"More Fun Stuff"

Last week, I shared a number of witty quotes that I have gleaned from several months of reading. Several of you enjoyed them, so I thought I would pass on a few more.

Age

Don't laugh at youth for his affectations; he is only trying on one face after another to find his own. (Logan Pearsall Smith)


As a white candle in a holy place, so is the beauty of an aged face. (Joseph Campbell)


There's many a good tune played on an old fiddle. (Samuel Butler)


We cannot live in the afternoon of life according to the program of life's morning. (Carl Jung)

Sports

Football combines the two worst features of modern American life. It's violence punctuated by committee meetings. (George Will)


A tie game is like kissing your sister. (Hugh Daugherty)


Trying to sneak a fastball past Hand Aaron was like trying to sneak the sun past a rooster. (Curt Simmons)


Cricket is baseball on Valium. (Robin Williams)

Life

Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum. (Oliver Wendell Holmes)


Life is no cleaner than your kitchen. If you mean to cook your dinner, you must expect to soil your hands. The real art is getting them clean again. (Honore de Balzac)


I would rather think of life as a good book. The more you get into it, the more it begins to come together and make sense. (Harold Kushner)


Life is the childhood of our immortality. (Johann Von Goethe)

Love

Love is friendship set to music. (Joseph Cossman)


One of the best things about love--the feeling of being wrapped, like a gift, in understanding. (Anatole Broyard)


Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling common sense. (Helen Rowland)


To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides. (David Viscott)


God is love. Those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them. (1 John 4:16)

I hope these quotes will lead you into thoughts of gratitude as we prepare to deliver food to several thousand families who are struggling this year. I appreciate the excellent leadership of Brent Howell in the process, and I look forward to serving with you next Tuesday (after leading our county commissioners in prayer).

I'll see you on Sunday!
