I always loved this one. I use it in my tag line on a few boards I hang out on..
People asking questions lost in confusion, Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions Well they shake their heads and look at me as if I've lost my mind...............

Jane…just last night at a meeting one of our local icons Jack Wolf (you might remember him from the walldog thing here) said one I had never heard before.
“He kept his car so clean and polished a fly couldn’t even stand up on it”

That's a great one, Jane. I love quotes too. One of my favorites is Albert Einstein's reply when asked the difference between genius and stupidity: "Genius has its limits."

Some of my favorites: Life is not measured by how many breathes we take, but by how many precious and magical moments we have that take our breathe away.
To the world you might be one person.... but to one person you might be the world.
I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it!
Have a great day!

(about a layout) I have others too, but that is what popped into my head. I even have it as my signature, but I never use that feature anymore. Love....Jill

well, if we are going THAT direction... Be Humble. You're not that great. - Golda Meir Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about. The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act. After your hands become coated with paint, your nose will itch or you will have to pee. If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut her up with cookies.

"He'd take sh!t off of a shovel and it wouldn't even have to be warm!" (again with the father-in-law, about a moocher type person) Sorry this is going downhill, Jane. I will look for proper quotes later. Wait! Here's what I want on my tombstone: "Dead she is not, but departed, for the artist never dies" -Longfellow See? I can be all cultured-like too. Love....Jill

Not a quote but a little song that cheers me up sometimes:
Don’t you mind, People grinnin’ in your face. Don’t mind, People grinnin’ in your face. Your just bear this in mind, A true friend is hard to find. Don’t you mind, People grinnin’ in your face.
You know your mother, Would talk about you. Your own sisters and your brothers, too. They don’t care how you’re tryin’ to live, They’ll talk about you still.
Oh, but bear this in mind, A true friend is hard to find. Don’t you mind, People grinnin’ in your face.
You know they’ll jump, You up and down. They’ll drag you all 'round and 'round. Just as soon as your back is turned, They’ll be tryin’ to crush you down.
Yes, but bear this in mind, A true friend is hard to find. Don’t you mind, People grinnin’ in your face.
-Warren Haynes

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."
When someone asks you, A penny for your thoughts, and you put your two cents in, what happens to the other penny?
If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted?

How about...., Things my look bad now, but they are bound to get worse. The light you see at the end of the tunnel just may be a train coming at you. You can never tell how you stand from where you are sitting. When someone looks down on you, that is when you stop looking up to them. Never miss the opportunity to let someone know how much you admire what they do, and watch them smile.
