GUARANTEED

We say there are no guarantees in life. That is far from the truth. It is guaranteed we will all die. It is guaranteed that, in most parts of the world, we will be somehow taxed. Those guarantees are out of our hands. Yet we may guarantee our fate. It is guaranteed that we will fail if we don't try.... Sign in to see full entry.

FRIENDLY RIVALRIES

A great proportion of the sporting public watched the competition between Nadal and Federer yesterday as they displayed their mastery at Wimbledon. Figuratively speaking, each tried his utmost to beat the other ones brains out. At the conclusion they embraced each other. At the presentation... Sign in to see full entry.

OUR NEIGHBOUR

I have always been inspired by these words. I do not know who wrote them. Yet they remain constant in my mind. Many of you would have read them before; some of you may be seeing them for the first time. For sure, how closely they approximate the admonition: Love thy neighbour as thyself. Together,...

WHY CAN'T I?

"Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once'. "If we fail, we fail. But screw your courage to the sticking place and you'll not fail." What if each day our lives mirror these Shakespeare posits? Wouldn't we all be happy, successful, and at peace with... Sign in to see full entry.

MEMORIAL DAY

In the United States, we are off to ponder the pros and cons of war. We are celebrating Memorial day. Regardless of whether we agree or disagree with the Iraq invasion, let us applaud the troops for what they do. They do not send themselves to war. Whether a war, in our eyes, is just or unjust, they... Sign in to see full entry.

NATURAL HIGHS

Without editing, I pass this on to you. This has been sent to me by a friend. Maybe, she is your friend too. Please make sure you forward this back to me... You'll see why at the end. Think about them one at a time before going on to the next one. It Does Make You Feel Good, especially the thought... Sign in to see full entry.

JUST DO IT

You will never get to the top if you are afraid of heights; you'll never scale the wall if you are afraid you'll fall. Youl'll never win if you are afraid you'll lose; you'll never finish if you are afraid to start. So go on, give up your fears, the self consumed antidote to your success. JUST DO...

HOW POWERFUL IS SHE?

A lady friend just sent this to me. Perhaps you'll find it as hilarious as I have. Can God really be stumped? A man riding his Harley was riding along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, "Because you have tried to be faithful to me...

ENJOY THE DETOUR

How often are we "forced" off the charted route and believe fate is denying us the opportunities to which we are entitled? How often do we chastise others, and ourselves, for not taking a certain route? Yet, how often are we wrong? Nearly always. You see there is a plan somewhere, by someone, or...

LUCK

Luck is not happenstance. It is the outcome of hard work, perseverance, persistence, grit, commonsense, determination, and dedication. I am at the right place at the right time because I have followed my dream and I am always where the action is. Then I learn some things that change my approach and... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

Quotes and sayings that should arouse intellectual curiosity. Quips that underlie all our lives and daily dealings. A quote, or saying, may be mine or any other author whose expression impresses. When it is mine, I will clearly state. If I can identify the author who penned what I say, I will give him, or her, credit. On occasions, when no one is identified, the assumption should be made that such quote is NOT mine.
