I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.
Martha Washington
for one word a man is often deemed to be wise,and for one word he is often deemed to be foolish . we ought to be careful, indeed, what we say.

Stephen Hawking
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.
Ayn Rand
It doesn't matter how you play the game. It's whether you win or lose.
I think that it's important for scientists to explain their work, particularly in cosmology. This now answers many questions once asked of religion.
Stephen Hawking

Confucius Say "Virginity like bubble, one prick all gone".
He also said, "Man with hand in pocket, feel cocky all day".
And "Woman who fly plane upside down, have big hairy crack up!"
Confucius Say "Boy that go to bed with itchy bottom, wake up with stinky fingers"
Hahahahahaha...unless boy wearing rubber gloves.
“I just broke up with someone and the last thing she said to me was "You'll never find anyone like me again!" I'm thinking, "I should hope not! If I don't want you, why would I want someone like you."”
Hokey
These are just silly and I have no idea where they come from but:
'On the road of life there are many flat squirrels who couldn't make up their minds.'
'Before you insult someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes!'
That squirrel quote is fabulous. I don't like squirrels and I'm indecisive, so maybe this will help.
I thought I already posted this, but it's no longer on the thread, so here goes:
"It is warmer in the summer than it is in the mountains."
