The intention is to lift, inspire and make those in need of encouragement either feel good about themselves, keep motivated, or just plain laugh. We need some light hearted fun around here.. If you don't like a quote, ignore it and move on...this isn't a place for debate or ridicule. Post one that you do like and agree with. Hope everyone will post and join in the fun. 1 Link to comment

shygurl Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Something related to my lifestyle and it's so true... It's not a role. It's not a game. It's not something you try. It's not an item on your bucket list. True submission is who you are. Author Unknown 1 Link to comment

AfterGeometry Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (Cool cool speaking of Teddy Roosevelt:) The Man In The Arena "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." 1 Link to comment

AfterGeometry Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I can never get enough of the wisdom and humor of Oscar Wilde: "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." "Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." "A good friend will always stab you in the front." "We are all in the gutter; but some of us are looking at the stars." "Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary." "I don't want to go to heaven. None of my friends are there." "I can resist anything except temptation." Link to comment

Helen Keller The problem with this one is just a basic question of biology, dearest shy...does the heart muscle have the ability to feel anything?? I am not sure if our beating hearts have the sense of touch. I can feel my heart beating in my chest (sometimes) but does that mean my heart can feel itself beat within my chest? Hmmm, quite the brain teaser. ???? Link to comment
shygurl Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 Sigh...…….. AG, if you can't feel something in your heart then you are heartless!!! Hmm, that could be your problem!!! ?? PS...this is not disagree with Shy day, you should know better!! Link to comment
