Quotable Quotes by Bamsyle(m): 11:44am On Feb 25, 2009
They're called "Quotable Quotes", "Words on Marble" "Wisecracks" "Nuggets", etc. Some are motivating a la inspiring, others are downright funny. They could have been culled from speeches, written texts or other sources . . .

Let's face it . . . we all love quotes . . . I love me some quotes. I love to extract and read them. Over and over again.

I got the following from Andy Rooney , a man who has the gift of saying so much with so few words.

them for that.

something else to take its place.

I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do love each other.

I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I've learned that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.

I like quotes too, got a couple here:

- Never judge someone on the basis of what you can see; the absence of evidence is not an evidence of absence - Samuel L. Jackson.

- Behind every successful man is a woman who believes that there is a woman behind every successful man. (can't remeber where i read that)

- There are opportunities everywhere; the only problem is that they are dressed in coveralls and look like work.

And my personal favorite: Don't be greedy, half a loaf is better than chin-chin!

times a day with words and emotions as if we've already
achieved them.
