Selection of Quotes For Your Timeline (1)

I have a huge selection of quotes that I have collected over the years, and I’d like to make them available to you. They are all tailored, i.e. they have never more than 140 characters (including attribution).

I will post them occasionally, in batches of twenty or so. Make sure to bookmark this blog and to come back often. Fell free to copy and paste them into your time line - make somebody’s day!

Two things I’d like to ask you in return:

a. Share them as freely as they have been shared with me and as I’m sharing them with you – a pot of gold needs a little sun to shine.

b. Sometimes it’s impossible to ascertain whether it’s just a joke, a popular saying or proverb, or whether it’s a quote that should be attributed. I have given my best to do so whenever appropriate, but should you come across a quote that I haven’t attributed or have attributed incorrectly, could you please drop a message in the comment box below?

Enjoy!
