Over the last few years and few minutes, I have come up with 20 quotes that you can use for humour, inspiration, motivation, or nothing at all. Feel free to give me credit if you steal them. Or not. Your choice! If some of these quotes already exist, or some variation of them exist, I had no idea. Don’t yell at me.
If you can’t knock their socks off, they’re already barefoot.
They say if you’re not first, you’re last. Then why do they have a podium at the Olympics?
You can’t force someone to apologize to you.
Everyone is always after the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but how are we supposed to know which end of the rainbow it’s at?
Google will always be there for you, except when you’re writing an exam.
Keep your friends close and your enemies on Facebook.
When the music stops, sit down.
If you come to a fork in the road, make sure it doesn’t slash your tires.
Never talk about someone behind their back, they’ll probably hear you.
Don’t be intimidated by others. They flip their pillow over to the cold side just like you do.
There is no such thing as a stupid question. Just kidding.
When life gives you ice, go skating.
If you’re lost, find yourself, and then find what you’re looking for.
Life is a team sport.
Friends are like a sandwich. If you put too many things in the bun, eventually some fall out.
Yesterday prepares you for today which prepares you for tomorrow.
Everyone has to venture off on their own eventually. Bananas call this a “banana split.” Humans call this “moving out.”
Life is hard; sit on a couch.
Never throw in the towel, you’ll need it to wipe the sweat from all your hard work.
If you can’t remember something, it’s not important.
Love this!

I love your quotes.
However, what if the person that you need to apologize to is yourself? How does one force themselves to apologize to their own self?
If that makese any sense. Now I must change my music because the U2 album that got put on my iPhone is playing -_-

Hey! I just read your second blog post and was about to comment. To answer your question, to apologize to yourself you need to forgive yourself. You have to realize that the things that happened in the past, happened in the past. Every day is a new opportunity to change and be better than you were the day before. I hope that answered it?
Oh man, I cringe too ever time I come across those songs on my phone too.

Yes! I mean I figured that was the answer but I just like to ask people random questions at times such as discussion questions. I like things such as that.

Steve Martin once said the last one. “I can’t remember something, but I guess it wasn’t very important. Oh now I remember,.. I’m radioactive!”

Wow! And to think I put that in my high school yearbook 6 years ago as one of my graduating comments. haha hopefully no one thinks I stole it.

The telepathy must’ve developed while I watched Father of the Bride and Father of the Bride Part 2 countless times growing up. I knew I always liked Steve. Yeah, we’re on a first name basis.

Sneaky… I like it! Go for it. I’ve actually read that Steve will hand out a card when people ask him for an autograph. It says something along the lines of; “you’ve just met Steve Martin, and you found him funny, intelligent, and an all around nice guy.” Not bad huh?

That’s actually really smart of him. Protects him against slander, I presume.

Possibly, and he will still pose with folks for a picture. Nice guy.

Growing up in the 90s, musical chairs was a hit at birthday parties! It needs to make a comeback. Solid strategy, and if anyone questions it just say the soundtrack in your head is on repeat.

Well at least 18 is close enough to being considered an adult? It could be worse. That “how old are you” website that was a fad 3 days ago told me I’m 35 so I have that to deal with… Oh my, kids are so high maintenance these days. I’m probably going back to work at a camp this summer…they already have cellphones at age 10! TEN!

Very true, could be worse. And ohh wow, that what that was! I didn’t get in to that… I wonder what my age would be though… 10? 20? 40? Could go either way lol and tell me about it! I didn’t get my first phone until high school. and it was like a big stupid brick.
