The following exchange between a good friend and I made us both laugh, so....here it is...
me:- 'Today is a good day to die' - Tribal saying
her:- "The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working when you get up in the morning, and doesn't stop until you get to the office."
-- Robert Frost
me:- 'Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.' - Aristotle
her:- "Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all."
- Sam Ewing
me:- 'Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing' - Ab Lincoln
her:- "I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."
E. B. White
me:- 'The taxpayer - that's someone who works for the federal government, but doesn't have to take the civil service exam.' - Ronald Reagan
her:- "And he gave it for his opinion, that whoever could make two ears of corn, or two blades of grass, to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country, than the whole race of politicians put together."
Jonathan Swift
me:- 'Every two years, the American politics industry fills the airwaves with virulent, scurrilous, wall to wall character assassination of nearly every political practitioner in the country - and then declares itself puzzled that America has lost trust in them (politicians).' - Charles Krauthammer
her:- "This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer."
- Will Rogers
me:- 'Politics: A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.' - Ambrose Bierce
her:- "The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy."
- Woodrow Wilson
and
"Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them."
- Francesco Guicciardini
Our conversation had me smiling for hours...thank you.
:D
