I was looking over the 'Members Only Area' and, imo, there is way too much gibberish and arguing about religion/politics/etc. and not one of us are completely right or wrong, so let's just move on, okay? Okay!

I'm starting a new thread after having many lengthy discussions with Jerry (stillfingers) about our mutual love for words and the emotions they evoke within us. I'm always online looking for interesting quotes, words, sayings, lyrics, and I've found a lot of things that either make me smile, laugh, sad, or think. So in this thread I'd like to share with you some of my findings! With a possible bit or rambling along with them if I feel the need.

Feel free to join in and reply with some of your favourite words/quotes/lyrics, everyone is welcome!

I will start off with this:

As I've aged, living now, in the positive, has become one of the best choices I've made. Here are some thoughts that I've incorporated into life, not always succeeding, as I struggle to find personal truths and happiness. Thanks for starting this thread Jen :specool:


Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviors. Keep your behaviors positive because your behaviors become your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.

The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours


The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours


A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause


For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours
And yours

I use it for my husband and children when I want them to know how special they are to me.

Be aware that what you chase may not be worth catching
If you cheat for it, you will come to resent it
If you steal it, it will haunt you
What you work hard for may become the sweetest thing in life...

I learned the hard way.

Never take life too seriously. No one gets out alive, anyway.
- learn from the past, live for the present and hope for the future.
- you were only given this life because you're stong enough to live it.

I'm bolding my favourite lines out of this song I dearly love.

A Beautiful Mess - Jason Mraz

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language,
And shoddy cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
that this is just what happiness is

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging


And what a beautiful mess, yes it is
It's like picking up trash in dresses


Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt

Cause here, here we are, Here we are
Here we are

We're still here
What a beautiful mess, this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is "Yes"

Through, timeless words and priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds not of this earth

And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together

And we, tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But its nice today. Oh the way it was so worth it.

My mother-in-laws favorite sayings when some one got on her nerves was " God doesn't pay his debts in kind" and " What goes around - comes around " I find the latter to be very true.

My Father - in - laws favorite line when you'd say ' I wish I had.....! was. You can wish in one hand and shit in the other, and you which one will get full first !"

I truely love his wisdom.
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

For the best qoutes, just ask Archie Bunker;

"There's plenty of fish in the woodpile"
"I musta died and gone to the wrong place. 'Cause yas all sure sound like hell"
"Well in the words of Harry S. Truman, if it's too hot in the kitchen, stay away from the cook"
"Robin Hood was an English fag! That's why the sheriff run him into the woods"
"You are a MEATHEAD. As in Meathead... dead from the neck up"
"You can't really buy beer... you can only rent it"
"Everyone I like stays the hell away from me"
"Three Men in a Tub, they had a water shortage in them days. So everything in Fairyland was in threes, you know, except the dwarfs. There was seven of them 'cause they was little and the wolf was after them so the wolf came running after them and boy he had one hell of a breath. He blew down their house and they had to find another joint so they run through the woods and they run into Goldilocks and she took them all in to live with her and there's nothin' wrong with that because she was a nice girl and they're old anyway. So they got another house but the wolf came along and blew that one down too so then they run through the woods again and they come to a brick house and that belonged to Disney so they all moved in there and started working for him."
"London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down. London Bridge is falling down, the Limeys built it wrong"
"Whatever happened to the good old days when kids was scared to death of their parents?"
"A four letter Italian word for 'goodbye'. Bang. B-A-N-G"
"I got bigger fish to fly"
"Ha ha ha. Oh that Dennis. He really is a menace. Such a rotten kid I love him"
"We lost a daughter but gained a meathead"
"Don't talk to strangers unless you know them very well"
"California is full of nuts and fruits. Every fruit is a little nutty and every nut is a little fruity"
"What has hate got to do with this, you dumb Polack?"
"He's a strong kid there, this morning he bit right through a nipple. Luckily it was on a bottle or he could've hurt someone in the family"
"When a plumber's business goes into the toilet you're sitting pretty"
"When you're older, I'll be telling you fairy stories. No, not about them people"
"Silence is golden, so stifle thy self"
"I hate entertainment. Entertainment is a thing of the past, now we got television"
"You gotta grab the bull by the corns"
"If I was the last man on Earth and you was the last woman, I would go to bed with a bush"
"You know the story about Noah's Ark there, don't you? You know how the animals come up the gangplank there and into the ark. They came in twos: the sames with the sames and the differents with the differents. The tiger come up with the tigeress, the lion, he came up with the lioness. The zebra, he come up with the zebraella and the elephant, he came up with the... Uh... What? Geez, I forget the term. You know, the point I'm trying to make is the elephant didn't come walking up there with a Polack"
"Well, I remember one winter during the Depression when we didn't have any money because my father lost his job, we was all bust. And I wore out a shoe. One shoe. So I couldn't go to school with only one shoe. But my mother found a boot, so I had a shoe on one foot there and a boot on the other. A shoe and a boot. So the kids call me 'Shoebootie'. They used to holler, "Tutti fruitti, here comes Shoebootie." They called me that until they learned my name was Archibald and they thought that was funny. And then I wished they'd go back to 'Shoebootie'. "
"He took a jawbone from the grass and slew the Palistine army"
"We was like two ships that clashed in the night"
"You'd better start mixing toothpaste with your shampoo. You're getting a cavity in your brain"
"All over the world they celebrate the birth of that baby, and everybody gets time off from work. Now if that ain't proof that he's the Son of God, then nothing is"
"He ain't been the same since he had that vassexomy"
"She ain't gonna saying nothing more because the smoke has given her an attack of, what do you call, laryngosis"
"Just like that Ralph Nader, you're giving the whole country a pain in the butt"
"God can do anything! He can turn your jawbone into an ass!"
"God don't make no mistakes, that's how He got to be God"
"Why don't you go take a short walk on a long pier?"
"You're a regular Edgar Allen Polack"
"If my dead father was alive to hear that, it would kill him"
"Now don't go telling Lionel! He'll get on his tom-tom and alert all the other jungle bunnies"
"Like the Good Book says, 'Let him who is without sin... be the rollin' stone'."

And my personal favorite;

"Meathead, I never thought I'd be saying this, but YOU'RE too good for HER!"
