I have a bizzare sense of humor, and this one just cracks me up! (Not sure where it came from..)

a moving quote from Colin Powell...
On February 14, 2002, (during MTV Global Discussion) he was asked how he felt representing a country commonly perceived as "the Satan of contemporary politics." Here is the relevant part of his reply:
" Far from being the Great Satan, I would say that we are the Great Protector. We have sent men and women from the armed forces of the United States to other parts of the world throughout the past century to put down oppression. We defeated Fascism. We defeated Communism. We saved Europe in World War I and World War II. We were willing to do it, glad to do it. We went to Korea. We went to Vietnam. All in the interest of preserving the rights of people.
And when all those conflicts were over, what did we do? Did we stay and conquer? Did we say, "Okay, we defeated Germany. Now Germany belongs to us? We defeated Japan, so Japan belongs to us"? No. What did we do? We built them up. We gave them democratic systems which they have embraced totally to their soul. And did we ask for any land? No, the only land we ever asked for was enough land to bury our dead. And that is the kind of nation we are."

I have two.
1. If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.
2. Life is what happens to us when we are busy making other plans.

I've always felt Oscar Wilde had a way with words. Here's one of his I really like:

A consistent pattern of thought on a subject of desire will bring you corresponding reality without taking the physical steps that you are accustomed to taking. Thought is powerful and transformative.

Not a quote but something I remind myself regularly.
When I am frustrated and wondering if it is worth it, I remind myself that....
This is where everyone else gives up!
And
That which does not kill me, makes me stronger.
Adversity is what make me who I am. I never regret it.

Hi Shelly,
I was recently reminded of one of my favourite quotes and mentioned it in another post (can't remember where, I must be at that age LOL) and is from the famous scientist Isaac Newton who said:-
"If it appears that I can see further it's because I am standing on the shoulders of giants". He obviously felt somewhat humbled by others who had helped him and who he had learned from.
best wishes,
Mal.
