KEEP GOING

Quote a Week Tuesday dedication to Sir Winston Churchill

I have dedicated this week’s Quote a Week Tuesday to Sir Winston Churchill. The quotations chosen may help you through some tricky situations, as they have me!

My top ten list (in no particular order):

* “There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.”
* “To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.”
* “Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.”
* “Personally I’m always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.”
* “Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.”
* “Attitude is a little thing that makes a BIG difference.”
* “You have enemies? Good. It means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
* “In the course of my life I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.”
* “Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.”
* “The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.”

Mundane Monday

“We’re horribly mundane, aggressively mundane individuals. We’re the ninjas of the mundane, you might say” Andy Partridge

Variations of a Theme

Same old song and dance
Oh, just give me a chance
I really like the view
It only shows for a few
Soon some snow will fall
And the pictures get more dull

Stairway Selfie

A familiar form
Maybe a little worn
From the window reflected
And in an image resurrected

Like the inside of a spleen
Or little figurines
Made out of soybeans

Retorted the boss
His shoes out tossed
And ran out barefoot

Dreaming of a green pasture
Making me grow even faster
Alas, soon dreams will shatter
Concrete is the only thing that matters

Behind the thin line
With only a glass wall
Breaking the fall
When nature calls

Darker Side 

Welcome to the dark side
We will take you on a joyride
Your mind we will divide…

OK, so it’s just a regular bench in the park, later that same day, when the sun was setting 😛
