Answer 1

life is short but wide live it to the fullest.

Answer 2

My all-time favorite is:

Everything happens for a reason. So whatever happens, happens.

Or,

Life is short.

So live it up, drink it down, laugh it off, have fun, forget all the bs, avoid the drama, and have no regrets, Because at one point of your life, this is all you wanted.

Answer 3

Life's a smorgasbord, but you only get to make one trip. You have to fill up your plate and stuff a few rolls in your shirt.

*** Ed, I have never seen that definition of a Veteran before, and don't expect I will ever see a better one.  <salute>

Answer 4

never, never, never, give up.

(i forgot who said this)

My motto is to "enjoi life" so thats how i live)

Answer 5

Life is like a blanket too short.  You pull it up and your toes rebel, you yank it down and shivers meander about your shoulder; but cheerful folks manage to draw their knees up and pass a very comfortable night.

Life is like a coin.  You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once.

Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.

Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.

Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself.

Life was a damned muddle - a football game with everyone offside and the referee gotten rid of - everyone claiming the referee would have been on his side.

Life may have no meaning.  Or even worse, it may have a meaning of which I disapprove.

Life is a compromise of what your ego wants to do, what experience tells you to do, and what your nerves let you do.

Answer 6

what lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us

there's one thing that's always sure about life...it goes on

be strong now, things will get better.  it might be stormy now but it can't rain forever

friends are like potatoes, if you eat them...they die

don't follow in my footsteps, i run into walls

life's a b*tch

those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind

sometimes we build walls to see who cares enough to break them down

everything happens for a reason

humans are like slinkeys.  basically useless...but so funny to watch them fall down the stairs

life is like a broken mirror.  it is better to leave it broken then to hurt yourself trying to fix it

whatever is meant to be will work out perfectly

the worst way to miss someone is sitting right by them and knowing you can't have them

here's to the future cuz i'm done with the past

laugh it all off.  life's too short for drama

  When in England at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of 'empire building' by George Bush.  He answered by saying, 'Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return was enough to bury those that did not return.'

Then there was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American.  During a break one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, 'Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims.  What does he intended to do, bomb them?'  A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly, 'Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000

people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck.  We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?'

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French ; admiral suddenly complained that, 'whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English.' He then asked, 'Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?' Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, 'Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German.'

A group of Americans, retired teachers, recently went to France on a tour.  Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane..  At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry o n. 'You have been to France before, monsieur?' the customs officer asked sarcastically. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.  'Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.' The American said, 'The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it.'   'Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France !' The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, 'Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in '44 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to.'

What Is a Veteran?

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.'  That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today, who no longer understand that fact.
