The full quote is from Perls Gestalt Prayer 1969
"I do my thing and you do your thing
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations
And you are not in this world to live up to mine
you are you and I am I
and if by chance we find each other it's beautiful
if not it can't be helped."

Thanks - I always wondered where that came from.

You're welcome, one from my collection of quotes from notice boards that I have found in staff rooms I'll pop some more on now and again
Treat the earth well, it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children.

Weight Watcher

"I'll take one choc", said I to me -
And somehow I devoured three.

Said Me to I, "Just take one more".
Oh what a pig; I've eaten four.

The empty spaces count to six!
Perhaps my eyes are playing tricks.

I've scoffed a half. I'm full of sorrow
I'll close the box until tomorrow.
:oops:

This is my favorite from a staff room

If you find your mug is clean
It's not the fairies that have been
Neither is it the little elves,
Nor do the blighters wash themselves.

In the early morn, it turns us up
To see so many mucky cups,
So to the kitchen then we take 'em
And get them clean as we can make 'em

But we're fed up with doing this chore
when the rest of you swan out the door
It would be nice if one fine day
We found some clean cups on the tray

So when you've had your favorite drink
There is a place (its called a sink)
Go there with your dirty cup
And be like us and wash it up.

Only dead fish go with the flow.

Measure yourself by your own standards, not someone elses.

So long and thanks for all the fish.
Has anyone seen the plot, I seem to have lost mine?

'Thames-Water taken up about Greenwich at Low Water, where it is free from all Brackishness of the Sea, and has in it all the Fall and Sullage from this great City of London, makes very Strong Drink. It will of it self alone, being carryd to Sea, ferment wonderfully, and after its due Purgations,11 and three times stinking (after which it continues sweet) it will be so strong, that Several Sea Commanders have told me it wou'd burn, and has often fuddled their Marriners.' Edward Whitaker's Directions For Brewing (1700)

This bizarre quote was left for me when my cider didn't turn out so good... !

When the game is over the King and the Pawn go in the same box.
