Good morning! Looks like a pretty fall day out there right now...although I think it's supposed to rain this afternoon.

Here's today's Question Of The Day.

Do you have any favorite quotes or sayings?

I have several...

"Life is too short to drink bad wine"

"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt." - Abraham Lincoln

"How empty are the lives of those who have never been blessed with the spirit of a little cat invading their hearts." - Unknown

Knowledge is power. I like it because it is sooo true. Also "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer". "No outfit is complete without cat hair" Needless to say, I have a complete wardrobe! "Cherish the little things in life. For in the end, they are the big things". I try to live this one especially. Great question!! Gets you thinking!

Our lives are not defined by the victories, but the battles we fought to win them. (Unknown)

Cognita Ergo Sum ( I think therefore I am)

Any debt that life owed us was paid in full the day we were conceived.

I dream of a world where my children are judged on the content of their character and not the color of their skin ( Martin Luther King Jr)

See the changes that need to be made and make yourself the example.

When all is said and done you are the only person you have to spend 24hours a day with be happy within yourself.

I have several; the 1st 2 are from Thomas Jefferson:

"I cannot live without books."
"When the people fear the government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."

"The fireside is the cat's Eden."--Robert Southey

"Askin' ain't gettin'!"--Pork (in Gone with the Wind; this is the scene where Scarlett proposes asking Rhett Butler for the tax money she needs to save Tara; when she walks away, her slave Pork mumbles this quote to himself.)
