I'm not sure if I've got it right...it goes something like this:
"A wise man once said, "if you look long enough thru the rain, you will find a rainbow". A wiser man said: "If you're getting wet, get the hell out of the rain"
If anyone has the correct wording, I'd like to hear it...

Life can be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards. Reflect and nurture ( Soren Kierkegaard, Danish Philosopher)
The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook. Again, reflecting. (William James, U.S. Philosopher)

"God don't care where you pray (or go to church), just so long as you show up" ~ Said by Dolly Parton in the movie Steel Magnolias.
It's my favorite quote because it's so true...and despite being said by Dolly, I completely believe in this!

ABIGAIL ADAMS TO JOHN ADAMS
MARCH 31, 1776:
"I long to hear that you have declared an independency. And, by the way, in the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors.
"Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands.
"Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.
"That your sex are naturally tyrannical is a truth so thoroughly established as to admit of no dispute; but such of you as wish to be happy willingly give up -- the harsh tide of master for the more tender and endearing one of friend.
"Why, then, not put it out of the power of the vicious and the lawless to use us with cruelty and indignity with impunity?
"Men of sense in all ages abhor those customs which treat us only as the (servants) of your sex; regard us then as being placed by Providence under your protection, and in imitation of the Supreme Being make use of that power only for our happiness."

"ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country" - John F Kennedy
I like this because it was a time when people seemed to have more of a social conscience.

"As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going."

"The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other son of a b**** die for his." - General George Patton. Because as a combatant, I'd like to come home.
