I happen to love reading quotes, contemplating them and applying them to real life thinking the way I think the "quoter" meant for them to be. If you have read a great quote, please share it with us.

"Fathom the Hypocrisy of a Government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured...
but not everyone must prove they are a citizen." Ben Stein

"How can someone pay less than $2000.00 in taxes for the year get back $7500.00?? Because you have kids? And you have a medical card from taxpayers?" quoted by ME to my pregnant co-worker. She is due for her c-section on Dec. 21, in which her chosen Dr. will also "fix" her previous c-section scarring....pisses me off to no end that she doesn't even have to go through labor and delivery.

Jaybird · Post by **Jaybird** » Mon Jan 02, 2012 11:34 am

Will Rogers , who died in a 1935 plane crash, was one of the
greatest political sages this country has ever known.

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman.
Neither works.

4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

5. Always drink upstream from the herd.

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it
and put it back into your pocket.

8. There are three kinds of men:
The ones that learn by reading.
The few who learn by observation.
The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence
and find out for themselves.

9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then
to make sure it's still there.

11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.

12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.
The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

ABOUT GROWING OLDER...

First ~Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying
about your age and start bragging about it.

Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers.
Not me; I want people to know 'why' I look this way.
I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth,
think of Algebra.

Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.

Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.

Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging
is that it's such a nice change from being young.

Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.

Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks,
it was called witchcraft.
Today it's called golf.

And, finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble,
you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old

A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent. ~William Blake, "Auguries of Innocence," Poems from the Pickering Manuscript

People who are brutally honest get more satisfaction out of the brutality than out of the honesty. ~Richard J. Needham

There's one way to find out if a man is honest - ask him. If he says, "Yes," you know he is a crook. ~Groucho Marx

People say they love truth, but in reality they want to believe that which they love is true.

Robert J. Ringer
