Subject: RE: Favourite Quotations From: GUEST,lox Date: 27 Sep 06 - 04:32 PM "A cynic is someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing" Oscar wilde This quote has stuck with me all my life and has been relevant in nearly every circumstance I have found myself in. It has a fresh interpretation in every situation and as my experience and wisdom become deeper so I find more meaning and depth in this quote. It never ceases to educate. Try emphasising different parts of it each time you read it back. It is a good one to remember. |

And very shortly you discover that there is no reason."

Subject: RE: Favourite Quotations From: catspaw49 Date: 25 Sep 06 - 10:55 PM Hi Lin.....That's the final form that Walt Kelly used of his famous quote which appeared in about 1970 as part of the environmental push. However the original was a part of the Foreward of "The Pogo Papers" back in the early 50's when Kelly took on Joe McCarthy. I have always loved the original as well so here it is too! "There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blast on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us." "Forward!" Man, that's just beautiful..................... Spaw |
