Crowds of people, my idea of hell would be a huge gathering of any sort!

Heights, scare me to death!
Liars, cheats. poseurs, any kind of violence, thieves and people who take advantage of others.

The way the world is going to hell in a handbasket.

Global warming, the melting ice caps, whaling..I mean what for?!

Cruelty

Having to give up my eat everything philosophy..and I really really dislike consequences.
My browser has a quote thingy for each day and sometimes they are wonderful. I love this one and am going to take it on board. I open my mouth way too often and out comes the wrong thing. :rolleyes:

"A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you're in deep water." Sidney Goff

Yep.

Michael Gove and his insane educational? policies!
Love it! How about never attribute to malice that which may be attributed to human stupidity.
I used to work in an office and someone on e sent me some spoof inspirational posters. They were wonderful.

Here's the quote on my page for today:

"The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat." Lily Tomlin

Yes, I can relate to that, I have known a few of them! :)

I'm a fan of Chinese Proverbs, there's so many to choose from but here are some of my favourites:

He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.

To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.

A book tightly shut is but a block of paper.

Dig the well before you are thirsty.

Deep doubts, deep wisdom; small doubts, little wisdom.

A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.

Dictators who positively go out of their way to force misery, tears and fears, upon their countryman's lives.
Politicians who, in dealing with dictators, have a wishbone where a backbone should be.
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

Today's is:

"Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs." Henry Ford

Probably true, small goals are achievable, it's when i only look at the big picture that I panic!

i am a fan of sayings, mainly because they are short and easy to read lol but i like the ones that make me think, then smile, this is my current favourite, albert einstein is credited with saying it....

Everybody is a Genius. But If You Judge a Fish by Its Ability to Climb a Tree, It Will Live Its Whole Life Believing that It is Stupid.

Who said anything about good. There are far more negative sayings/quotes to point out failings to try and help others.

Here are 2 quotes that seem to go together. The first by Woody Allen and the second by Aristotle some years earlier

How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?

The gods too are fond of a joke.

For me, a saying will work depending on what stage of my life I am at. Sometimes I really need sympathy and understanding and other times a swift kick up the bum is the only thing that will work. Just lately, it's the kick thing that I have needed :)

"Whatever floats your boat" :happy:
