Guys and gals, if you have some memorable, awe-inspiring, tear-jerking or funny quotes, sayings, aphorisms or maxims that you would like to share, then post it right here! I’m gonna use them as a learning aid to my students.

Any theme will do: nature, God, friendship, love, death, etc.

I’ve posted the first three quotes as of this writing.

“Every man feels instinctively that all the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.”
                          James Russell Lowell

“To love is to admire with the heart; to admire is to love with the mind.”
                          Theophile Gautier

“We always love our admirers, but not always those whom we admire.”
                        Francois de La Rochefoucauld
                          Maxims, 1665

All grown-ups were once children - although few of them remember it.

One of my favorites. Stay young! ^^ Good morning Philippines!

The lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves.
One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves.

Nice one, sleeper.

Here’s mine for today:

“Love is something you use, not something you fall into. You use it as a lubricant through life.”
                                                                      Anonymous

How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways…

If you haven’t done anything right for today, it’s okay atleast you’ve done something
Try to do it again tomorrow, It’s interesting to collect wrong things.
and then once accumulated you could be a good advisor for people just like you.

If then happens then you will have a purpose in your life because you will be able to help people.
Then you will realize, you will start doing right.

Naks! Thought of the day? Why do you need to accumulate bad things before doing the right one?.

Sleeper?
Why is it that you always have an issue on everything that I write here?

Do you have this thing with me?

This thing..? What is that thing?

Thing!
Something that irritates you.

I admit being voicetress.

There must be a beginning to any great matter, but the continuing until the end until it be thoroughly finished yields the true glory - Sir Francis Drake

Do all the good you can,
    By all the means you can,
    In all the ways you can,
    In all the places you can,
    At all the times you can,
    To all the people you can,
    As long as ever you can.

      -> Statement commonly known as “John Wesley’s Rule”

      -> Variant: “Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, to all the souls you can, in every place you can, at all the times you can, with all the zeal you can, as long as ever you can.”

      -> According to Richard Heitzenrater, Professor of Church History and Wesleyan Studies at Duke Divinity School, there is no evidence that John Wesley ever wrote the rule that is attributed to him.

I had a file in college called
“QUOTABLE NOTABLES AND NOTABLE QUOTABLES”.
Interesting you should bring this up Fran.  I had forgotten all about it.

To dream is to become a fool, but to realized it is to become great!
Great Monday! ^^

“QUOTABLE NOTABLES AND NOTABLE QUOTABLES”.

Sounds like spoonerism to me.
