As to not derail, I will post my reply in quotes:

"There is a satisfactory boniness about grammar which the flesh of sheer vocabulary requires before it can become a vertebrate and walk the earth."
- Anthony Burgess

This one reminds me of HAGG:

"I never made a mistake in grammar but one in my life and as soon as I done it I seen it."
- Carl Sandburg

Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.- Allison Wheatly 2nd grade (oh the level I've been forced to stoop to)

He who lives in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. - chinese proverd

She who lives in North Tulsa shouldn't wear chucks with a brown nose. - Dr. Phil. Or maybe not

Be content! Being upset won't change a thing, but it will ruin your day. Joyce Meyer

No, I think it was more like "She who lives in north tulsa shouldn't be forced to wear ankle weights while wearing brown nosed chucks" That seems like something Dr. Phil told me once when I was on his show to get rid of my addiction to sniffing nail files ROFLMAO

Oh, but I have one more quote for ya:

"Kettle, you're black." ~Pot

I just call it like I see it, if I don't see it I'll make it up. - Unknown but maybe it was something I said once
Don't count your chicks before they are hatched. Who Cares
He who laughs last laughs best. Unknown

Whenever you find you are on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. -Mark Twain


The lack of money is the root of all evil. -Mark Twain



The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in a single, solitary, even humble individual. For it is within the soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost. -Henry Thoreau

I will not cough up blood, I keep up to date with vaccinations. Also, thank you for pointing out that such a thing might have made me cough up blood because now someone somewhere will be sitting wiggling their bum like a lioness ready to pounce on my inevitable mistakes! :cat::giggle:

“Dad always warned that it was misleading when one imagined people, when one saw them in the Mind's Eye, because one never remembered them as they really were, with as many inconsistencies as there were hairs on a human head (100,000 to 200,000). Instead, the mind used a lazy shorthand, smoothed the person over into their most dominating characteristic- their pessimism or insecurity (something really being lazy, turning them into either Nice or Mean)-and one made the mistake of judging them from this basis alone and risked, on a subsequent encounter, being dangerously surprised.”


Marisha Pessl, Special Topics in Calamity Physics

Be smart, don't act smart. -Unknown


Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another. -Immanuel Kant


The truly powerful do not proclaim themsleves, they are proclaimed by others. -Unknown

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond all measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.—Marianne Williamson

We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees, yet we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid when told they are loved !!!

Happy are they who take life day by day, complain very little, and are thankful for the little things in life.

“Do what you can with what you have, where you are" -Theodore Roosevelt

“Her memory will be a flower tucked into literature’s turban.
In her loneliness, every sister cries for her.”
