A rule for life. When I had to wear a plaid skirt and uniform in school, I stayed warm with the help of lots of patterned knee socks. :)

I've been asked if this was my own quote, and it isn't. Then I realized I had added many quotes here that I found on the internet that had been posted with no accompanying credit so I posted them the way I found them. I've gone through this thread and corrected that. I have only one quote here and my name is attached.

Fun socks can be just that. Fun. If they match the outfit, more power to you. But fun socks can just make the day that much better.

Re: "Quotables"

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. - The Declaration of Independence

"The budget should be balanced,

the Treasury should be refilled,

public debt should be reduced,

the arrogance of officialdom should be

tempered and controlled,

and the assistance to foreign lands

should be curtailed lest Rome become

bankrupt. People must again learn to work,

instead of living on public assistance." -

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life,

and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what

you believe is great work. And the only way to do

great work is to love what you do. If you haven't

found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all

matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it."

"A good dancer is not necessarily defined

by great technique, skill, or ability to pick

up choreography but by confidence. When

you feel the music, it penetrates to your soul.

Everybody's a dancer. The greatest dancer

is someone who is willing to dance, not afraid."
