All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Time flies like an arrow.
Fruit flies like a banana.

Groucho Marx.

DJKKSlider who is E Hitler???? Are they related to A Hitler????

I've got soooooo many...

You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

You can't change other people, you can only change yourself.

The behaviour you comment on is the behaviour you're likely to get (parenting!)

and I love this poem...

And This Too Will Pass

It is said with a gaze as steady as sky
wispy and wavy but never a lie
It is said with a smile small or unseen
careful and quiet for all that has been

when trouble crashes over you
when hardship cracks the ground
when pain pierces past your skin
when walls are your surround
stop
take a breath and remember
this too shall pass

when joy makes you giddy
when brightest blinds your gaze
when pride holds you up above
when easiness lets you laze
stop
take a breath and remember
this too shall pass

treasure every moment
learn from every pain
gather in your memories
they are what you truly gain
live every second
love with all your heart
never give in or give up
embrace every new start

everything is precious
all of life is glorious
because
this too shall pass

You can't polish a turd.

But you can roll it in glitter.

DJKKSlider who is E Hitler???? Are they related to A Hitler????

Adolf?

That's his mum.

E.Hitler is Edward Elizabeth Hitler as played by Adrian Edmondson in the TV show Bottom opposite the legendary Rik Mayal as Richard "Richie" Richards.

S.S.D.D.

Love that sotired.

When life gives you lemons be glad it wasn't herpies.

'In this life of froth and bubble, two things stand like stone -
Kindness in another's trouble, courage in ones own'

I don't know who it's by though.

'You can't live cheap and you can't live for nothing. Pay the price and be proud that you've paid it, that's what I reckon.'

From a book I read long ago

I didn't know about zombie FiveShelties. That's sad news.

DJKKSlider Shit.... I thought I knew all the scripts! Smite me down for my ignorance.

Assumption is the Mother of all fuck ups

Lead me not into temptation... Hell who am I kidding-follow me, I know a shortcut.

"Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones shines down to let us know they are happy"

These ☺️

It's a bit over used & everywhere now, but it wasn't the first time I heard it which was a little while after my Dad died, it helped...a bit.

Just loving these...some new to me and some hilarious!

"Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal expression" - not entirely sure who to credit this one to.

"I hate quotations, tell me what you know" - Ralph Waldo Emerson.

'Whatever comes," she said, "cannot alter one thing. If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess inside. It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it.'

From A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burdett. I loved it since I was a little girl but as I've got older this quote has taken on special meaning. It reminds me never to let shitty circumstances change who you are, and to always remember what you are worth. It's got me through some crap times.

'There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in' Leonard Cohen

It's not word for word and I can't remember where I read it but think it's Dickens:

And so it is, that all the greatness and littleness of the world lies in the twinkling of a star.

Very humbling.

I love this one.

This too shall pass

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars."
