"Never bear more than one trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds - all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have." - Edward Everett Hale

Really!?! and how does - insulting, offensive,looking down your nose, pompus, arrogant, self-important, greater than thou, and just simply rude, sound to you? I was enjoying the quotes until you had to go and ruin it with you condescending quotes. Get a life!

I assume you weren't talking to me Ggi!?

Sorry clicked on the wrong thread, it was really meant for Ipso facto.

Gee, all I wanted to do was to see what sort of fun we could have here...

Maria,

We all knew the fun wouldn't last forever! And since this is a quote thread, the previous posts remind me of the phrase "Plays Well With Others!" Obviously it does not apply to all BOLers.

"Can't we all just get along?"

It WAS fun! I enjoyed most of the quotes. I always enjoy your posts. By the way all, I am really registered, but for some reason I am having trouble posting with my post- name. One day I'll take the time to fix it.
Love the this thread.

"Please! Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion! Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who."

Some Southern sayings
Don't worry bout the mule being poor, just load the wagon. - unknown.
Get yore head up mule, we're going to the pea patch. -unkown.
First one reminds me of my day, sometimes.

To comply or not to comply...
That is the question...
Whether tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous examiners...
Or to play ignorant against a sea of board members...
And by failing, end your employment...
To comply, to compliance...
To Compliance - perchance to have BOL reliance - ay there's the rub!

WOW, bankguy are you O.K.? Don't go mental on us at the water cooler! Does this mean that we are no longer friends, no more private mail with your personal view of my world?

Here's a quote just for you:

FEAR LESS, HOPE MORE;

EAT LESS, CHEW MORE;

WHINE LESS, BREATHE MORE;

TALK LESS, SAY MORE;

HATE LESS, LOVE MORE;

AND ALL GOOD THINGS

ARE YOURS.

— Swedish Proverb

When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, you think it's only a minute.
But when you sit on a hot stove for a minute, you think it's two hours.
That's relativity.
