I was reading one of my old MAD magazines and there was a big party with all these different cartoon charecters and celebrities and I think it was Woody Allen who said,"I'm enjoying myself...I'm really enjoying myself it must be the security of talking inside of a bubble for a change". lol I thought it was funny anyway
Anybody got any more or favourite quotes? |

I found that humerous but then I do almost all of Woody Allan stuff.
In real life he is a fully fledged neurotic and so am I but that is the where the comparison ends. lol.
I also found that quote informative for I believe we all live at times cocooned in a bubble of our own making in order to feel secure Mike!
Cheers for sharing that with us, David

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
Rudyard Kipling
Friendship is the greatest gift all...
methinks! |

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies
