Title: Thought for today
Post by: duke3016 on July 21, 2008, 12:59:05 PM
Some peoples signatures seem to contain quotes or thoughts and some are very good. So I thought I would start a thought for today..........

Fell free to embelish on the thought or add relevant ones yourselves.

Even This Shall Pass Away

Once in Persia reigned a King
Who upon his signet ring
Graved a maxim true and wise,
Which, if held before the eyes,
Gave him counsel at a glance,
Fit for every change and chance.
Solemn words, and these are they:
"Even this shall pass away."

Trains of camels through the sand
Brought his gems from Samarcand;
Fleets of galleys through the seas
Brought him pearls to match with these.
But he counted not his gain
Treasures of the mine or main;
"What is wealth?" the king would say;
"Even this shall pass away."

In the revels of his court
At the zenith of the sport,
When the palms of all his guests
Burned with clapping at his jests;
He amid his figs and wine,
Cried: "Oh loving friends of mine!"
"Pleasure comes but not to stay;"
"Even this shall pass away."

Fighting on a furious field,
Once a javelin pierced his shield;
Soldiers with a loud lament
Bore him bleeding to his tent;
Groaning from his tortured side,
"Pain is hard to bear," he cried,
"But with patience, day by day,
Even this shall pass away."

Towering in the public square,
Twenty cubits in the air,
Rose his statue, carved in stone,
Then, the king, disguised, unknown,
Stood before his sculptured name
Musing meekly, "What is fame?
Fame is but a slow decay
Even this shall pass away."

Struck with palsy, sere and old,
Waiting at the gates of gold,
Said he with his dying breath;
"Life is done, but what is death?"
Then, in answer to the King,
Fell a sunbeam on his ring,
Showing by a heavenly ray,
"Even this shall pass away."

--- Theodore Tilton

A great little ditty from the even greater Ogden Nash;

Love is a word that is constantly heard.
Hate is a word that is not.
Love, I am told,
is more precious than Gold.
Love, I am told,
is Hot.
But hate is a verb;
that to me is superb,
and love but a drug on the mart.
Any kiddy in school;
can love, like a fool.
But hating, my boy;
that"s an Art.

If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would now be worth £4.95.

With HBOS, earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50.

£1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5.

But if you bought £1000 worth of Stella one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £214.

So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle.

A word of advice about Rhinoceroses

I worked in London Zoo for 6 months for a builder repairing the old roofs and felt work.

Every day I walked past the rhino field and 1 old rhino stood by the wall and I went over and rubbed his nose

But one day I leant over the wall and he brought his head up and his horn knocked my glasses off. Another inch and I may have lost an Eye.

The moral is make sure they have not moved your rhino m8 into another field before you pat his nose

Now what is wrong with a good old throat grab and a wild haymaker fizzing past a midfield rival"s ear? We are not talking about kiddies running onto the pitch, we are talking about your Keanes, MacMahons, Hurlocks and even your little Dennis Wises.

All this "What about the kids?" And "they should set an example." Sod the kids, we want to see a good old dust up, preferably between a big old bruiser and a spotty teenager who fancies his chances before he quickly realises he had better stand behind the referee for protection.

Or maybe switching the kids attention towards greed is good and Roasting hotel romps may open up better areas for example setting?

Nice one Ger, Ogden Nash rules:

The Terrible People

People who have what they want are very fond of telling people who haven"t what they want that they really don"t want it,
And I wish I could afford to gather all such people into a gloomy castle on the Danube and hire half a dozen capable Draculas to haunt it.
I don"t mind their having a lot of money, and I don"t care how they employ it,
But I do think that they damn well ought to admit they enjoy it.
But no, they insist on being stealthy
About the pleasures of being wealthy,
And the possession of a handsome annuity
Makes them think that to say how hard it is to make both ends meet is their bounden duity.
You cannot conceive of an occasion
Which will find them without some suitable evasion.
Yes indeed, with arguments they are very fecund;
Their first point is that money isn"t everything, and that they have no money anyhow is their second.
Some people"s money is merited,
And other people"s is inherited,
But wherever it comes from,
They talk about it as if it were something you got pink gums from.
Perhaps indeed the possession of wealth is constantly distressing,
But I should be quite willing to assume every curse of wealth if I could at the same time assume every blessing.
The only incurable troubles of the rich are the troubles that money can"t cure,
Which is a kind of trouble that is even more troublesome if you are poor.
Certainly there are lots of things in life that money won"t buy, but it"s very funny --
Have you ever tried to buy them without money?

When you"re away, I"m restless, lonely,
Wretched, bored, dejected; only
Here"s the rub, my darling dear
I feel the same when you are near.

Life is like a bad margarita with good tequila, I thought as I poured whiskey onto my cornflakes and prepared to face a new day.

It was in July 2008 that I started this thread and it has had over 13,000 views, which, quite frankly is amazing. I am off on holiday for two weeks after the July Fest and have been doing some thinking.

It is getting harder to come up with thoughts (it's an age thing) and it is with great reluctance that I will be posting my final thought on July 10th 2009.

Many thanks to all who have taken time to read the drivel and I hope some of them made you giggle a little.

Time for something new
