Quotations

Post by HEPZIBAH »

'Some people are so poor all they have is money.'

I've just come across the above quotation, although sadly I don't know where it originated from. I thought it quite profound and fitted my thoughts about something else I'd just read about (but was far better expressed than I could have done).

Do you have a favourite quotation?


Image Experience is not what happens to you;
it is what you do with what happens to you.

The quote is usually attributed to Patrick Meagher.

That just made me giggle as it fits in so well with what I was thinking with regard to certain forum membership behaviour patterns.

Which woman is that? Something about a horse and carriage? No. That involved love.

"Alter your stride to meet a stranger"

Often I sit in different parts of my house to gain inspiration for that area.
I've been ill for 4 days and thoroughly enjoying it.
The bedroom I usually only frequent at night time, twixt the bedroom & bathroom is the BBQ area.
I cleaned it from top to bottom and decided to make a few changes.

I altered my stride, got the wi-fi into the bedroom, fixed the BBQ fridge and washed down the 2nd wet room.
Great fun, cut down the fags ate loads of honey & chicken broth, still feel ill, but what the hell ?
So try "altering your stride to meet a stranger".... :cool:
