kbordson 8 #51 June 5, 2006 Mine is an abbreviated version of a poem that I keep at my desk (and at work) Living Eulogy She danced. She sang. She took. She gave She served She loved She created She dissented. She enlivened She saw. She grew. She sweated. She changed. She learned. She laughed. She shed her skin. She bled on the pages of her days. She walked through walls She lived with intention Mary Anne Radmacher-Hershey'97 Another sig line that I've considered "Forever deaf... behind lips clasped shut." from a poem by Terri Trespicio Wild Side She does not sing opera in her bathrobe and bunny slippers, or eat chinese food under her black umbrella in the rain. She never stays up late just to listen to the sound of midnight, or does a pirouette in the street all alone. She never whistles out her window to passery below, or feverently discusses evil and world wars with the deaf man on the park bench who watches the bird eat bread crumbs. She refuses to let her dreams gaze into the eyes of tall strangers embraciing glasses of champagne. She will not walk barefoot on the grass, So please don't even ask her. She'll just wait for the days to diminish and the passersby to pass by. They will be forever deaf to a song or a whistle that will stay trapped behind her lips clapsed shut.

MrHixxx 0 #52 June 5, 2006 Mine comes from one of my favorite e.e.cummings poems... life is more true than reason will deceive (more secret or than madness did reveal) deeper is life than lose:higher than have --but beauty is more each than living’s all multiplied with infinity sans if the mightiest meditations of mankind canceled are by one merely opening leaf (beyond whose nearness there is no beyond) or does some littler bird than eyes can learn look up to silence and completely sing? futures are obsolete:pasts are unborn (here less than nothing’s more than everything) death,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when -Hixxxdeath,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rookie120 0 #72 June 8, 2006 Mine is a famous, well famous if your into WWII stuff from general Patton. He had a lot of great quotes but I got some humor out of that one. Here is another one of his quotes that I live by when I work so I dont start to micromanage. ***Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goose491 0 #73 June 8, 2006 I don't quite remember where mine came from, but I use it to "sig" any online stuff. I think it's commical and it definately suits me as I am deeply spiritual yet far from religious. I think kind actions and attitude, aimed at perpetuation of the good vibe all but destroy any need for rules and ritual. N My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
