pameladlloydOkay, it's not a serious addiction, I don't even indulge in it every day, but I do love other people's words. :)
Today, while scrolling though My Favorite Sayings, Quotes, and Thoughts I found the following:
"The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins." Oliver Wendell Holmes
I grew up with that one, and I've always felt it a pretty good measure of civility. We all have the right to our own opinions and actions, just so long as we aren't harming others.
I was also amused to find these:
"I'm not a member of any organized political party, I'm a Democrat!" Will Rogers
"If Stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out?" Will Rogers
By the way, it's been up for a very long time, but I just discovered tonight that Elizabeth Bear (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
