ENEMIES

            If you  want to make enemies, try to change something.

                                                                    Woodrow Wilson

           Woodrow Wilson was an American president. Many progressive changes were made under his administration so I guess he experienced making some enemies. 

HUMBLE

                 The humblest individual exerts some influence either for good or evil upon others.

                                                                                                    Henry Ward Beecher

               Henry Ward Beecher was an American clergyman who was an abolitionist. As  a result he spoke often and left his mark on society.

WINE

      I always cook with wine. Sometimes I add it to the food.

                                                                W.C. Fields

   W.C fields was an actor, comedian, juggler and writer. He was born in 1880 and died in 1946.

DIFFICULTIES

       There  are two ways of meeting difficulties: You alter the difficulties or you alter yourself to meet  them.

                                                                                             Phyllis Bottome

     Phyllis Bottome was an English novelist and short  story writer. She  was born in 1884 in Hampstead U.K. Since she was a writer and not a humorist, her quotes are more about how we live.

     From Sam Levinson we get the humor that we enjoy. However one could debate the topic about children driving parents nutty. It quite often could be the other way. e could find quotes about the joys   of having children.

HUMOR

            Insanity isn't inherited. You get it from your children.

                                                                                                              Sam Levinson          

         Sam Levinson was an American humorist born in 1911. His humor was famous for quotes.  Today his quotes are still funny but dated. We don't use the term insanity anymore but we still get the humor.

AGE

     When I went looking for my quotes I found two things that I had been looking for for a long time.

    I had looked for years for a poem I had started. Well, it was in with my quotes. Then I found a family tree from my mother's side of the family. I had forgotten that I had the family tree and don't remember where I got it from or who made it up.

      THE OLDER I GROW, THE MORE I LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T TALK MUCH.

BLOG CHANGE

        I have decided to make some changes to my blog. I have been struggling lately. Topics seem hard to come by. If I don't have something interesting to say it's hard to write something. So, like I chose my retirement, I couldn't teach the way I wanted to . I knew then it was time to quit.

     So I'm not exactly quitting. I'm going to do a quote of the day. Where did this idea come from? Well yes, I did this in school. Many kids read the quote of the day once they got into the classroom. For me it was  way to get their attention I was always impressed when some little guys checked into the classroom for  quote  of the day and they weren't in my class.

     So once in while there will be a post but most of the time a quote. I hope you like them.

    I will still be  round to read your posts.

    Blogging has been very interesting and rewarding for me.
