Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor in the morning the devil says "oh crap she's up'

Not my circus, not my monkeys

No idea of the providence of any of them

There are few people whom I really love, and even fewer of whom I think well - jane Austen (sums up the preciousness of true connection and friendship for me)

Nothing lasts forever

True love never dies

Keep your heels, head & standards high.

Oh and...

Make friends with your enemies they'll hate it.

Saw this on Mumsnet and thought it was great.
"Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid"

I think our educational system can do that to children.

Not uplifting in any way but they make me laugh...

What is life? Is it nothing more than the endless search for a cutie mark? And what is a cutie mark but a constant reminder that we're all only one bugbear attack away from oblivion? And what of the poor gator? Flank forever blank, destined to an existential swim down the river of life to... an unknowable destiny? - Gummy

Joan Collins when asked, yet again, if she was concerned about the 32 year age gap between her and her husband Percy Gibson,
‘If he dies, he dies......’

Zsa Zsa Gabor,
‘I’m a marvellous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man, I keep the house.’

Dolly Parton, when asked how long it takes to do her hair,
‘Oh people always ask me how long it takes to do my hair! I don’t know. I’m never there.’

So many excquotes from strong women, lots that are inspirational but, I like the funny ones the most!

Someone wrote on a thread once

To be early is to be on time, to be on time is late and to be late is unacceptable.

Really stuck with me

I'm not upset that you've lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't trust you.

Ouch...
