The
4th of July by Marcia G. Phyfer |
1. Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass; it's about learning how to dance in the rain.
2. Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened.
3. Never ruin an apology with an excuse.
4. The nicest thing
about the future is that it always starts tomorrow.
5. Money will buy
a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail.
6. If you don't
have a sense of humor, you probably don't have any sense at all.
7. Seat belts are
not as confining as wheelchairs.
8. A good time
to keep your mouth shut is when you're in deep water.
9. How come it
takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager
who wants to stay out all night?
10. Business conventions
are important because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate
without.
11. Why is it that
at class reunions you feel younger than everyone else looks?
12. Scratch a cat
and you will have a permanent job.
13. No one has
more driving ambition than the boy who wants to buy a car.
14. There are
no new sins; the old ones just get more publicity.
15. There are
worse things than getting a call for a wrong number at 4 AM. It could be a
right number.
16. No one ever
says 'It's only a game.' when their team is winning.
17. I've reached
the age where the happy hour is a nap.
18. Be careful
reading the fine print. There's no way you're going to like it.
19. The trouble
with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size bucket.
20. Do you realize
that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around
with tattoos? (And rap music will be the Golden Oldies!)
21. Money can't
buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Corvette than
in a Yugo.
22. After 60, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead!
23. Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the ones who mind, don't matter.
24. Happiness is a voyage, not a destination, there is no better time to be happy than... NOW
AGES ....

Night".

doing and wave back.

I've
learned that just when I get my room the way I like it, Mom makes me clean
it up again.
Age 12
I've
learned that if you want to cheer yourself up, you should try cheering someone
else up.

need to cast blame on others.
