mazing things are happening through social networking today . People are connecting to other people and huge amounts of information with just a few clicks . What an awesome time to live .
With connection and exposure to wide-ranging personalities and opinions , I get inspired to improve my life and my way of thinking . One way I have found to do that is to collect quotes and sayings I think are inspirational . Luckily , there are volumes of short , life-changing , motivating words of wisdom on sites like Facebook , Twitter , and the latest arrival , Pinterest .
A few of my favorite are :
C ’ mon Inner Peace . I don ’ t have all day .
You can never be too rich or too thin . Change your shoes , change your life .
Pain makes you stronger . Tears make you braver . A broken heart makes you wiser . And alcohol makes you not remember any of that crap .
You ’ ve probably picked out your favorites too . If this column were being posted on a social site I would post them one at a time and you would comment and give me your opinion on each one . I would reply with the question , “ What are your favorite quotes ?” We would learn so much about each other and become close , long-lasting friends . But , alas , this is the old-fashioned print version where you get my whole , complete opinion arranged in paragraphs , and presented in logical form where it is best for you to read the whole piece before you form an opinion and a response .
Oh , heck , that ’ s no fun . Let ’ s go back to the short one-liners we all love .
Here ’ s some that don ’ t fit everyone , but seem to fit me to a tee .
If you don ’ t have anything nice to say … come sit next to me .
Quotes for every whatever … just for fun !

I wish sarcasm was available as a font .
Revenge … The reason I get up each day .
The first 5 days after the week-end are always the hardest .
Deja Poo – That feeling that I ’ ve heard this crap before .
What about those actual quotes that are attributed to a person , who , by the way , may or may not have actually said it .
“ Some cause happiness wherever they go ; others whenever they go .” — Oscar Wilde
“ Marriage is the chief cause of divorce .” — Groucho Marx
“ The trouble with her is that she lacks the power of conversation but not the power of speech .” — George Bernard Shaw
“ You ’ re just coitusing with me , aren ’ t you ?” —
Dr . Sheldon Cooper
And I ’ ll leave you with my wise relatives ’ sayings . Murphy ’ s Laws are a universal set of sarcastic quotes about life , born out of collective wisdom
If anything can go wrong , it will .
Smile . . . tomorrow will be worse . Left to themselves , things tend to go from bad to worse .
If everything seems to be going well , you have obviously overlooked something .
You will always find something in the last place you look .
You can be sure that you will see all of these sayings on my social networking sites . The reason you may not recognize them is that they will be buried in an unrelated graphic of some kind .
