when I have forgotten something or messed up I am often heard to say....I had a stroke you know!....although it's true, it is meant in a lighthearted way.
Another one that I say alot especially to my kids....I am always right, even when I am wrong I am still kinda right!
My favourite quote is
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind _Gahndie

I'm a "quote-aholic"...Love the darned things! :lol:
People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors" ~Burke~
Love is not blind. It sees more and not less, but because it sees more it is willing to see less. ~Will Moss~
When she'd see young lovers kissing or groping each other in public, my mama would sarcastically say, "Ain't love grand?" and I can still hear her voice saying "Pretty is as pretty does"
My daddy had some more...uhmmm...crude ones that I won't repeat here, but some of them still make me smile to think about. ;)
The one that I keep telling myself lately when things aren't going the way I'd like for them to, "Who's going to give a damn 20 years from now?"
There's also the prayer:
Dear Lord,
I pray for Wisdom to understand my man
Love to forgive him
And Patience for his moods
Because Lord, if I pray for strength, I'll beat
him to death.

I have a couple of things I say too:
Just because I have pain, doesn't mean I need to be one...
Look for the "silver lining" in all things, even tragedies...
What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger...
