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!

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...
