If it’s December 1941 in Casablanca, what time is it in New York?” Howard E. Koch

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2015-12-01

This week’s Tuesday quote seemed appropriate for the occasion. After all, today is December first, and just yesterday, it was summer, oh what a bummer?

Time flies when you are having fun?
Or is it just another pun?
Hoping to see the sun
Even though it’s December one

“How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before its afternoon. December is here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flown. How did it get so late so soon?”

Quote A Week Tuesday #3, Part One

“There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship” Thomas Aquinas

Quote A Week Tuesday #3, Part One and Two

Today is time for two of my favourite quotes, and as usual, quite something to relate to:

The old adage “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer” (Sun Tzu) can easily be translated into “With friends like that, who needs enemas” (The Adventures of Ford Fairlane).

In my youth, yes, believe it, I did have one, it was often hard to know whom to trust and I grew a shell around my person, trying to keep disappointments outside. As I have aged, no not grown old, rather wiser (if even possible :P) the protective exterior has somewhat cracked and trusting people a little more has become easier. Not too much mind you, but just enough! That being said, a little mistrust never hurt anyone?

Meanwhile, enjoy my “little lesson in life” in part two:

Mistrust is such an Ugly Word

enemies close

“Trust dies but mistrust blossoms” Sophocles

Mistrust is such an Ugly Word

My poor little mistrusting thing
Think ,what joy a friend may bring
Together sharing your precious blings
Laughing when playing in the swing

Trust is a difficult thing
You say quicker than the clock could ding
I am afraid of the sting
Even if it means alone I would sing

Your world may not always be on a string
And you may not always be the king
But if you want that bell to ring
Spread out far your wings
And in the chorus you may sing

trust

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2015-11-17

For today’s quote, I actually have two for the price of one. And with my personal twist of course 😛

Usually it is nice to get feedback, especially the positive kind. Unfortunately sometimes (read more often than usual) you get feedback or opinions from people, who need to voice their own point of view for anything and everything.

For myself, a “like” is sufficient and indicates someone enjoyed your offering. If you have something valuable to add, then make a comment, hopefully the positive kind. But in this writer’s opinion, if you don’t like what you hear, read or see, just move along 😉

“Opinions are like voids in the derrière; everyone has one”

Keep calm and keep on quoting!

A Quote a Week Tuesday #1

First quote of the series, is a rather funny one. For one thing, it is often true. But then again, like most quotes, it can inspire to think and as an extension, write 😉

“A quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself, always a laborious business” A.A. Milne, If I May

A Quote a Week Tuesday: New Tuesday Series

As inspired by the 3 day quote challenge, I am launching a new serial, “A Quote a Week Tuesday”.

Since I am so fond of quotes and use them in all my posts, I decided this could be a fun challenge for Tuesdays.

Any quote, own or borrowed will be posted each Tuesday accompanied by photos of the same theme.

If you want, you can ping back your own post to this site. This, however, is not a round robin type thing, rather just something on the side 😉

Let the quotations continue!
