Make the most of the time you have with your family.

Don't forget when you are pointing the finger of blame at someone, there are three pointing back at yourself.

[Metalattakk]

What single most important lesson has life taught you ?

Karia

"But these go up to eleven..."

[crayola]

'Everything louder than everything else!'

Or better

The Unknown
As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.

That's probably the most sensible thing that man ever said. :cool:

US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has won a "Foot in Mouth" award for one of his now legendary bizarre remarks.
Mr Rumsfeld won the prize for comments made at a news conference in February last year which left observers baffled.
"There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns," he said.
The British Plain English Campaign annually hands out the prize for the most nonsensical remark made by a public figure.

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know. "

A spokesman for the organisation, which tries to ensure public information is delivered in a clear manner, said Mr Rumsfeld's remarks were typical of the kind of comments they were trying to prevent. "We think we know what he means," he told Reuters news agency. "But we don't know if we really know."

[jsherris]

Its NOT the colour, shape or size of a person that matters... its whats inside them;)

Sometimes its what is inside them that makes them the shape or size they are

[cuddlepop]

Expect the unexpected.
Trust your intincts.
Never be too quick to judge,you'll never know the whole story unless you've lived it.

Like Angela said there's lots and I'm still learning.:eek:

"We think we know what he means," he told Reuters news agency. "But we don't know if we really know." This is interesting.

My excerpt from Rumsfeld's utterance is logically correct and to make fun of it or award it silly prizes or accuse him of not speaking plain English is to miss the point. The British Plain English Campaign was plain wrong.

When put into context with your second quote, it looks bad, not wrong but just an excuse for his bad behaviour.

Such is the rich structure of the English language.

In the words of Stephen Fry as quoted on tv last night:

'The other man's arse is always cleaner.'

[Ricco]

No matter how hard you work or how many jobs you do....







... your wife will still smack you round the head and say you done it wrong! :lol:

[northener]

Never judge someone by their appearance or what someone else may say about them. Make your own decision.

[divtr]

If you don't ask, you don't get!

[cuddlepop]

Engage Brain before opening mouth
No matter how many times I say this to myself its out before I know it.:eek:

[poppett]

Whatever you do, do it the best you can, and do it with dignity. Dignity and decorum at all times will get you through.

[scorrie]

Don't judge a book by it's cover

I thought this was true until I saw Playboy magazine. Like Ronseal, it did exactly what it said on the tin. ;o)

[sassylass]

Life is not fair.
Everyday's a school day.
You can say anything to anyone as long as you say it nicely.
Treat others as you like to be treated.

I almost forget the most important one, and it's sooo true:

There's a song for every occasion.

[abalone]

Never say yes when you want to say no
