I’m a slacker and can only quote movies (sad, isn’t it?) But here a few of my favorites:

“No matter where you go, there you are.” – Buckaroo Banzai

“Shhh!…you smell something?” – Ghostbusters

“Did you know that BEES can smell fear?” – Jerry Maguire

“What’s ‘taters, precious?” – LOTR The Two Towers

About the only literary quote that comes to mind is from Mark Twain, who says,
“Golf is a beautiful walk, spoiled by a little ball.”
Amen brother Samuel!

One of my all time favorites is by Dr. Phil….”We TEACH people how to treat us…”
AMEN.

“Never make someone a priority who considers you an option” I read it in a magazine a couple of years ago and wish I knew who to attribute it too. But it changed the way I view my relationships. For the better.

Time is the school in which we learn

From one quote lover to another–how cool is it that I discovered your page today? The jewelry? Breathtaking. Your attitude about words and writing and reading? Simpatico!

I’m a huge fan of Thoreau’s Walden so I leave you with this:

Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito’s wing that falls on the rails. Let us rise early and fast, or break fast, gently and without perturbation; let company come and let company go, let the bells ring and the children cry–determined to make a day of it.

Of course I have favorite quotes, and of course I cannot remember a single one of them right now. I’ll be back.

My current fave is:

“The race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep on running.” Author Unknown

But I might change it to Slow Panic’s quote just above…
