If you want something, anything done right, do it yourself!
Its the little things that do matter!
A beautiful looking coin Paradisefound, again, thank you for the opportunity to get such a nice looking coin from you. And it is nice to see all of these wisdom quotes as well.
Now this is a great thread/giveaway. Your are a sweetheart for doing this and some wonderful stuff here to read. I applaud you my coin sister. YOU have a good heart.
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
Theodore Roosevelt
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Not exactly a "wisdom" quote but I just recently came across this and was struck by its imagery.
"It wasn't that today was any finer then than it is now, it's perhaps that tomorrow seemed vaster; everybody knows that growing up is the process of pinching off the buds of tomorrow."
John Dos Passos
OK, I've posted one quote, but I just ran across this one and can't resist:
"To succeed in life, you need three bones-- a wishbone, a backbone, and a funny bone."
--Dr Ted Parks, orthopedic surgeon
I've already posted, but here is a multi-entry, all from one of my favorite TV shows ("Futurama").
Professor (looking upwards at Fry standing over him): "Fry, you have a dime up your nose".
Fry: "I wish ! Its a nickel !"
Zap Branigan: "If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate !".
Calculon (with a blank and puzzled look on his face while watching Bender get up and dance and act out on his hospital bed):
"I'm not familiar with the type of thing I'm seeing."
Zap Branigan (while watching some event and not paying any attention to the adjacent person talking to him):
"uh-ha ... uh-ha ... well, that's what ever you were talking about for 'ya".
The only people who don't make mistakes are people who don't do anything.
The only constant is change.
Life is a math problem.
The grass is green on all sides of the fence. (my version)
If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.
