The day I felt that political satire had finally become obsolete was the day that Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. (Tom Lehrer, political satyist, humourist and singer-songwriter)

 

 

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. Winston Churchill

I was asked what I thought about the recession. I thought about it and decided I did not want to take part. Sam Walton - US retailer 

 

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. Mark Twain

If I had my life to live over, I’d dare to make more mistakes next time. I’d relax; I’d limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I’d have fewer imaginary ones.

You see, I’m one of those people who lived sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I’d have more of them. In fact, I’d try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after the other, instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I’ve been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I had it to do over again, I would travel lighter than I have.

If I had my life to live over again, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dance; I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.

Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out. Oliver Wendell Holmes

You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want. Zig Ziglar

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. Soren Kierkegaard

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. Martin Luther King, Jr

Love doesn’t make the world go ’round; love is what makes the ride worthwhile. Franklin P. Jones
