Here are a 'sample lot' of quotes, that in one way or another, have a personal meaning to me...
"Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive!" (Sir Walter Scott, Mamion, Canto vi. Stanza 17. Scottish author and novelist (1771 - 1832).
I first learnt this one when working with my mate 'Chook'... He was, of course, talking about a past friend of his, but he often recited this and it has sort of 'stuck' in my head. There are times today even when this is oh so very much the case, and I just so wish it wasn't the case!
"If quitters never win and winners never quit, who came up with "Quit while you're ahead?""
Again, I originally heard this one when training, but I have NO idea who came up with it. I just remember as a 14yo gymnast, my coach yelling it out!
"To the world you could be one person, but to one person you could mean the world."
This one is very close to my heart, as I heard it (who's name escapes me...) only very recently since April last year... I just love it!
Of course, Chook and I had a lot of 'other ones' (FUBAR, SNAFU and FIGJAM) and you can use your OWN imagination as to what these may mean, but they were often used when something worked out, something didn't work out and when either one of us need to reinforce one's own goodliness ;)
Now its not long now until I have to pass through Immigration (again) to head overseas... But tomorrow, I might take Macc out for a swim (I just KNOW how much he is going to like that NOT), just like this couple is with their dog infront of the Singapore A380.

The gull looks like he is saying, "What? No Food?"

I needed to hear something like that this morning. I'm having a very bad day and that just taps my depression button. That saying, reminds me that there are people I mean the world to, so stop feeling so sorry for myself.
