A bird in the hand gets poop on it 🙂
from Forrest Gump, “Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”
Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.
Instead of putting makeup on the outside, try to make the inside prettier.
I need to go make some tuna fish and noodles.
A rolling stone can crush your foot
I need to get myself dinner also. Maybe while I am out some words of wisdom will come to me. 🙂
its always gets worst before it gets better
Size of package does not indicate quality within
There are no bad dogs, just bad owners.
If you give him an inch, he’ll take a mile.
keep your friends close and enemies closer
A Rolling Stone gathers no music?
Humor is a universal language.
We are supposed to make up our own.
The Procrastinator’s Creed:
1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.
2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.
3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.
4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.
5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.
6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.
7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesmally small, is not exactly zero.
8. If at first I don’t succeed, there is always next year.
9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.
10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.
11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.
12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.
13. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.
14. I will become a member of the ancient Order of Two-Headed Turtles (the Procrastinator’s Society) if they ever get it organized.
Beggars can’t be choosers. 😀
Better the devil you know (than the one you don’t). 😀
The beauty of the world has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder
Buy the best and you only cry once
A dull pencil is greater than the sharpest memory 😀
Something like:
Keep your enemas close and your friends will go further away.
Everything is changing. People are taking the comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke
If it’s too good to be true, then it probably is 😀
And that is the darn truth, Kimber!
Joy is the best makeup.
He who dies with the most toys wins…nothing
People see you as an object, not as a person, and they project a set of expectations onto you. People who don’t have it think beauty is a blessing, but actually it sets you apart
Do unto others then run
When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.
‘Never talk to strangers, for indeed, then strangers will talk to you.’
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched … but are felt in the heart.
‘if the lifts broken – take the stairs’
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
‘Ideas come from the mind, feelings come from the heart.’

Truth, and goodness, and beauty are but different faces of the same all
Gold there is, and rubies in abundance, but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.
Nothing is more the child of art than a garden.
Always be willing to be a teacher – because the gift of knowledge you share will impact the lives of those you encounter
when its smokin’ its cookin , when its burnin its done
Oh, this is the joy of the rose: / That it blows, / And goes.
That’s real cute, Clare. Have you seen Beth’s? Suzanne and Grant posted them on their site.
“Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles, it empties today of its strength”
A bicycle can’t stand on its own because it’s two-tired.
Take time to smell the liver cooking. If you don’t, it may become like leather.
“The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all of your money”
Sex appeal is fifty percent what you’ve got and fifty percent what people think you’ve got
if your work is the same as your hobby, you have no life
If you make sure you have clean underwear on when you go out, as mom used to always tell us to do, you probably will end up having to go to the hospital. That’s fate!
