Do you have a favorite quote or saying? # 2

All right, this is getting "fowl". Insert large groan here. Gram, I admit my previous was a groaner too. There, I think I've settled my tab now.

I was reminded of two more that I have always liked...

Tom Hanks to Geena Davis in A League of their Own, when she wanted to quit baseball because it was too hard.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great."

"We choose to go to the Moon...not because [it] is easy but because [it] is
hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our
energies and skills..."
John F. Kennedy, Address at Rice University, September 1962

Have a great day...I'm getting motivated now, lol!

Yup. It's getting me motivated too...

In which Tom Hanks also said: "There's no crying in baseball!"

LOL!!

"We must be the change we want to see in the world"
Mohandas Gandhi

That is a great quote YC.

"Gardens are a form of autobiography."
Sydney Eddison

Yank, we could all benefit from Gandhi

Dave, I really like that one. It would be a good one to hang in a garden shed (if I had one...sigh...someday)

Oh no - my autobiography is a horror story! I LIKE that quote - inspiration for the ADD gardener.

Just found this this thread, I enjoy all sorts of quotes and with I had thought of some myself. Here are some perhaps one has posted them before:



"Mankind must put an end to wars or war will put an end to mankind".......... John F. Kennedy

" If you're going through hell, keep on going" ........................... Winston Churchill

The boughs of no two trees ever have the same arrangement, nature always produces
individuals................Lydia M. Child

Maria, those are lovely, I'm so glad you you posted them! J.F.K. is a man I have always admired.

I came across a few quotes that struck a few cords in me after the last snowstorm. Here are a couple I wanted to share.

Japanese proverb : One kind word can warm three winter months.

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus (1913 - 1960)

Every mile is two in winter. (ain't that the truth!!)
George Herbert (1593 - 1633),

good ones, pixie

Yeah, good ones!

I had to come back to this thread for this quote by Shakespeare (which also inspired the title of Faulkner's book):
"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player / That struts and frets his hour upon the stage / And then is heard no more. It is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing."

Dave, the Bard was so right.

Men at times are masters of their fate, it is not in our stars
but in ourselves, that we are underlings
