"Roots are important but we are not trees, we've got legs and legs are made to walk and go elsewhere."
I like that one, Frances - it's so true!
I heard someone say this the other day and it stuck with me.....
"Everyone makes mistakes; it's what happens next that matters."
That's very true, too, Stevie. I've heard someone say that "The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing."
Great quotes, ladies. I enjoy reading and comtemplating them, but have a difficult time finding them, so I enjoy your hard work. :mrgreen:
"You can't find any true closeness in Hollywood, because everybody does the fake closeness so well." - Carrie Fisher
"We cannot control the evil tongues of others; but a good life enables us to disregard them." - Cato the Elder
"Wise people think all they say; fools say all they think."
LOVE that one,Frances! And,it's so true too!
“As for the future, your task is not to foresee it, but to enable it.” (Antoine de Saint-Exupery)
You are well versed in such great quotes. Nice one, Frances.
One simple phrase I've probably overused lately (in connection with the predicaments of a certain ExHub :wink: ) but genuinely believe in, is....
"What goes around comes around."
"You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time."
Stevie - AMEN!!! And I suppose I shouldn't be so pleased with myself over this, HOWEVER, I have seen this very thing in action against someone who wronged me pretty severely once upon a time. It was, of course, a man and after basically screwing me over - he got his car stolen, broke his arm, got demoted and then eventually lost his job. He was an incredibly evil and wicked human being. So when people think that that doesn't work, I tell them "Trust me, I've seen it work!" :wink:
It does seem to work that way, even if it takes some patience.
.......and time.........tick,tick,tick...
