"If you think the way you've always thought, you'll get the things you always got"
-Unknown-

"A brittle bow, a burning fire,
a gaping wolf, a grunting sow,
a croaking crow, a kettle boiling,
a rising sea, a rootless tree.

A flying dart, a foamy billow
ice one night old, a coiled up adder,
a womans bed talk, a broken blade,
the play of cubs, a kings promise,

Thy brothers banesman, though it be on the road,
a half burned house, a speedy horse -
worthless the steed if one foot he breaks,
so trusting be no one, to trust in these."
-Havamal-

"For Buckskinners, all things are possibles." - Me-

"Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?" - Unknown-

"Indians? What indians?" - Gen. George Custer-

“In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce and brave man, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.”


- Mark Twain


"Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put water into a teapot, and it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash! Be water, my friend."


- Bruce Lee



- The Ranger

• When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and take the step into the darkness of the unknown, we must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for us to stand on or we will be taught to fly.
--Patrick Overton

• Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate -
our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?"

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
- Marianne Williamson

• Blow and you can extinguish a fire.
Blow and you can make a fire.
-Zen koan

*chucklez* i have always liked that. I do not actually know who did this one, but i have seen it on a few t-shirts and i WANT one.

"No pain..No date"

Here are a few more i enjoy....

"If a Man has no Humility, He needs more Fear"

"The abandonment of control given by a woman of strength, is one of Man's most intense pleasures"

"I have often been told: "The Universe does not revolve around you" never the less, it's a viable theory until someone proves it wrong"

"If you think the way to a Man's heart is through his stomach...You're Aiming to high"

"In their spare time, Mensan love nothing better than to play with anagrams and palindromes, clerihews, oxymorons and univocalics." (what the hell is a Clerihew?)

This one is very precious to me, since my Dad is no longer alive. He was an interesting parent; for my 12th birthday i got a copy of Betty Friedan's book "The Feminine Mystique".

So here's my daddy's quote:

"Never learn to type or cook, or there'll be some man asking you to the rest of your life."

One of my girlfriends was lied to by a married man and ended up sleeping with him before discovering he had lied. He was a "grass freak"; we all know one; a man who wants his lawn to look like a putting green. My girlfriend bought grass-killer and wrote "CHEATER" on his lawn...surreptiously of course.

i was absolutely bowled over, but i applauded her.

On the flip side, #2 from my ex-husband collection cheated on me a lot when we were married, and when I found out for sure that he was... I spent about $8,000 over the period of 2 weeks, then took $5,000 cash, then kicked him out of the house.

Was just thinking of how men who cheat on their wives, may get paybacks from both ends.

Oh, to tie my response to this thread topic... my favorites quotes from ex#2.....
"I thought it was you!"
"I was sleeping"
"I didn't know she was blowing me until after I came"
"I wanted to see what big tits felt like" (men, don't use this one if your wife is 38D)

oh and plenty other quotes like these....

I know someone who'd love to use that quote. Any idea who said it originally?
Thanks,
