colloquialistic vermouth

in the great scheme of my everlasting Gobstopper (life) there have been of few voluptuous quotes having filled my bosom with brims of healthy bewonderment. Of these quotations, I have here selected the mitest tip-tops, words that suit my current fancy and most curiously puzzle. Be them words contained within the lives and belly of a snake, or the countless daunderings of that smelly thing we call hope, these waterlike quotable phrases have spilled their way onto my blogabyte, hitherto they lay, laid and translated for the feeble eyes and ways of seldom few. Bare with me if you will, and take with you what can you find, wherever else but here, some quotes:
(as you read each quote in the moment would you but not allow its mellow philanthrophy to dwaddle and dat beneath your hat and swim within your hearty heart of hearts?)

The grass is always greener on the other side

If you break it you buy it

If it ain't broke don't fix it

Two wrongs don't make a right

If you love something give it away

I don't care what you believe, just believe it

In youth and beauty wisdom is rare

Do unto others as you would have others do unto you

Indian-giving.

A dream is a wish your heart makes

Where have all the merrymakers gone?

Would you rather...

There is no I in Team

Yes We Can

I have a dream

How do you pick up the pieces of an old life?

Never have regrets

Peace, Love and Happiness.

Live locally, Love globally

Blub big time

And there we have a mouthy verse,
and one bag of chips after.

I just knew this would be a great post just by reading that first line. You saying your life is a everlasting gobstopper is just genius and you also used my favorite word - voluptuous. It's funny how when you read this that a memory comes to your head when you remember them being said to you or to someone else, or hearing it on tv, movies, radio..................................................................

true that, amy. the gobstopper line blows me away. migs you got a way with words, no doubt. these are a random assortment of colloquialisms or whatever you call them...what are they? sayings? proverbs? adage! it's an adage. anyway a good and strange assortment...is there an overall message here?

How about "give it some elbow grease", "the early bird gets the worm", "the lord helps those who help themselves", "don't cry over spilt milk", "a watched pot never boils", "too cute for words", "handsome is as handsome does", "she's just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside", "the grass is always greener on the other side", "life is just a bowl of cherries", "looking at the world through rose colored glasses", love you, you idealist you! Go for it! Life is what you make it!!
