    Thursday Thirteen - Quotes


    13 Quotes Melli Likes
    In no particular order. Each may be my
    favorite one depending on how I feel that day!



    1. There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever ~ Gandhi

    2. Some critics will write 'Maya Angelou is a natural writer' - which is right after being a natural heart surgeon. ~ Maya Angelou

    3. If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do matters very much. ~ Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis

    4. A lot of people think 'Alice's Restaurant' was an anti-war song. It's not. It's an anti-idiot song. ~ Arlo Guthrie

    5. You know, I'm pro-troops, but I'm not pro-war. ~ Toby Keith

    6. Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten. ~ B.F.Skinner

    7. If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees. ~ Kahlil Gibran

    8. Housework is a treadmill from futility to oblivion with stop offs at tedium and counter productivity. ~ Erma Bombeck

    9. Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead. ~ Lucille Ball

    10. Like almost everyone who uses e-mail, I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren't so exciting. ~ Bill Gates

    11. Bill Gates is a very rich man today... and do you want to know why? The answer is one word: versions. ~ Dave Barry

    12. I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves. ~ Harriet Tubman

    Thanks for coming by my blog -- and thanks for the antidepressant recommendation. I have an appt May 11th. I intend to ask about it.

    I love quotes! And I like all of them-- but especially #13

    By Blogger Melzie, at 4/27/2006 11:33 AM  

    #2 is really good. If it looks easy, there's probably a lot of effort backing it up.

    Thanks for visiting my TT.

    Nearly all of my blog entries begin with quotes that I find inspirational, but I've not seen any of these. Bravo! They are wonderful!

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 4/27/2006 4:33 PM  

    I really enjoyed your TT...a couple made me clench my fist and say "YAH!". I just posted my 1st TT and posted a WW just before that, so now they are out of sync...kinda like my whole day is today! Congrats on that 20 lb weight lose sweetie!

    I love reading your thirteens! I love all of the quotes, especially Dr. Seuss and Ghandi(I need to follow that one) and the one with Bill Gates and his versions. I'm gonna copy them and look at them a lot to remind me. :) I really love the Dr. Seuss one!!!!!! Good luck with finding a pottery class. I've gotta find one too. I think it'll feel good on the hands too. Gotta start digging for information very soon! Have a bee u tee full day!!!! :)
