quote of the day

Post: # 52243Post Andy Hamilton »

For all you high brow people out there, how about a quote of the day to complement the joke of the day? Perhaps we don't have to follow on with a subject and just have some good quotes that you have heard.

I like this one from Albert Einstein

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
First we sow the seeds, nature grows the seeds then we eat the seeds. Neil Pye

In life - as in Bridge - we win more by favours than tricks!!!

Another I love - I think by Einstein -

The only stupid question is the one you didn't ask
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!
Edward Monkton

This is on a serious note:

"The man that hat no music in himself,
nor is not moved by sweet sounds
Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as erebus.
Let no such man be trusted'

Thankyou.

Can't remember where i got it from, but i decided that as the last one died in the server switch, it was time for a new one!

I was going to change it again, i've got a few pics that i like, but i think sparkly fairy will be staying for a while now.

I am in favour of self reliance - especially if it prevents people from relying on me.
