Quote

Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time. ~Laura Ingalls Wilder

I just love that quote, Rhonda.

I was thinking about this, and I thought it'd be kind of neat to start a thread where everyone posted their favorite quotes. they can be funny, or inspirational, as long as you like them!

some of my favorite quotes are:


"The Only Thing We Have To Fear Is Fear Itself"- Franklin Delano Roosevelt

"Always Remember, a cat looks down on a man, a dog looks up to a man, but a pig will look a man straight in the eye and see his equal"- Winston Churchill

"Forget, Regret, because life is yours to miss"- Rent

"Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder"- Unknown

Here is the link to a thread full of quotes.

Quotes

Two of mine.......

"I feel that if you don't use the gifts you've been given, your time on earth has been wasted."

- Stepfanie Kramer
--------

"If you can't be good, be good at it."

I've learned that there's a country song by Neil McCoy (I think) with it as the title. I've been into using this quote long before the song, I'm sure. I was using it in college....about 20 years ago.

I liked that first quote in the thread Rhonda!

Quote of the Day
"Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it and I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: hard work — and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't."
– Lucille Ball


About Lucille Ball
Lucille Ball, the beloved redheaded comedian, was born in 1911 in New York. She enrolled in drama school — where she was told she had no acting talent, so she became a model. That career led to her discovery by Hollywood. Ball and her bandleader husband, Desi Arnaz, pitched a sitcom to CBS, which refused it, but they went on the road with it as a vaudeville act. The act — about a ditzy housewife and her bandleader husband — was a success, as was the ensuing TV show, I Love Lucy. The show made TV history when Lucy's sitcom character was pregnant on the air. She died in 1989.

Quote of the Day

"We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it."
– Abraham Lincoln


About Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln, the American president remembered as Honest Abe, is renowned for his strong leadership during the Civil War and for ending slavery in the United States. He was born in a Kentucky cabin in 1809. He taught himself law and passed the Illinois bar in 1837, the same year he first spoke out against slavery. The Southern states seceded in response to his election to the presidency in 1860. Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, mere days after General Robert E. Lee surrendered to end the war.

"always treat people the same why you want to be treated"
