Favorite Quote and It's Origin Please

Published

I have seen some incredibly cleaver qotes on this BB. Could I see them (again) and get some feedback on where they originated?

I finally got my one I intend to use. I got it from a fortune cookie the other day. Actually, my boyfriend got it but gladly gave it to me because it was more appropriate for me (okay so we switched fortunes). I am four years older then my boyfriend....

wo hoooooo!

My fav quote came out of my psych book...

I cracked up when I read it because I was thinking, "well, DA!"

Here's my favorite and I'm sorry I don't remember where I heard it first:

"No one ever has 'I wish I'd spent more time at the office' engraved on their tomb stone."

That helps me to say no to things I really don't want to do and spend time with my family doing things I want to do.

When you're a*# deep in alligators, it's hard to remember your primary objective was to drain the swamp.

I heard my dad say that explaining what kind of day he'd had at work, the funny thing is, at the time I think he was employed by the U.S. Postal Service.

And by the way, when is a nurse not a*# deep in alligators...
