Some quotes.

“The best things in life make you sweaty.”
― Edgar Allan Poe


Beyond work and love, I would add two other ingredients that give meaning to life. First, to fulfill whatever talents we are born with. However blessed we are by fate with different abilities and strengths, we should try to develop them to the fullest, rather than allow them to atrophy and decay. We all know individuals who did not fulfill the promise they showed in childhood. Many of them became haunted by the image of what they might have become. Instead of blaming fate, I think we should accept ourselves as we are and try to fulfill whatever dreams are within our capability.

Second, we should try to leave the world a better place than when we entered it. As individuals, we can make a difference, whether it is to probe the secrets of Nature, to clean up the environment and work for peace and social justice, or to nurture the inquisitive, vibrant spirit of the young by being a mentor and a guide.”
― Michio Kaku

“The Ultimate Answer to Life, The Universe and Everything is...42!”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

This one always resonated with me.

"The man that hath no music in himself, nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils. The motions of his spirit are dull as night, and his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted."

Will i am Shakespeare.

Love those quotes Nom - so bloomin true !

Re: Was that it then?

I find it hard to believe that you can say quite so categorically that you've leaned nothing Robert!

You come across to me as being quite the opposite - c'mon, you must have learned something?!!!

As for me, I learn something new every day but as I grow older it isn't always an immediate "Eureka" moment now - it creeps up you!

Something else always triggers a memory which triggers a recollection and it all falls into place - well that's me anyway! stevmk2
