George Carlin quotes of the week

This week’s quotes of the week come from George Carlin. ‘”I am” is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that “I do” is the longest sentence?’ “Women like silent men, they think they’re listening.” “The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, ...

Hacky-sack hat 1

Winston Churchill quotes of the week

This week’s quotes of the week come from Winston Churchill and they illustrate the mood I’m in this evening. “History will be kind to me for I intend to write it”. “Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides ...
