Our family motto - if it doesn't fit force it, if it breaks it needed replacing anyway.
It's got me into, and out of, some interesting predicaments.

Re: quotes for now
These are from a book of one of my favourite authors Robert A Heinlein
Men are more sentimental than women it blurs there thinking
Any priest or shaman must be presumed guilty until proven innocent
Always listen to the experts, they'll tell you what can't be done and why, then do it
everything in excess, to enjot the flavour of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks.
A woman is not property, and husbands who think otherwise are living in a dreamworld.
when all else fails rub her feet
be wary of strong drink it can make you shoot at tax collectors... and miss.
never try to outstubborn a cat
climate is what we expect... wwather is what we get!
a committee is a life form with six or more legs and no brain
and my own quote,
A man's problems begin when he stops listening to women.
cheers Richard

Our remote ancestors said to their mother Earth, "We are yours."
Modern humanity has said to Nature, "You are mine."
The Green Man has returned as the living face of the whole earth so that through his mouth we may say to the universe, "We are one."

Re: quotes for now
My dear old nana used to always be saying 'Well, I didn't do it on purpose', as she wandered off leaving havoc in her wake. Possibly not much of a quote but I do often remember how she said it when I'm trying to avoid unnecessary guilt,old tree man wrote:I was just in time to be to late, my dear old nana
And she also used to say 'Wish in one hand and sh*t in t'other and see which gets full first'. She was very practical

(Did you like my coy asterisk?).

My best friend and former flat-mate always advises:
The bridge between despair and hope is a good night's sleep
She's right!!

Re: quotes for now
Both my favourite quotes of the moment are from the late, great, artist and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser:
If one person dreams alone, it is only a dream. when many people dream together, it is the beginning of a new reality. (As seen in my sig)
and...
You are a guest of nature. Behave.

I took my dog to play frisbee. She was useless. I think I need a flatter dog.
