You have control over your own words.

Robert Deniro: Goddamn right I do. So, here come
two words for you. Shut the fuck up.
(From the movie Midnight Run)

"Yes my lady, I am drunk, but in the morning I will be sober, while you will still be ugly." Winston Churchill.

 

My Father's mother knew Winnie & corresponded with him right up to her death. She told me that when he gave the "V" for victory sign it was neither him smoking nor for victory it was the 2 finger salute to Hitler. :lol:

 

"Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want."

The quieter you become, the more you can hear - Baba Ramdas

 

If you’re not very clever you should be conciliatory. Benjamin Disraeli

 

"Remain quiet with a look of amusement on your face and have them wonder what you are planning." - a. nomynous

 

There is this quote from Arthur Schopenhauer..

"Talent hits a target no one else can hit; genius hits a target no one else can see."

=================================================================

Or there is this quote from the film "The Third Man."

"Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

"Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances."
-Benjamin Franklin

 

"The things we hate about ourselves aren't more real than the things we like about ourselves."
-Ellen Goodman

That's a pretty good one, too!:rose:

 

"If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place."
-Nora Roberts

 

"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
-Michael Jordan

Love that one.:rose:

 

My head hurts.

Richief.

 

As long as you hate, there will be people to hate.
