It is unlike you to give up on your explanation.

I did not quite get it myself.

Cheers

Great quotes Jim, one thing is you'll never run out of quotes, if you do you can start quoting your own.

Thanks Donald

If I get to the stage of sharing my own quotes it would be time for me to call it a day.

My thoughts do not always appear on paper the way I usually want them to appear.

Much easier and more entertaining for me to research other peoples quotes!

Hi Folks

I've gathered some quotes regarding Independence Day.

I hope everybody from wherever will enjoy them.


Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed, else like a flower cut from its life giving roots,
it will either wither or die.

                Dwight D Eisenhower.


We on this continent should never forget that men first crossed the Atlantic not to find soil for their ploughs but to secure liberty for their souls.

                Robert J. McCracken


Thy spirit, Independence, let me share!
Lord of the lion-heart and eagle-eye, Thy steps I follow with my bosom bare, Nor heed the storm that howls along the sky.

               Tobas George Smollet


Have a great week everyone.

[Jim Burney]

Hi folks

Three quotes to hopefully get your week off to a great start.


Are you in earnest?
Seize this very minute!
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
Only engage, and then the mind grows heated.
Begin, and then the work will be completed.

           Jean Anouilh


Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I'll show you somebody who has never achieved much.

           Joan Collins


Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.

Hope you have enjoyed these different from usual quotes.

God Bless

Jim

ps The soccer World Cup ends today with the final involving Spain and Holland.

Here is hoping it is a fantastic showpiece event.

[Donald]

Good quotes as usual Jim. I like the Joan Collins quote. Very true. As for the WC, last day. I am opting for the Dutch but have a wee soft spot for the Spanish for some reason. I think the 2 teams have probably bee the 2 best at this tournament I think. Saying that last nights game was terrific, good open football, probably nothing to paly for really. One commentator said on TV, it's probably the only game no one wants to play in, having missed out on the final.

I enjoyed the British Grand Prix, first one I have watched in a while. been a bad summer for Britsih sport, WC, Wimbledon and Grand Prix, no winners.

Jim, I am looking forward to the new season and the 2012 qualifiers. Could you give me a link for your football site. I think I have bookmarked it but just in case.

Donald

[Jim Burney]

Hi Donald

Thanks for your comments.

My son is going to be looking after the soccer site.

Once I find out what is happening to the site I'll give you the link.

Have a great summer.

Jim

[Donald]

Hi Jim,

Thanks for that. I look forward to it. As for the great summer, been raining here for the last week, more or less non stop. Saying that lovely today, first lot of washing out on the line. In the shed on the machine. Will be able to see if the heavens open up. We're supposed to have nice weather coming but when....that's the answer.

Donald

[Jim Burney]

Hi folks

Sorry for the slight delay in this week's offering.

Here we go.....

btw I love the first quote. 



The truth will set you free. But first it will pi** you off.

             Gloria Steinem


The average, healthy, well-adjusted adult gets up at seven-thirty in the morning feeling just plain terrible.

             Jean Kerr


My only true harmony lies deep within my soul, wherever that is.
I know that somehow I am in tune with the universe.

            Mercedes McCambridge


Have a great week

Jim

[Jim Burney]

Wow !

That's a serious number of quotes!

Thank you Jim et al for all these gems - I may well use some of them later on down the line.

I've obviously become addicted to scraping around for these " "s   

Thanks for your comments

Jim

[Jim Burney]

And without further ado we are into this week's quotes.


There is no chance, no destiny, no fate that can circumvent
or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.

           Ella Wheeler Wilcox


Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people. (Any thoughts on this one?)

          Eleanor Roosevelt


For fast-acting relief - try slowing down.

          Lily Tomlin

Have a great week folks

Jim

[Donald]

Nice ones Jim, especially the last one, although I'm afraid that's not me. I'm not going fast enough.

Donald

[Mickey]

Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people. (Any thoughts on this one?)

          Eleanor Roosevelt


Jim

A little truth to that one, I'd say.


Here's one that I like. I find that it applies to folks that
are thinking of starting their own business, whether it be online or offline.

"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be.
Now put foundations under them."

Henry David Thoreau

[Jim Burney]

Hi Mickey

"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be.
Now put foundations under them."

Henry David Thoreau

Interesting quote.
This quote puts an whole new slant on my thoughts that anything built should have a solid foundation first.
