Good Morning! Here are your daily birthday quotations...



Bret Harte (1836 – 1902):
“The only sure thing about luck is that it will change.”

and
“If, of all words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are, 'It might have been,'
More sad are these we daily see:
'It is, but hadn't ought to be.”




Walt Kelly (1913 – 1973):
“We have met the enemy and he is us.”

and
“Don't take life so serious. It ain't nohow permanent.” 

and
“In this dark, when we all talk at once, some of us must learn to whistle.”

and
“If you can't win, don't join them; learn how to lose.”




Martin Amis (1949 - ):
“Love is an abstract noun, something nebulous. And yet love turns out to be the only part of us that is solid, as the world turns upside down and the screen goes black.”

and
“We all have names we don't know about.”




Elvis Costello (1954 - ):
“Was it a millionaire who said, "Imagine no possessions"?”

and
“It's the damage that we do and never know. It's the words that we don't say that scare me so.”

and
“But it's easier to say 'I love you',
than 'Yours, sincerely' I suppose.”

and
“I wish you luck with a capital "F".”




Jeff Tweedy (1967 - ):
“You have to learn how to die if you wanna be alive.”

and
“she's a jar with a heavy lid
my pop-quiz kid
a sleepy kisser, a pretty war

you know she begs me not to miss her”
