StaffyGirl's Ironic Quotes for the Day

[Guest [St...]]

In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older.

And, there on television, she said it was 'exciting...'

Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day.....like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first.

 

The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!

 

Maya Angelou said this:

'I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.'

 

'I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.'

 

'I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.'

 

'I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life..''I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.'

 

'I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back...'

 

'I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.'

 

'I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.'

 

'I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back...'

 

'I've learned that I still have a lot to learn...'

 

'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.'

Thanks Pattylu,

 

Unfortunately, lots of my images were moved as Photobucket released a new version and 'misplaced' several hundred of my pics!  But I keep finding them and reloading.

DON’T  QUIT

 

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill

When the funds are low and the debts are high

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh

When care is pressing you down a bit

Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns

As every one of us sometimes learns

And many a fellow turns about

When he might have won, had he stuck it out.

Don't give up though the pace seems slow

You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than

It seems to a faint and faltering man;

Often the struggler has given up

When he might have captured the victor's cup;

And he learned too late when the night came down

How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt

And you never can tell how close you are

It may be near when it seems afar;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit

It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

I like this quote to Staffy I have and had many flaws.

 

I have muscle and joint pains but not complaining these to will pass.  How are you?

 

 

By three methods we may learn wisdom:

First, by reflection, which is noblest;

Second, by imitation, which is easiest;

And third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Taper is going pretty well, but very quick on new regime, have some major dental problems at the moment, infected crown, which now needs to be taken off, root canal and then put back on.  Ouchies.    Agree with you, no use complaining, just have to get on with it.

Start where you stand and never mind the past

The past won't help you in beginning new

If you have left it all behind at last

Why, that's enough, you're done with it, you're through

This is another chapter in the book

This is another race that you have planned

Don't give the vanished days a backward look

Start where you stand.

“Dare to Be

 

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.

When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.

When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.

When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.

When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.

When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.

When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.

When times are tough, dare to be tougher.

When love hurts you, dare to love again.

When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.

When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.

When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.

When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.

When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.

When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.

Dare to be the best you can –

 

At all times, Dare to be!”

“I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.

Just as the ocean has waves, and the sun has rays, so the minds own radiance is its thoughts and emotions. 

The ocean has waves, yet the ocean is not particularly disturbed by them.  The waves are the very nature of the ocean. 

Waves will rise, but where do they go?  Back into the ocean, and where do the waves come from?  The ocean 

 

Ponder that one Staffy
