Shaneystar 2 Begone you imposter and shame upon you, to answer questions as we know that your NOT our fellow puzzler who's name contains a A not E as Shakespeare would say You can't fool me,

To aka pixi, I would say I like the saying, from the film, Tomorrow is another day, and we only pass this way once. The ones you quote are very good and lots of depth.

Life is like a roll of toilet paper.........the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes!

My other favourite is by George Santayana......."Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". I say this at least three times a week, my children now pre-empt me if a suitable occasion arises

'There is no normal life. there's only life, that's all. Just life. The rest is relative.

(Doc Holiday from his death bed to Wyatt Earp, from the film Tombstone.)

It's not your blue blood, your pedigree or your degree. It's what you do with your life that counts. :-)
