Do you have an inspiring or favorite quote to share?

“You don’t get to my age, 80 years and 28 days, ‘acting a fool’ “
Learned from my elders.

Have you thought about putting all your favorite quotes together in a little booklet to give people?

My son is our family’s achievist and is doing some of that work.

From Texas:
“That dawg won’t hunt!”

"Human being cannot live in a condition of emptiness for very long: if he is not growing Toward something, he does not merely stagnate; the pent-up potentialities turn into morbidity and despair and eventually into destructive activities." Rollo May, Existential Psychologist, authored many books including this written in his 5 decade old book, Man's Search for Himself, I think it explains a lot our problems of the day especially overdose drug abuse deaths and 'deaths of despair'

“Simple pleasures for a simple man.”

This is not from anyone famous, I just came across it and thought "how true " .
A healthy person ,is one who has not been properly screened.
I do have another one, but, it remains hidden , however ,when I do find it ,I will let you know

hey there captboat!
Could you explain the meaning of "That dawg won't hunt!" for us non-Texans? Seems like it could be really funny! and your contributions are always worthwhile.

I’m honored and flattered.
“That dawg won’t hunt” means your initial proposal is woefully inadequate, you didn’t bring your “A” game, you are obviously out of your league, or maybe you didn’t know you are now playing in the “big leagues”.
Chose one…hope this helps the non-Texans.
(btw, I am not an official Texan, even though I have lived here for a while)

& @annewoodmayo - sometimes I wish we had a 🤣 button! I am a transplant to Texas, but my Grandad was from Iowa, so I have heard this my whole life!
