Just because you see two eyes shining in the jungle at night, do not think that the worse thing that could happen is that you are about to be attacked by a tiger. It could be two one-eyed tigers.

Re: Quotes
There is enough in the world for everyone's need, not everyone's greed. Gandi.
The Dali Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about his future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

Has anyone seen the plot, I seem to have lost mine?

Re: Quotes
I do like the quote of Dorothy Parker when responding to a telegraph from her Editor asking why she hadn't submitted her column on time. It read "I've been too f****ing busy and vice a versa"

Re: Quotes
I love William Morris's:
'Have only those things in your home that you know to be useful or percieve to be beautiful'
I also like: 'fighting for peace is like copulating for virginity' *(cleaned up for a family audience!)

Re: Quotes
I live by Miss Piggy's sensible eating advice:
"Never eat more than you can lift"
But I also like the saying 'feel the fear and do it anyway' at the moment.
