These are a few of the best I've picked up over the years and having lost a dear friend to depression, as a tribute I'd like to start with 1 by the late, great Robin Williams -

to LOVE, and then we return home"

Great thread, Shai. I have a million quotes but, unfortunately, don't know where most of them have come from.

I do know who said this one, though:

Lady Nancy Astor (to Winston Churchill): "Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea."
Churchill: "Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it."

And this:
Churchill: An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile- hoping it will eat him last.

One for you, NSFB

A recent survey stated that the average person's greatest fear is having to give a speech in public. Somehow this ranked even higher than death which was third on the list. So, you're telling me that at a funeral, most people would rather be the guy in the coffin than have to stand up and give a eulogy.

Jerry Seinfield quotes

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Yep I'd rather be in the coffin than speaking in front of a large group. Sounds about right to me.

[James1970]

While I don't tend to lay about in my silk pajamas all day, as the years go whistling by to a faded, favourite melody, I do find myself consulting, and sometimes caressing, the works of Noel Coward more than I'd ever could imagine.

A few of his quotes that one attempts to live by, mostly for the right reasons...

“To hell with God damned "L'Amour." It always causes far more trouble than it is worth. Don't run after it. Don't court it. Keep it waiting off stage until you're good and ready for it and even then treat it with the suspicious disdain that it deserves...”

“Work hard, do the best you can, don't ever lose faith in yourself and take no notice of what other people say about you.”

“I'll go and see anything so long as it amuses me, or moves me. If it doesn't do either I want to go home.”

“It is my considered opinion that the human race (soi disant) is cruel, idiotic, sentimental, predatory, ungrateful, ugly, conceited and egocentric to the last ditch and that the occasional discovery of an isolated exception is as deliciously surprising as finding a sudden brazil nut in what you know to be five pounds of vanilla creams. These glorious moments, although not making life actually worth living, perhaps, at least make it pleasanter.”

"To lounge in one's pajamas for a day is luxury, for two days, depressing."

Salute to Women over 40.

Andy Rooney says, "As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.

If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And it's usually something more interesting.

A woman over 40 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 40 give a d__ what you might think about her or what she's doing.

Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it...

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. They always know.

A woman over 40 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women or drag queens.

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her....

Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons.

Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman of 40+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress.

Ladies, I apologize."

I reckon the old flannelette pjs would be more comfy to lounge around in all day, James and I think that I'd be over the moon if I ever got one day in which I could lounge around in them, let alone two consecutive days
