Great Quote Thread

[BBelleADPi]

This thread will be one where we post great quotes that we come across. They can be humorous, inspirational, thought-provoking-whatever!! You know, things that speak to you in one way or another. If you know the author, please credit him/her, if not, don't worry about it. If you're not sure, don't worry, we're not going to go research it!

(Slight aside: One of the most memorable things about our preferential YEARS ago was this: the kitchen walls of the beautiful Southern mansion that we held preff in were COVERED with quotes that meant something to the woman of the house. Some were typed, some printed, and some clipped from newspapers (this was long before the ease of the internet!). I'll never forget that sight-some were even taped above the doorway as you walked into the kitchen!)

So, I'll start with a few.

What would men be without women?
Scarce, sir .. mighty scarce. ~Mark Twain

I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered.
But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue.
"No good in a bed, but fine against a wall."
~Eleanor Roosevelt
