Very good words of wisdom. I especially liked numbers 4 and 6! But we should remember them all.
VERY nice list...words to live by.
Mine's up!
Excellent list ... loved # 4.
Happy TT!
i love them all...
mostly 1,2,4,8,11
but #1 is the best... I absolutely HATE it when people say horrible things about the way others live their lives....
I loved your random thoughts...there is some pretty good wisdom in all of them.
I so needed to read those just now. A little insomnia and they just kind of de-stressed me. All of them were excellent, and number 13 was even a little mysterious!
Here are my TT for my week #5...

Great list of quotes! Number 13 is my favorite!
They all speak to me. What a great list!
Very nice list, ICL- excellent choices.
My favorite today is #5. Very good advice. :-)
That is a wonderful list!!! I had to learn so many of those things before I became a good mother.
So many people forget to listen, and think that everyone needs to hear what they think.
Often our children, our grown children need us to listen, be quiet with them and hug them.
Wonderful quotes! Thanks for sharing them! I especially love #1.
Happy Thursday!
Great list. #12 caught my eye first, but I really love #10.
Have a fabulous Thursday!
I think your first statement is my favorite. It took me a long time to learn that one. ;)
Loved them all.
I really should do the Thursday 13 sometime!
Take care!
Great quotes. As for #1, always be consistent. Kids get mixed messages when you aren't.
Thanks for stopping by.
How'bout -- I feel more like i do now then when i first got here?!
Hmm.. maybe not eh?! LOL
I know a few..
#1: Never hate an enemy; for what you see in them that you may not like, you may also see in yourself!
#2: Two wrongs don't make a right; but two rights will always make everything great.
#3: Do not judge people by the color of their skin; but always by the color of their disposition and their willingness to put themselves before others!
#4: Not everyone believes in ESP, but everyone is an empath -- most of us simply don't give a shit to try! Has a movie ever touched you? That your first step to being 'enlightened'
And #5: Life is NOT complicated; people are complicated. People who keep things simple, love one another and use common sense are those that are at peace.
There's my made up wisdom for ya!
So true! So very true!
Loved it!
Stop by!
#3 is very true! My FIL (it was on CNN and MSNBC) has been struck 3 seperate times in his almost 60 years and is still alive. Mine is up now.
So funny! The one about knowing when to leave a party: I never want to leave because I'm worried I will miss something amazing!
I find, the only thing I would end up missing is me making a complete ass of myself!
Great TT!
Great list --- loved them all.
Wonderful list! #8 is a gem!!
Happy Thursday!
great great list.
Lightning can certainly strike twice!
I'm trying to live by #7....I still have trouble throwing away the tings that bother me (and sometimes stepping on them too), but I'm trying to wish all the bad well.
Loved #1 and #8! So true!
Great list!
Very true and wise words all of them, which makes it impossible for me to pick one as a favorite!
You are right! Every parent has their own way of raising their own kids. Each to their own way. As you said some people learn when they get burned. That is why there is a saying "you learn by your mistakes."
Thanks for stopping by.
But I love magazines with ads. That's the whole reason I read some of them.
Ahhh you are so wise ICL.....so wise.....(bowing down before you)...hehe
#1 is a good one! It's not always easy to remain non judgemental when it comes to kids and raising them
Hey I'm finally off! Woohoo! Had to work wed,thurs.
Never fear, I will visit my first day off!
Great words of wisdom, I enjoyed them, and they are so true!
#1 is my favourite too. I always remember some one telling me that all we could hope was to be good enough parents...perfect was never going to happen.
Thanks for the good reminders :)
