Quotations

I really enjoy going to the movies and so do most of the members of my family.  We like quoting lines from movies, sometimes attempting to use the same voice as the character in the movie.   My brother, David is especially good at sounding like and acting like John Wayne.  Several family members attempt to imitate Billy Bob Thornton in "Slingblade" when he is talking about french fries.    One of my favorite quotes from a movie is by Forrest Gump when he returns home to his mother.   My sons often say,  "Mama,I'm home now"  and it always brings a smile to my face when I hear it. 

We name the rooms in our house.......and it's not a big house either.  When my youngest son moved out, I decided to name his old room "the box" after "the box" in "Cool Hand Luke" one of our all time favorite movies.  If you come to visit you get to "spend the night in the box" just like Paul Newman had to do so many times.

Enjoying movies and having fun with quotations, as well as imitations, is one way our family has fun.   We all know that having a bit of fun is great for our overall mental health.   Having a good laugh really helps with depression.  

The other day I came across some really good quotations by famous people.   These are more serious than most of the ones from the theater.  Most of these make you think for a while and many of them offer up great advice.   These bits of wisdom were made by great world leaders.  I hope you will enjoy pondering some of the quotations in The Great Quotes Movie.

    I played the quotations several times.
    What a lovely way to start my day. I
    wish I would have had access to things
    like this to share when I was teaching.
    I think my favorite one today is DDE's
    "A people that values its privileges
    above its principles soon loses both."
    Some of them are shorter, but take more
    time to really think about like "The
    best thing about the future is that it
    comes just one day at a time" by Pres.
    Lincoln.
    I liked reading the blog, too, and
    liked some of the same movies and it may help me pick out some I want to
    request at the new library. I am
    missing the old one like I miss one
    room schools, etc. where you got to
    see people up close, etc. I love the
    color of the new light green chairs, etc. which almost reminds me of another
    quote "Something walls do not a . . .",
    but I go there and miss the personal
    touch. It makes me appreciate our town
    a little more. I admire the new things, but will appreciate the things
    we have that stay dependable and true.

    If different students are willing to have master degree at any field you should order student dissertation and custom thesis. I have done it lots of times. I meant just about dissertations at essay writers.
