Any Words of Wisdom Out There?

Don't you just love reading some quote that really seems to nail what life is all about? I like the funny ones and the ones that really make you think. Here are a couple that I have just recently read:

"Keep a clear eye toward life's end. Do not forget your purpose and destiny as God's Creature. What you are in His sight is what you are and nothing more. Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take nothing you have received...but only what you have given; a full heart enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage."
St. Francis

"Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future."
Annonymous

"Exercise is a dirty word. Every time I hear it, I wash my mouth out with chocolate!"
Annonymous


Please feel free to share any of your favorites - the rowdy group at our local Assisted Living facility that I have been reading to for the last 2 plus years loves 'em!

S, The Surgery that left you ugly..

"When I found the skull in the woods, the first thing I did was call the police. But then I got curious about it. I picked it up, and started wondering who this person was, and why he had deer horns."

"Maybe in order to understand mankind we have to look at that word itself. MANKIND. Basically, it's made up of two separate words "mank" and "ind." What do these words mean? It's a mystery and that's why so is mankind."

"If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them."

"I hope if dogs ever take over the world and they choose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas."

"Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant. It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just trampling and eating everything they see."

If my decomposing carcass helps nourish the roots of a juniper tree or the wings of a vulture--that is immortality enough for me. And as much as anyone deserves.
