The one about being a misanthrope at forty definitely applies to me! Love these quotes!
I feel the same way about that one!

Logged, thank you sir!
You forget my favorite quote of recent:
Ha! There you go! And there’s “Don’t have a cow, man” and “Eat my shorts.”
Balladeer,
Truthfully, though, the quote that woke me was with the one from de Balzac. Still, they got real at the one from Wilde. I should have been satisfied with the one from Wozniak. However, like Fields, I never had the courtesy.
So, thanks.
Thank YOU for the fun comments! So many of these sayings stay with a person.
Not to imply that you drove me to drink, but to just to say that I thank you for the quotes.
Ha! I figured that’s what you meant!
Good collection. “Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness.” – George Orwell”–I learned that one.
Thanks! Yes, that Orwell quote really stands out!
Good quotes 👍 well shared.
Thank you very much!

Good changeup; I’ll take the Oscar Wilde quote
Yeah, that one stands out!
