President's Day Quotes!

Okay, so I'm a few days late. However, I just realized that this blog is one of the few that actually has something they can post about Presidents Day! It's not like we give/get flowers, candy, dates, etc. for Presidents day... but I have a quote blog! Without further adieu... a George Washington and Abe Lincoln quote post (with my own lovely commentary in red)!

Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company. -G.W.

Bad seed is a robbery of the worst kind: for your pocket-book not only suffers by it, but your preparations are lost and a season passes away unimproved. - G.W.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. - G.W.

Experience teaches us that it is much easier to prevent an enemy from posting themselves than it is to dislodge them after they have got possession. - G.W. Nice quote... but my brain is so blog logged that that's the only thing I can think of when reading the word "posting"!

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. - G.W. So powerful... loving this one!

A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have. - A.B. Interesting... but now that I think of it, very true!
A house divided against itself cannot stand. -A.B. United we stand... divided we fall.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other. -A.B. Enough Said.

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. -A.B So true!

A woman is the only thing I am afraid of that I know will not hurt me. - A.B Yes, even our former Presidents know how to have a good laugh! 

I'm sorry to admit this (mostly because people are so outraged by it) but I hate history. Really. It was always my least favorite class in school... as opposed to math, which was my favorite. Anyway, I never thought I would like these presidential quotes, but I'm finding that I actually do! Nice/strange surprise.

Again, sorry for the lack of posts here! I need to get on that, but you see... I'm a procrastinator. Oh yeah, there is a giveaway running at my other blog right now!

Lastly... usually I pick a quote theme and write about quote that relate to the theme (love quotes, life quotes, etc.) Today was different because I actually featured certain people. Please vote on which kind you like best in the poll on the sidebar and that is the kind I will stick with!

Happy Belated Presidents Day! (Does anyone say that?)

Always Laugh When You Can, It Is Cheaper Than Medicine...! -Anonymous

Look at that face! Adorable... it just makes you want to laugh doesn't it?

"Always Laugh When You Can... It's Cheaper than Medicine..." - Anonymous

Basically, I burst out in laughter randomly during the day. I'm the kind of person who laughs at everything. Awkward moments, funny stuff, not-so funny stuff, you get the picture. The quote is so right: when you are sad a good laugh really does lift your spirits.

Whenever I get into a fight with someone, I usually cry. Then, when we make up, we always end up laughing. It works!

Thanks for reading!

P.S: Sorry I NEVER post on this blog! I'm too busy with my other blog, Faithful Always. (This is more of a side job...!) I'll try to be a more frequent blogger! I think I'll post something on Valentine's Day...


"Laugh often, dream big, reach for the stars!" -Anonymous (as were all the quotes this post! Come on people, don't you want some credit for your work?)

Life is short. Eat dessert first! - Jacques Torres

"Life is short. Eat dessert first". - Jacques Torres

I love this quote! After all, doesn't everybody want dessert before anything else? So what does this mean? Well, just what it says! We love dessert right? So that's essentially the meaning. Do what you love, whether that be spending time with family and friends, reading a book, going on an adventure or... even eating dessert! We never know when our life will be over. It could be tomorrow, could be next year, could be in 67+ years! That's why we need to forget about the causalities, the routines, everthing, and just focus on living the way we love to live!

"Life is too important to be taken seriously." - Oscar Wilde

This is your one life to live. When you are looking back at your life in 100+ years, how are you going to feel? This has to be your life motto. Never pass up wonderful opportunities, by being to cautious. This is your one chance... get out there and live like there is no tomorrow because in the end we really don't know if there will be a tomorrow.

Don't forget to truly live and experience in between all of that work and stress. Eat some ice cream, go skydiving, whatever makes YOU happy!

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it." - Ferris Bueller

Is there a way to sum this up any better? Sincerely doubting it! Enjoy those little things in life. Don't just skim over those things that you feel are too insignificant, because one day you will realize those were the most important moments of your life!

"The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed." Eminem

You go Eminem! (Well, with this quote at least. Can't say I'm a fan of his music!)

Is this just me, or do I have some sort of premonition? It seems to me I type a little message about one quote and then I read down my list of quotes and find that there is a quote saying that exact same thing! I swear, there is a quote for everything! Quotes are AMAZING!!!

That's all for today friends! Can you tell what my favorite quote theme is yet, based on my last two posts? I'll give you a hint: it is a word in the title quote of my post... and no it's not dessert! :)

Life's Not About Waiting For The Storms To Pass... It's About Learning to Dance In The Rain! - Anonymous

Life's not about waiting for the storms to pass, Its about learning to dance in the rain. - Anonymous

No one knows who to credit with first saying these inspirational words, but Wow! This is one of my favorite ever inspirational quotes!

Now, what does this quote mean? It means this: Life is not waiting for every bad situation to pass. Rather, it's about embracing all those bad situations and making the most of them!

You have a life, so live it! It's all about embracing life's hardships.

“Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music.” - Angela Monet

No, these two quotes weren't meant to go together, but they sure do!

Those who don't hear the music are the same ones who stand in the sidelines and watch other people have fun. They watch life, they don't live it!

"I'll say it loud and say it proud. I'm completely insane." - Lisa Marie Presley


Maybe we are all a little insane.  But if that's what it takes to live, then by all means I say be insane!
