He is a legend for his wit and delivery. He seems like a comedian’s comedian. Thanks for this post. Made my day.
Have you ever shared something you were excited about with loved ones or a success you’ve achieved only to be met with a hurtful comment of some sort? This quote summed it up for me and makes a lot of sense.
So, so true. That’s why we have to instill hope in the intelligent ones and educate the stupid ones
“A self made man is about as likely as a self laid egg.” - Mark Twain
I get daily quotes landing in my inbox and this precipitously landed an hour ago. The quote was originally made in the 1970s.
Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
I’ve suggested that the twenty-first be named the Century of Women. Women have the wisdom and strength to lead society in the direction of good, of hope and of peace. In expanding his own non-violence movement, Gandhi greatly relied on women. He said it is women who can teach pacific learning to a world that, while engaged in hostilities, nonetheless thirsts for the sweet dew of peace.
Seriously? Like Hillary Clinton, Madeleine albright, Kackala Harris and the likes.
God help us all!
I’ve never been a big Gandhi fan either. He used emotional blackmail instead of violence. I rather get punched in the face.
Anyway, favourite quote:
Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.
Churchill.
One bad apple don’t spoil the whole bunch. I don’t condemn all male leaders because Bill Gates is male. Generally women as a group have been the first to stand up for the disenfranchised. How many countries have or had women as leaders? Enough to point out that the US never has. I personally think Harris has a healthy laugh. Show me a clip of her kackling that isn’t AI generated. But then that could just be personal opinion or miserable people who hate happy people. I don’t give a flying fuck about her laughter. I want to know what kind of job she’ll do as a president of the US. Every other circle jerk has had a chance.
Lets just agree to disagree on this one girl. Showing clips or discussing the job she would do as president will land us in the doghouse with Fiddy.
That’s fine with me, I’m an open person who is willing to learn about all the angles and opinions from others without losing my own identity or cool. As long as someone has a valid argument based in reality, I’m open to hearing it. Fiddy not needed
“You have no control over other people’s taste, so focus on staying true to your own.” – Tim Gunn.
Probably the most apropos quote for this forum
“That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach.”—Aldous Huxley
Amen to that
“If you don’t know, ask. You’ll be a fool for a moment, but a wise man for the rest of your life.” - Seneca
