WISDOM

Over the years, I’ve ended most of my blogs with a joke.  After all, laughter is good medicine.  Yesterday, I was tasked with writing an uplifting article by a reader.  Lately, I have not been a very uplifting sort of guy, so I was at a loss for words.  When I’m at a loss for words, I turn to “The Quote Garden!”

If you’ve never used “The Quote Garden”, click on the hyperlink above and enjoy yourself. Yesterday, I advised that a person with an early diagnosis of Parkinson’s retire and clear their bucket list.  George Burns, who lived to be 100 would have scoffed at my suggestion.  Here’s a quote from George:

“Retire? That’s ridiculous. What does it for you is to have something to get up for in the morning. Now, they say, you should retire at 70. When I was 70, I still had pimples. ~George Burns, 1978  [Burns lived to 100 years, and passed away in 1996”. —tg] Quote Garden

In yesterday’s article, I mentioned gratitude.  One of my favorite quotes from Isaac Asimov is: If we were blind for one day each year, how we would enjoy the other three hundred and sixty-four. ~Isaac Asimov Qote Garden

Lastly, I think the following quotes sum up today’s political BS:

The trouble with the laws these days is that criminals know their rights better than their wrongs. ~Author unknown Quote Garden

It’s strange that men should take up crime when there are so many legal ways to be dishonest. ~Author unknown Quote Garden

So, when you have a little free time, explore Quote Garden.  As for humor:

After God created the world, he made man and woman. Then, to keep the whole thing from collapsing, he invented humor. ~Guillermo Mordillo, in Stuttgarter Zeitung, Germany, as quoted by The Reader’s Digest, 1982
