I come across some thoughtful and inspirational quotes quite often and have recently started to record them so I can read them again when I’m looking for a lift or some insight.  So now I’m putting these in one place so I can share. Thanks to my wonderful friends who often contribute to this list.

Enjoy!

An Obituary printed in the London Times……… Interesting and sadly, rather true

[B – Received this by email ages ago, not sure if it was published in the L Times, probably not, but even so the message is relevant]

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

  • Knowing when to come in out of the rain
  • Why the early bird gets the worm
  • Life isn’t always fair
  • Maybe it was my fault

You call a bathing suit a “swimming costume”.

You call a traffic light a “robot”.

You call an elevator a “lift”

You call a hood a “bonnet”

You call a trunk a “boot”

You call a pickup truck a “bakkie”

You call a barbecue a “braai”

The employees dance in front of the building to show how unhappy they are.

With the Springboks first test this weekend, they play Wales, here is a little tribute from 2009 Tri Nations, the toughest rugby competition there is. Tri-Nations 2009 Update (06/05): SA won 34-31 in a close game. Boks where not on top form but a good game nonetheless. Thanks to Wales for hosting a great game yet again. Match report: Planet Rugby
