Flaubert

Re: Quote of the Day
Yes!!
Lol, I love that one.
I get the same quotes of the day.
Is this a quote-posting thread? If so...
"Lying in bed would be an altogether perfect and supreme experience if only one had a colored pencil long enough to draw on the ceiling."
-G.K. Chesterton

Re: Quote of the Day
Here's for those who are in love with their spouses. (Like me)
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments.
Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
Oh no! It is an ever-fixèd mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken.
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Shakespeare, sonnet 116

 that is my favorite sonnet  I used to have part of that in my signature.
Here's mine after spending too much time in L&S
In religion and politics people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing. - Mark Twain

I like that...and well worth keeping in mind.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Neither do I, but Nietzshe should have kept in mind what Georges (?) Santayana said: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Re: Quote of the Day
The Catholic Sun
by Hilaire Belloc
Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,
There’s laughter and dancing and good red wine.
At least I’ve always found it so.
Benedicamus Domino!

Re: Quote of the Day
Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

Re: Quote of the Day
I'm not quite sure I get the analogy in this quote.
"Life... is like a grapefruit. It's orange and squishy, and has a few pips in it, and some folks have half a one for breakfast."
- Douglas Adams
Anyone here know of any folks that have half a life for breakfast?
