quotations to chew on
was filing my previous writings and found an interesting list of quotes which i really liked.THE NEW PLEDGE I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States Against Anything Un-American, and to the Republicans for which it stands, two nations, under Jesus, rich against poor, with curtailed liberty and justice for all* *Except blacks, homosexuals, women who want abortions, Communists, welfare queens, treehuggers, feminazis, illegal immigrants, children of illegal immigrants, and you if you don't watch your step
-unknown
If you could live forever, would you and why? Answer: "I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever,"
-Miss Alabama in the 1994 Miss USA contest.
{Hullo, if you can't convince, confuse?}
"The paradox of our time in history is that we spend more, but have less. we have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. we have more degrees but less sense, more medicine, but less wellness. we drink too much, smoke too much, laugh too little, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. we've learned how to make a living, but not a life. we've done larger things, but not better things. big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. these are the days of two incomes but more divorces fancier houses, but broken homes. say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak and give time to share."
-George Carlin
