CULTURE/SOCIETY: Five Quotes I Picked From A Site

Still having internet problems, so don't expect too much blogging from me for a while. I still try to keep up with my Twitter page though!

I got this from rosepurr at Raggedy Ann in a Barbie Doll World. - OlderMusicGeek

Go to this site and find five quotes that resonate with you by either reflecting who you are or what you believe.

The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910), What Is Man? (1906) (Got to love that Mark Twain! - OMGeek)

Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow.
Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) (Oscar Wilde is no slouch either! - OMGeek)

Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do, and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.
George S. Patton (1885 - 1945)

Stupid people always think they are right. Wise people listen to advice.
Proverbs 12:15 (Surprise, surprise, I'm using a Bible quote! It's a miracle. :) - OMGeek)

Even on the most exalted throne in the world we are only sitting on our own bottom.
Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592)

CULTURE/SOCIETY: A New Year's Wish

My co-worker, who I call The Older Formerly Wild Still Non-Christian Co-Worker, gives out her New Year's wish every year. And it's so good that I'm regifting it. :) - OlderMusicGeek

A New Year's Wish

A few friends who understand
and yet remain friends,

A work to do which has real value,
without which the world
would feel the poorer...

To always remember we make a living by what we get;
We make a life by what we give.

A mind unafraid to travel,
even though the trail be not blazed.

An understanding heart...

A sense of humor...

Time for quiet, silent meditation and Grace.

To live that at least a few will thank God that I was here
when my little day is done.

And the patience to wait for the coming of these things,
with the wisdom to know them when they come.

This is my Wish for you!
