angleigh Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I'm always looking for inspiration for new quotes or saying to put into a kit. So what are some of your favorites you'd like to maybe see in a kit some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-M Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I like quotes about the sea. Here are a few other ones I like: No day is over if it makes a memory. Memories keep those we love close forever. Dance like nobody is watching. A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishrose Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 The one I use over and over (must be my age!) Life's too short to - peel grapes (or whatever) Can't think how it would work in a collection though, unless you turn it into a positive (Life is short - eat cake (or whatever). I'm sure you'd find a way to make it work Angie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boys just opened their first checking account since they started working this summer. So I've had this conversation many times this last month. "just because the ATM will give you money doesn't mean it's there" UGH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsoarty Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Courage doesn't mean you don't get afraid. Courage means you don't let fear stop you. Be a pineapple, stand tall, wear a crown, and be sweet on the inside. Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul alive. If you pull that face when the clock strikes twelve, it'll stay like that forever. (My mom's favorite saying when we sulked) Don't stop until you're proud. Be the voice not the echo. If someone tries to pulls you down, they're already below you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida granny Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Smile... you're on camera. Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened. Roses are red, violets are blue; sugar is sweet and so are you. (Can you say that one without groaning? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am always looking for "just the right quote" Be a pineapple: stand tall, wear a crown and be sweet on the inside. Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful. Respect your parents. They passed high school without Google. (isn't this the truth????) Cinderella is proof that a new pair of shows can change your life. I wish retail therapy was covered by my health insurance.

I gotta tell you, Carla - actually so do I! I finally figured out it's because most times when I've heard it said, it's being used as a sort of "deal with it, I'm not changing what I'm doing" (or don't want to)". Kind of a - just get over it.... Which usually isn't very sympathetic or helpful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why I dislike it...the first time I heard it used (and used over and over) was when we were having a deck built in NY. The contractor kept using it and it drove me nuts. Then I heard my cousin use it in a not so nice way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
