Love your picture. Looks like my old cat Sebastian. I'll have to show it to my kitties!
Those quotes were all very good, and some of them I hadn't known. I noticed you chose several that talked about sense of humor. I can only assume you find a sense of humor to be a good aspect to someone's personality, and I couldn't agree more.
If you can't laugh at yourself and the world around you, you lead a very sad life indeed.
So sayeth the Zeus!
Oh I love quotes! I had never heard some of them before -- very nice!
I love quotes! Some I have heard, some I use, and thank you for some new ones!
Happy TT!
Hi, hope you enjoyed your time off work! Great quotes. One of my favourites is "Make my day" for those 'woman on the edge' moments we all have! :0) Another is simply "Be still". It's amazing what you can miss rushing around in the daily hustle and bustle of life.
I love the quotes and this whole Thursday 13 thing...I have my first up today!
One of my favorite quotes is another Mark Twain one:
"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you, too, can become great."
Hi ya'll, just stopped in to check on stuff, going home now...my girls did GREAT on their first day of headstart!!!
Those were some great quotes.
Hope you enjoyed your time off!
