Dale Carnegie made me think of the guy from Oklahoma. I don't know why either, but then I couldn't remember his name and had to look up the OKC state fair grounds name (which I thought was named after him, but it is actually the AIRPORT with his name). I was thinking of Will Rogers because he had ALOT to say back then. Anyway, when I looked him up, I found some neat quotes that he had made famous. (I can't think of quotes, but I can sure look them up!)

Everything is funny as long as it is happening to Somebody Else.
Will Rogers, Illiterate Digest (1924), "Warning to Jokers: lay off the prince"

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.
Will Rogers, New York TImes, Apr. 29, 1930 ***** Isn't that true?! ***** :

I bet you if I had met him [Trotsky] and had a chat with him, I would have found him a very interesting and human fellow, FOR I NEVER YET MET A MAN THAT I DIDN'T LIKE. Will Rogers, Saturday Evening Post, Nov. 6, 1926 ******* I didn't know HE said this. *********






Doesn't that make you think of autumn, with Sunday being the first day? Take care of yourself, Holly! Hope your evening is good and that you sleep peacefully.

Your friend, Trish

Grow up....

thats the last of my rant and all I have to say about it!

Freebubbles, where is your favorite quote? Somehow I missed it while you were babbling about picking on people. It's really better not to pick on someone because of some stupid reason, like you said. What we ALL are doing here is adding some of our favorite (or famous) quotes that we might not have known where they came from, like:
"Should auld aquaintance be forgot, And never brought to min'?" - Robert Burns (1759 - 1796) Scottish poet.

Did you know that the New Year's Eve song came from a Rorbert Burns quote? I didn't. We started quoting famous people on friendship and now we have moved to nature. Come on and join us... anybody can add good quotes. It's fun and educational.

"The only reward of virtue is virtue; the only way to have a friend is to be one."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon, instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars. ~Martin Luther

Yea!!! I found it! I found it! "I think that I shall never see, a poem as lovely as a tree" author is Joyce Kilmer!! Yea! (Freebubbles, I liked your quotes! Especially the one by Martin Luther!)

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
~~~~ Joyce Kilmer

Beautiful!
Trish, you are great as always.

"It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Well said.

Curtains-

This was the only story when Poirot himself commits a murderer.

The murderer was a very smart man. He never committed any crime himself but looked for situations when there was dispute amongst others. He used to then incite one to murder other. He used to do that very innocently and no body could see through the game. Christie at her best.

Poiroit found no other way to stop this other than killing the man and dying himself also. Read this.

"A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

great quote.
