Question of the Day Friday September 23, 2016

Good morning all,

I am taking over the QOTD for Pam today and next Friday. 

Question:

What is your favorite quote or saying of all time? 

 Mine is "United we stand, divided we fall"- Patrick Henry

It's so true in every aspect of life. 

Have a great Friday everyone. Please keep Pam, Rick, Boo and the rest of their furkids in your thoughts today.

"It's never too late to have a happy childhood" - Tom Robbins

"Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pas no criticisms." - George Eliot

"Be true to yourself" from "To thine own self be true."  William Shakespeare

We are all living on borrowed time.  Our lives are, one and all, mortgaged, some more heavily than others, and eventual foreclosure awaits us all.  Some will receive notice before others, but ALL our notices are in the mail.  Nevertheless, until the postman comes, be happy.  There is no other rational response but happiness.  Despair is a foolish squandering of precious time.

                                              The character Snowman from "Fear Nothing" by Dean Koontz                                                                        

I don't remember the exact quote.  It's from The Unoriginal Sinner and the Ice Cream God.  Something about God didn't create the churches but he did make the outdoors and you can worship there as well as anywhere.  Anyway as a girl in a Catholic school who didn't like the Catholic religion it was a comfort and I think of it whenever I am in the woods and just enjoying being there.

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead.

Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow.

Just walk beside me and be my friend.

-Albert Camus
 

I always liked the Golden Rule:  "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

I always thought that was Canned Heat. :lol3:

"There but for the Grace of God, go I".......

I have many favourites so I could go on forever, but since this is a kitty website (And behalf of all animals altogether) I'll post a related one that I've always enjoyed:

"Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of character, and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man" - Schopenhauer



To my inner core I always thought that ringed true.

i can't say that i have an all time favorite quote. i seem to come across them, when the quotes are the most meaningful to me. but i'll post a quote from one of my favorite people, JFK --

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.    - John F. Kennedy

Mine is from Horace: "Semel emissum volat irrevocabile verbum". Colloquially speaking, it means: you cannot take back the words you say, so think before you speak!.

My favorite quote is by George W. Bush at the World Trade Center Site on September 2001.

My favorite quote from him would have been "I have decided not to run for a 2nd term".

My favourite is one by Ghandi.

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

Get your facts first , then you can distort them as you please.  Mark Twain

Thank you, @Kat0121  

I don't know that I really have a favorite quote.

I think of this sometimes when I'm on the treadmill or out walking at lunch....usually when my butt hurts to walk, but know that it's best that I do.

Confucious:  It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

"Thank you for the tragedy, I need it for my art".

- Kurt Cobain (Nirvana).
