Post a quote me hearty's!

[D.Patrick Burke]

My advice to you concerning applause is this:

Enjoy it, but never quite believe it.

Samuel Lover

[BriarRose Kildare]

“Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live.”

Socrates

Oh, by the way, D. Patrick Burke, I really like you avatar. I love that game, Alice. And the Cheshire Cat is one of my favorites.

[D.Patrick Burke]

‘Well, then,’ the Cat went on, ‘you see a dog growls when it’s angry, and wags its tail when it’s pleased. Now I growl when I’m pleased, and wag my tail when I’m angry. Therefore I’m mad.’

The Cheshire Cat~Lewis Carroll

[BriarRose Kildare]

BriarRose claps her hands in glee over D. Patrick Burkes quote and picture.

She does a little dance and then states this quote from Alice in Wonderland:

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?”

and another:

One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. "Which road do I take?" she asked. "Where do you want to go?" was his response. "I don't know," Alice answered. "Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."

and:

"But I don't want to go among mad people," said Alice. "Oh, you can't help that," said the cat. "We're all mad here."

Lewis Carroll

(Thanks, you made my day D. Patrick Burke.)

'Curiouser and curiouser!' cried Alice.

'But then,' thought Alice. 'shall I never get any older than I am now? That'll be a comfort, one way--never to be an old woman--but then--always to have lessons to learn!'

`Who are YOU?' said the Caterpillar.

This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'

`Now, I give you fair warning,' shouted the Queen, stamping on the ground as she spoke; `either you or your head must be off, and that in about half no time! Take your choice!'

A spark has often kindled a great fire.

Old Irish Proverb

[Red Cat Jenny]

Nothing will compare with the early breaking of day upon the wide ocean.

Richard Henry Dana

from Two Years Before the Mast, 1840

[D.Patrick Burke]

There are in every generation those who shrink from the ultimate sacrifice, but there are in every generation those who make it with joy and laughter and these are the salt of the generations.

Sorry, it just seem to fit in with the above quotes.

[D.Patrick Burke]

Life springs from death; and from the graves of patriotic men and women springs living nations.

“Good men bent on doing good must learn how to be bad.”

~ Niccolò Machiavelli

Think about it...

[Red Cat Jenny]

Once upon a time there was a piece of wood. It was not an expensive piece of wood. Far from it. Just a common block of firewood, one of those thick, solid logs that are put on the fire in winter to make cold rooms cozy and warm.

~Carlo Collodi

"Aaaargh... here be ter excess......."

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.

~Benjamin Franklin

The Old Year has gone. Let the dead past bury its own dead. The New Year has taken possession of the clock of time. All hail the duties and possibilities of the coming twelve months!

~Edward Payson Powell

New Year's Day is every man's birthday.

~Charles Lamb

[LongTom]

"...for he was wise enough to know that nothing ever happened on this globe, for good, at which some people did not have their fill of laughter in the outset; and knowing that such as these would be blind anyway, he thought it quite as well that they should wrinkle up their eyes in grins, as have the malady in less attractive forms. His own heart laughed: and that was enough for him."

Irish Toast:

In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, never in want.

[Red Cat Jenny]

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

[Hester]

There is a dance hall in Maradyke,

Where my love goes, most every night.

He takes a strange girl upon his knee,

And don't you know, now, it vexes me!

And still she cried: "I love him the best!

But a troubled mind, sure, can know no rest."

And still she cried: "Bonny boys are few!

And if my love leaves me, what will I do?"

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be

a hundred minus one day,

so I never have to live without you."

When I am with out you the days are so much longer and the nights so much colder.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray, you'll never know dear how much I love you, please don't take your sunshine away.
