Today's Words of Wisdom - September 1, 2015

Today is the birthday of the following people:


Lily Tomlin (1939 - ):
“When I was growing up I always wanted to be someone. Now I realize I should have been more specific.” 

and
“I said "Somebody should do something about that." Then I realized I am somebody.” 

and
“I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.”




Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 – 1950):
“You are here for but an instant, and you mustn't take yourself too seriously.”




Arvonne Fraser (1925 - ):
“I like the feminists who [they] calls excessive. They make me look respectable, and they'll make life better for my granddaughter."




Ann Richards (1933 – 2006):

“The public does not like you to mislead or represent yourself to be something you're not. And the other thing that the public really does like is the self-examination to say, you know, I'm not perfect. I'm just like you. They don't ask their public officials to be perfect. They just ask them to be smart, truthful, honest, and show a modicum of good sense.”




C.J. Cherryh (1942 - ):
“It is perfectly okay to write garbage--as long as you edit brilliantly.”
