699_Egg

Today's topic is Egg.

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.
~ C. S. Lewis

I'm youth, I'm joy, I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg.
~ James M. Barrie

The present was an egg laid by the past that had the future inside its shell.

~ Johnny Vegas

That's the trouble with directors. Always biting the hand that lays the golden egg.
~ Samuel Goldwyn

What is my loftiest ambition? I've always wanted to throw an egg at an electric fan.
~ Oliver Herford

The vulgar boil, the learned roast, an egg.
~ Alexander Pope

A hen is only an egg's way of making another egg.

The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it.
~ Arnold H. Glasow

A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.
~ Bernard Meltzer

Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she laid an asteroid.
~ Mark Twain

If I have to lay an egg for my country, I'll do it.
~ Bob Hope

Patriotism is a kind of religion; it is the egg from which wars are hatched.

It is as healthy to enjoy sentiment as to enjoy jam.

~ Ellie Goulding

I'm the worst person to be stuck with in a traffic jam.

I meet everybody. If somebody invites me to their house and they got a drum set close, I'm going to play, man. Let's jam. I don't care. Get in where you fit in and enjoy the experience.
~ Vanilla Ice

~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

You don't have to carry a designer bag that costs more than a car to look cool.

I always have a Sharpie, because usually when someone asks me for an autograph, they don't have a pen. I carry one in my purse, as well as in my tennis bag.
~ Maria Sharapova

I start from scratch with each movie; I wipe the slate and I certainly don't rely on some bag of acting tricks I've amassed over the years.
~ Christian Bale

What a blessing that God allows a life to come through your body, and then allows you to place that body in a body bag and take it out. I had to say that there's a magnificent something that God has for me to do, to give me that level of completion. That level of experience. It's unspeakable.

Where there is love there is life.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.

An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.
~ Mahatma Gandhi

Spiritual relationship is far more precious than physical. Physical relationship divorced from spiritual is body without soul.

In a gentle way, you can shake the world.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

Miss u Dadi


Old people at home!


How we treat the elderly!


692_Old People

Today's topic is Old People.


Today is International Day of Older Persons. More HERE.

When old people speak it is not because of the sweetness of words in our mouths; it is because we see something which you do not see.
~ Chinua Achebe

You know you must be doing something right if old people like you.
~ Dave Chappelle

I'm one of these children who grew up at the knee of my grandmother and her elder sister, listening to very old people talk about their memories.
~ Hilary Mantel

Both young children and old people have a lot of time on their hands. That's probably why they get along so well.
~ Jonathan Carroll

The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion.
~ Doris Lessing

I never heard of an old man forgetting where he had buried his money! Old people remember what interests them: the dates fixed for their lawsuits, and the names of their debtors and creditors.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero

I want to sit with 80- and 90-year-old people more than anyone. They have played this game before. Not one of them has told me, 'I wish I had more money.'
~ Gary Vaynerchuk

I'm passionate about old people because I am one myself.
~ Len Goodman

Clown

I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.

~ Steven Wright

Dare to wear the foolish clown face.
~ Frank Sinatra

I just love making a fool out of myself. I made my living as a clown at kids' parties for about three years.

I've always been misrepresented. You know, I could dress in a clown costume and laugh with the happy people but they'd still say I'm a dark personality.
~ Tim Burton

I'm one of the more pessimistic cats on the planet. I make Van Gogh look like a rodeo clown.
~ Dennis Miller

If by chance some day you're not feeling well and you should remember some silly thing I've said or done and it brings back a smile to your face or a chuckle to your heart, then my purpose as your clown has been fulfilled.
~ Red Skelton
