That last one was also in a Beatles song, too!supergirljennie said:"Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but looking outward together in the same direction."

Actually, this is a lyric from a song written by Johnny Mercer and Harold Arlen. It first appeared in the movie, Here Come the WAVES in 1944, starring Bing Crosby and Betty Hutton. It was recorded by a number of artists, including Johnny Mercer himself, long before Ol' Blue Eyes recorded it.chefkeri said:Love this one! My kids think it's funny

Sorry - I'm a writer and misappropriations are one of my pet peeves. That said, it is NOT meant to take away from the value of the advice at all!
(Another thing that drives me crazy are quotes attributed to movie actors. People often cite Billy Crystal for lines he recited as a movie character that were actually written by someone else. His great line from City Slickers, "Women need a reason to have sex, men just need a place," was spoken by Crystal's character but the line was written by Babaloo Mandel.)

Harrle said:I can't take credit - I saw it on my way home from picking up some of our new products to borrow from a fellow consultant for my show last week... it was on the sign at a church near her house. I thought it was oh so true - it made me think of my Dad he is in construction (not concrete though) and is a very stubborn man!
AJPratt said:Bumping this thread! In case anyone else has any questions about my sig, check pst #19, dated back in June of last year. I thought everyone knew I changed the quotes periodically.
janetupnorth said:Ok, most of my quotes are nice and sweet, but I have to admit there is one that I say in my head sometimes at work that isn't so nice if you say aloud... "You can't fix stupid"
I don't use it aloud by I sometimes use it to remind myself that in some situations, things or decisions just aren't going to change because you can educate, you can train, but.... "quote"
