GO! Smell the froth & bubble

April 23rd, 2008 by Jim & Em

Thanks to Grandpa Ken of the blog  Social Fix for sending us a few of his favourite quotes including this one:

Life is mostly froth and bubble;
Two things stand like stone:
Kindness in another’s trouble,
Courage in our own.  
                                                           - Adam Gordon (1833-1870)

Feel free to share some of your favourite quotes right here in comments! Froth & bubble welcome.

A great advice for everyone. I am sure all the problems of the world would disappear if we showed “Kindness in another’s trouble,
Courage in our own”

Thanks for sharing it :-)

Better watch out cos the world’s full of it

So, you are a new age hippy? Please share some more of your philosophy on life. You know, ‘pass it forward’ and all that crap, there’s got to be loads more in there.

Jim & Em Says:

It’s all about the law of attraction Mr bread bin -

Keep fresh, not stale!

Strong System Bread Bin Says:

The ‘law’ of attraction? Hmm…. thought it might be, well you got me there.

Strong System Bread Bin Says:

The secret of life is sincerity
Once you can fake that you have it made….

Life is like a box of chocolates …
Full of nuts

“Froth & Bubble” — sounds like a good name for a pub.
I betcha he wrote that while sitting in one.

Rufus’s last blog post..I’m not fucked up, I’m just complicated.

 

Upon this site
with all their might
the fools would have us ponder.
Dimensions all twisting
abilities none existing
and bring forth books for cash to squander.
When asked for proof
they become alloof
as their ‘facts’ are squashed asunder
Sensible folk
realise its no joke
as beliefs give issues over yonder
we guard the facts
chastise the lax
and laugh as they become much blonder.

Freaks.
