I know, recently, I became hung up on quotes. They can just be so thought provoking and most often can’t be said better. Here’s so more and I promise . . . this is it.
To love oneself is the beginning of a life long romance. Oscar Wilde
Taxes and life insurance are just about the same thing. You pay out the money, and someone else has the fun of spending it. Unknown.
If you don’t say anything, you won’t be called on to repeat it.
Calvin Coolidge
When people agree with me, I always feel I must be wrong.
Oscar Wilde
We must adjust to changing times and still hold to the unchanging principles. Jimmy Carter Inaugural Address
Only a life lived for others is the life worth while. Albert Einstein
We are always getting ready to live, but never living. Ralph Waldo Emerson
With God, all things are possible. State Motto of Ohio
Time is the least thing we have of. Ernest Hemingway
Excellence is born of preparation, dedication, focus and tenacity; compromise on any of these and you become average. John Chatterton

One must be a wise reader to quote wisely and well.
A. Bronson Alcott
I often use quotes from famous and not so famous individuals in my writings. A question was posed recently on on another blog as to whether the utilization of quotes is symbolic of intelligence and wiseness, or is it a sign of the inability to express your own thoughts in your own words. I suppose this is a valid debate to which there is no end, nor answer. I personally enjoy reading others words, reading about others thoughts and lives. There is so much to learn from others’ experiences and words. Most of the time, I could have not said it better. So, as they say (a quote), why reinvent the wheel. I leave you with a dozen very common quotes used by many regularly in their day-to-day conversations. They are so common, we know their meanings and we don’t question the wisdom they embellish.
-Live and learn.
-Live and let live.
-What’s done is done.
-To each his own.
-The early bird gets the worm.
-Easy come, easy go.
-The end justifies the means.
-Enough is enough.
- Experience is the best teacher.
-God helps those that help themselves.
- Here today, gone tomorrow.
-With God all things are possible.
