One of my ALL time faves is "duct tape and nyquil solve plenty of problems"

Kim, is it too cheezy if I say "carpe diem" ? It means "seize the day".

Two of my moms favorite...

Things always work out in the end, if they haven't worked out your not at the end

Two of my dads favorite...

I suppose mine would be...
Life to short, laugh often
Diversity is all we need

"Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much" is one of my favorites

just remembered another one

"Just remember...everything Fred Astaire did, Ginger Rogers did backwards AND in heels!"

One of my favorite quotes is below:

"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf."

this is lyrics from a song but i try and live this way ever since i heard it. "And the cares of tomorrow can wait til this day is done." I liked it so much i use it in my signature.

Life is Not Measured by the Number of Breathes you Take, but By The Number of Moments that Take Your Breath Away.

My all-time favorite quote, drummed into me by my late father, is:

"Admit you don't know and then find out."

That philosophy has fueled a lot of my curiosity, all to good advantage.

I've always liked this one. It has been quoted and misquoted many times.

There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it ill behaves any of us to find fault with the rest of us.
James Truslow Adams

I like that.

Something I often told my son as he was growing up and not wanting to do his homework:

If you don't start; you'll never finish

I have had to tell myself that on many occassions when facing projects I didn't want to do (clean the house, complete Christmas cards, etc.)

Hope it can help motivate you, too.

Ok this is mine....

"Are you smokin crack"? (meaning are you crazy!!!

hehehehe but not on a card or bookmark!

Lori

Why not? Surely we can get them to come up with a 'crack' Bella :)

I'm famous for this one when I don't like something...."it wouldn't be my first choice".....drives my husband nuts

I've always liked "It is never too late to be what you might have been." That's a quote from George Eliot, I believe.

Crazy drivers-"Where did he get his driver's license? A gumball machine??"

My dad says plenty of good ones, but maybe not for a bookmark.

or
Pardon me for conveying the impression that I care!!!! ok maybe not for most--

"The world is conspiring in my favor today!"




(Chant that to yourself, even on bad days; it does help to start turning things around on any given day and see the good in it vs. the negative).

I saw a great bumper sticker the other day that said:

silence is golden, duct tape is silver.

I'm still chuckling about it.

I saw this one the other day........
'Its better to have loved and lost....
than to be around a psycho the rest
of your life'
Reminded me of someone I once worked with !!

Here are a couple:

I didn't just fall off the turnip truck ya' know....

The elevator went up but no one got off.....

Here are some sayings I like ...

"Life is uncertain ... eat dessert first!"

"Don't cry because it's over ... smile because it happened."

"There are no problems ... just challenges and opportunities."

This is from a song but I can't remember which group did it (and don't know who wrote the lyrics):

"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."

OH my gosh, I say that all the time! I also say "They are one sleeve short of a sweater"

Tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift.

That's why they call it the present.

(I believe Eleanor Roosevelt said that)

:D

I have 2 favourites -

"Time is an illusion, especially lunchtime" - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

"I'm going to live forever or die trying" - Woody Allen (I think) which is my philosophy for life

oh and this next one is just so true for me -
"God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things.
Right now I am so far behind that I will never die." � Bill Watterson

I always say thisto everyone...Get over it! LOL I should have that on a stamp!

Here are my favorite quotes that I put on an altered clipboard for myself:

Masquerading as a normal person day after day is exhausting.
If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there.
"why not?" is a slogan for an interesting life.
If you are not living on the edge you are taking up too much room.
Another belief of mine: that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. (Ferris Bueller)
Taken out of context I must seem so strange.

mrsa1993.....you must be my long lost twin! LOL

Love your outlook on life! LOL

On the light side: Smile, it gives your face something to do. Smile. It makes people wonder what you've been up to. If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.

Been thinking about things family members and the kids always say... Seems everyone I know has some sort of tag line.
