Such brilliant quotes - I couldn't pick a favourite amongst them. Perhaps when I'm a mother number 1 will resonate the most.
I'm a bouncer! Usually.

Bernard Baruch and I think alike!! I love that top one; so very true.
I like the one about "old" being 15 years older than me. However, I've found that whenever I meet someone I always assume they're within about 5 years of me. The entire population of the world is between 37 and 47...
Wise Words & A Wise Blog.HELLO!
'There's a criminallity about warm beer!'....Me!
Miss D: I think you could be right.
Scarlet: that's a good thing to be.
Judy: I agree - what Baruch says is a universal truth.
Kim: I like the sound of that
Tony: hi! so glad to have you visit:).
John.g : OK! I'll include you next time:)
Real old age is when you have to watch your tongue in case you tell the young the truth.
So here I was, this morning, thinking about what children mean to parents...what getting older means...I live amongst lots of older folks, there's a lot of humour there that younger folks don't have.
I wonder if I can come up with my own quotes.
Mark Twain is one of my favourites, he's caustic...witty...mischievous.
And I adore Tagore.
Anon: I'll have to think about that one.
GG: your own quotes - that would make a great post. Adore Tagore. That rhymmes:)
