Say something wise

You can quote somebody else or something from your own head.

I can see this is going to be another one of my smashing popular threads... rolleyes anyway lol


Mine that I've thought up is "The nice thing about religion is you don't have to think. The bad thing about religion is you don't have to think."

So... wise enough. wink

Wise, but maybe in a different way than you meant?

A Poem for Emily

Small fact and fingers and farthest one from me,
a hand's width and two generations away,
in this still present I am fifty-three.
You are not yet a full day.

When I am sixty-three, when you are ten,
and you are neither closer nor as far,
your arms will fill with what you know by then,
the arithmetic and love we do and are.

When I by blood and luck am eighty-six
and you are someplace else and thirty-three
believing in sex and god and politics
with children who look not at all like me,

sometime I know you will have read them this
so they will know I love them and say so
and love their mother. Child, whatever is
is always or never was. Long ago,

a day I watched awhile beside your bed,
I wrote this down, a thing that might be kept
awhile, to tell you what I would have said
when you were who knows what and I was dead
which is I stood and loved you while you slept.

-Miller Williams

I never remember the exact quote, but it's from Hemmingway and it's one of my faves. Something like:

Never hesitate to kiss a pretty girl or open a bottle of whiskey.
