Quotations

[DollyDiaper]

I heard a good quotation today that I've never heard before:-

"Life may not be the party we hoped for....but while we're here we might as well dance."

It's in a similar vein to one that I sometimes quote - when I'm making a concerted effort to see my glass half full, rather than half empty:-

"If life hands you a lemon, make lemonade."

I've never heard any diaper/nappy related quotations before, so I just googled but I only found one:-

(From a business manual 'Workplace Wisdom for Baby-Boomers') "Only wet babies like change."

What are your favourite quotations?

[LightFolf]

At the risk of being conceited, I'm rather fond of my own twists on well-known quotations:

"If life gives you lemons, return fire." (What I eventually came up with from my initial "If live gives you lemons, throw them back.")

and

"We'll burn that bridge when we come to it."

I especially like to use this one. I tend to get strange looks when I say it.

But I've heard a lot of other quotes I like, too, I just can't really remember them clearly. I'll see if I come across the random scraps of paper I've jotted them down on.

As far as diapers go, tho, I've heard something to the effect of "diapers are like politicians." I forget exactly if it said something more like "they need to be changed for the same reason" or what...but I know you could get from it that they both should be changed frequently, or that they're both full of crap. I think I've seen it on bumper stickers.

[DollyDiaper]

Tee-hee, good ones, I like your slant on them.

Talking of bumper stickers - there was one doing the rounds in the US during the election campaign which I like:-

"The only bush I'd vote for is my own!"

[LightFolf]

Hehe

I know a few people who wore t-shirts with that written on them, when Anne Coulter (conservative personality book writer type) spoke on campus here. I think the girls wearing the shirts were mostly lesbians (based on I know a couple of them were, and I think some of the others were dating them) which I guess adds something more to the quote.

Now if we were looking for bad quotations, we could go with "a temporary disruption," Bush's words in reference to how Katrina will effect the gulf war.

[HuggieBaby]

One of my favorites is an Italian proverb...

"If our house burns, let us warm ourselves."

just kinda gives the view on how i feel about life, stay optimistic...

I have many favorite movie quotes, but thats for another time....

[DollyDiaper]

I like the optimistic quotations too HuggieBaby. I always try to dredge one up when I'm having a hard time. It doesn't always work but trying to remember one takes my mind off the problem

"Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it."

[DollyDiaper]

Heres one that fits here

" you'ld be paraniod too if everyone was out to get you."

Tee-hee

Which reminds me of aniother one:

"Infamy! Infamy, they've all got it in for me!"

I love puns, in case you hadn't noticed

[Daphne Sissy]

Tee-hee

[DollyDiaper]

Yep, Kenneth Williams in Carry on Cleo. What a sad life he led, not being able to accept who he was.

Much as I like Shakespeare, I'm not keen on your last quotation, Dolly being a pacifist 'n all......

[Daphne Sissy]

Other funny quotes from carry on's

"Oh well ear today, gone tomorrow." - Carry On Screaming

"No rest for the wicked" - Carry on Screaming

I'm sure I'll think of more, but Carry on screaming is by far my favourite.

[Floaty_Boy]

Heres one that fits here

" you'ld be paraniod too if everyone was out to get you."

And there's the corollary to that one:

"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they really aren't out to get you."

I have a couple in my signature.....

[Valentine]

There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish--sometimes.

When the shit hits the fan, you wish you had worn a diaper!

Hi julia, I'm glad you didn't leave after all.

"If a blonde throws a grenade at you, take out the pin and throw it back"

[Viczindahowz]

Actually I think what you are refering to is the saying "a boss is like a diaper, always on your ass, and usually full of shit". And the other is "Polliticians, like diapers, should be changed often, and for the same reasons". I know a couple others but they escape me at this moment, I know "Let a diaper be your umbrella" isn't one of them.

i believe it is "they are always full of shit and always on your ass" but i have heard this qoute used differently in many ways such as instead of politicians it's parents or teachers or boss's "my boss is like a diaper always full of shit and always on my ass" things like that.

To be totally conceited and egotistical all in the same breath, I kinda like this one (I've been saying it for years):

"Why do so many people tip-toe through life only to reach death safely?"

Mo

Somewhere in Texas, a village is missing its idiot.

Tee-hee, I like that one, it reminds me of another:-

"Life is like a rollercoaster, so you might as well sit at the front!"

[DollyDiaper]

If at first you don't succeed...

So much for skydiving!

[Chloe]

Got a couple:-

" If your parents never had a child, chances are you wont either "

" Only Adam had no mother-in-law, thats how we know he lived in paradise "

[Lance Bedwetter]

I got one that I like. I have heard several versions of it.

"We're different, people fear what is different."

That one truly applies to us.

Cordination strikes 1 out of every 10, You may be next

At the risk of sounding dumb, I don't understand what this quotation means. Try as I might, I don't get it.
