Topic: Inspirational Quotes

All that is gold does not sparkle,

Not each one of the individuals who meander are lost;

The old that is solid does not wilt,

Profound roots are not come to by the ice.

From the fiery debris a fire should be woken,

A light from the shadows should spring;

Restored should be edge that was broken,

The crown less again might be above all else."

Kaua e mate wheke mate ururoa
Don't die like a octopus, die like a hammerhead shark
Octopus are renown for their lack of resistance when being captured, however a hammerhead shark will fight bitterly to the end, to the point that when you fillet it fresh, its meat quivers. Commonly used to encourage someone not to give up, no matter how hard the struggle is.

Kev I have no idea who came up with this good thought. I am not sure where I first heard this thought on life.I think Doug has found it's origins. My older sister who is twelve years older than me went to school with Quakers and maybe I heard it from her. A friend of mine was brought up in the United States Amish but he left it when he became a man Imight have got the saying  from him.

My mother was a bit of a case when I was a kid, on my way out to play she once told me "you come home here dead and I'll kill you" ah the good old days?

Re: Inspirational Quotes

Those last two are solid gold ... great laughs. My late Dad had a few to illustrate how he felt about someone or something:

1) Two good friends:  "Closer than bark to a tree."

2) A stupid person:   "He's got delusions of adequacy."

3) A chewy steak:   "Tougher than a boiled owl."

4) An immature person:   "I wonder what he'll be when he grows up?"

5) A lazy person:   "Not enough ambition to fart downwind from himself."

Re: Inspirational Quotes

love that last one TF.

my dad was a lorry driver and during school holidays i'd go with him for a day out, so when we got home one night he spotted a young girl in a mini skirt and out of the blue he says; mae goese honna mind lan i penol hi, roughly translated from the Welsh; that girls legs go all the way up to her backside, or words to that effect

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

I don't remember where I first heard it but I used the phrase for the "hook" in one of the songs I wrote several years ago.

My youngest son also has a few lines that make me grin:

1) An annoying person:   "He has a very punchable face."

2) A clueless person:   "Even if you didn't explain anything to him, he still wouldn't get it."

3) About "All Star" games:   "They're just ways for leagues to get money from non sports fans."
