HERE ARE 7 THAT YOU CAN ADD TO YOUR LIST

Regret for the past is a waste of the spirit

Life is not a Dress Rehearsal

Time lost is never found again

Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today

An apple a day keeps the doctor away

There is no love like a Mother's love

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer

I'd check out these:

www.wisdomquotes.com



here's a couple of my favorites:



Let no one come to you without leaving better and happier - Mother Teresa



If you should go skating on the thin ice of modern life, dragging behind you the silent reproach of a million tear-stained eyes, don't be surprised when a crack in the ice appears under your feet. - Pink Floyd, The Thin Ice



When you sell a man a book, you don't sell him 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life.

Here are a few I really like.



"We're all in this together -- by ourselves." and



"It's gonna get worse before it gets worse."

(both by comedian/actor Lily Tomlin)



"Inside every older person is a younger person wondering: what the f**k happened!"

(comedian Jennifer Unlimited)



"The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it."

(Chinese proverb)



"Question: How many surrealists does it take to wish you a Happy Birthday?"

"Answer: Fish."

(on a greeting card by 78th Street)



And, finally, from that famous quoter Anonymous:

"Work as if you don't need the money, love as if you've never been hurt and dance as if nobody's watching."

this isn't really a quote, but it is two stanza from Dante's Inferno translated by Allen Mandelbaum. i always loved these poetic and flowing lines:

"Now you must cast aside your laziness,"

my master said, "for he who rests on down

or under covers cannot come to fame;



and he who spends his life without renown

leaves such a vestige of himself on earth

as smoke bequeaths to air or foam to water.."



so there ya go. hope you can use it. :)

“Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us. " Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"Whoever wishes to keep a secret must hide the fact that he possesses one. " Johann Wolfgang von Goethe



also look for quotes by Will Rogers and others

The problem with some people is that when they aren't drunk, they're sober..



It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens..
