Quote It! Saturday

This blog is, of course, devoted to quotes. At least it's supposed to be...I'm still having trouble keeping up with two blogs. Gonna keep trying to get back into the swing of it.

In the meantime, Freda's Voice has a wonderful meme called Quote It! that I cannot resist participating in. You can post as many quotes as you like. To join in, hop on over to Freda's place!


God has neither form nor shape under which we can know Him; when he speaks of Himself in metaphors and similes, He is adapting Himself to our foolishness, our limited capacity.
~Christina of Sweden

Think freely. Smile often
Rediscover old friends. Make new ones.
Tell those you love them that you do.
Dream. Hope. Grow. Give. Give in.
Pick some daisies. Share them.
Sing. Dance. Reach out. Let someone in.
Hug a child. Kiss.
Slow down. Hold a hand.
See a sunrise. Listen to a the rain.
Trust life. Share faith. Enjoy.
Make some mistakes. Learn from them.
Love everyone. Explore the unknown.
Celebrate life and love.
~from a Christmas card

To varnish nonsense with the charms of sound.
~Winston Churchill

Men stumble over the truth from time to time, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened.
~Winston Churchill

Life is not always what one wants it to be, but to make the best of it as it is, is the only way to be happy.
~Jennie Jerome Churchill

From end to end of Thy creation,
There is no break in continuity, no more than between body and soul.
~Paul Cladel

Gossip needn't be false to be evil--there's a lot of truth that shouldn't be passed around.
~Frank A. Clark

I refuse as I age to deny my years. When asked at 30, I'll be 30. When the question comes up at 45, I'll take 45. For what year could I subtract? The one in which my son or daughter was born? Or the year I first fell in love? How about one less favorable? Like the year I came down with pneumonia. Or one of those grief-filled years spent saying goodbye to someone close? Maybe I could choose the seemingly insignificant. That year I saw a falling star? Or the one spent not enthralled with life, just content with it? No, I think I'll keep them all, the good, the bad, and the even not so memorable. To deny one would be to deny myself. Because added up, they are my life.

Quote It! Saturday

This blog is, of course, devoted to quotes. At least it's supposed to be...I couldn't believe that I haven't posted since May! But Freda's Voice has a wonderful meme called Quote It! that I cannot resist participating in once again. You can post as many quotes as you like. To join in, hop on over to Freda's place!

Here are my weekly offerings (all by Samuel Butler):

Conscience is thoroughly well-bred and soon leaves off talking to those who do not wish to hear it.

Life is like music; it must be composed by ear, feeling and instinct, not by rule. Nevertheless, one had better know the rules, for they sometimes guide in doubtful cases, though not often.

Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too.

Catch-up quote from Friday:

I was just thinking that of all the trails in this life, there is one that matters most. It is the trail of a true human being. I think you are on this trail and it is good to see.

Dances with Wolves (screenplay)

Saturday's Quote:

I somehow managed to miss the Quote of the Day for yesterday, so here are both Friday and Saturday's quotes:

Life would be so much simpler if there were no such thing as men.

Rosemary Procter
She Shall Have Murder (p. 130)
by Delano Ames

[Simpler, yes. But not near as much fun sometimes.]


In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love you want the other person.

The Fiery Fountains
