I apologise for the fact I do not know who said these originally, they're just ones I've picked up from several places. E :)

Y Y Love Y Y

"When you're in love...

10) time is an eternity when you're without them
9) time stops when you're with them
8) the thought of them makes you shiver
7) the sound of them makes you smile
6) when seeing them, you can't see anything else
5) you start to listen to sappy love songs
4) you actually enjoy sappy love songs
3) the smell of them makes you see fireworks
2) you find yourself smiling constantly
1) you'd do absolutely anything, even die, for them... "

"Love hurts; for there is no one who has appreciated a rose for its beauty, without accepting it's thorns."

The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.

Love, not time, heals all wounds.

No one is perfect until you fall in love.

Friendship and family

If you help a relative in need they will remember you the next time they are in need.

Relatives are great. You don't speak to them for years and yet if you ever needed help, they would have to feel obligued to give it to you.

Real friends are those who, when you feel you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel you've done a permanent job.

When the one who dries you tears is the one who makes you cry, who do you run to then?

Misers aren't much fun to live with, but they make great ancestors.

Success os relative - the greater the success, the more relatives.

Life

Life is like an onion; you peel off one layer at a time and sometimes you weep.

Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

Life is 1% what happens to you and 99% of how you respond to it.

Lead your life so you won't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip.

Sometimes the majority only means that all the fools are on the same side.

Hope is when we feel the pain that makes us try again.

Dance like no oneis watching, work like you don't need the money, and love like you've never been hurt.

Reach for the moon and even if you miss, you will end up among the stars.

Dream as if you'll live forever and live as if you'll die tomorrow.

When it comes time to die... make sure all you've got to do is die.

The probability of meeting someone you know increases greatly when you are out with someone you do not want to be seen with.

Experience is a wonderful thing.

Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

If you're being kicked from behind, it means you're in front.

It's okay to let your mind go blank, but please turn off the sound.

Religion

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than going to McDonalds makes you a hamburger.

There are two things I have learned: There is a God. I'm not Him.

A coincidence is when God performs a miracle and decides to remain anonymous.

Maybe this world is another planet's Hell. (Aldous Huxley)

Homer Simpson quotes

Now son, you don't want to drink beer. That's for Daddys, and kids with fake IDs.

Marge, it takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen.

You couldn't fool your mother on the follingest day of your life if you had an electrifies fooling machine.

Marge, don't discourage the boy! Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals! Except the weasel.

If you really want something in life you have to work for it. Now quiet, they're about to announce the lottery numbers.

To alcohol! The cause of - and solution to - all life's problems!

I want to share something with you - the three sentences that will get you through life. Number one, "cover for me". Number two, "oh, good idea, boss". Number three, "it was like that when I got here".

Marge, you're as pretty as Princess Leia and as smart as Yoda.

Step aside everyone! Sensitive love letters are my speciality. 'Dear Baby, Welcome to Dumpsville. Population: you.'

Don't let Krusty's death get you down, boy. People die all the time. Just like that. Why, you could wake up dead tomorrow. Well, goodnight.

Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose: it's how drunk you get.

Lisa, if the Bible has taught us nothing else - and it hasn't - it's that girls should stick to girls' sports, such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing and such and such.

Lisa, if you don't like your job you don't strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's teh American way.

Stealing! How could you? Haven't you learned anything from that guy who gives those sermons at church? Captain whats-his name?

We live in a society of laws. Why do you think I took you to all those Police Academy movies? For fun? Well I didn't hear anybody laughin', did you?

Television - teacher, mother, secret lover!

Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'sir' withou adding, 'you're making a scene.

My favs!

Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

I've learnt that I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.

To people maths is like going to the bathroom. You don't enjoy it but everyone's got to do it from time to time...

If someone makes you mad, it takes 42 muscles to frown, but only 4 to smack them upside the head.

To the world you may only be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anmore than going to McDonalds makes you a hamburger.

Men are like spaces in a car park: either taken or disabled.

We have enough religion in the world to hate, but not enought to love.

We ignore the ones who adore us, and adore the ones who ignore us.
