HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY WdC Welcome to Words, Wonderful Words. It is great to see you here! The purpose of this activity forum is to share our favorite famous quotes, phrases, and lines of poetry. I often see words arranged in unique and clever ways. Creativity abounds at WdC. What words or phrases have you seen that piqued your interest? Have you written some? What are they? "...painting words..." 8/20/24 "A giant tree stump of a man emerged." 8/2/24  QUOTE OF THE DAY:  "If you look at what you have in life, you'll always have more. If you look at what you don't have in life, you'll never have enough." ~Oprah Winfrey First a piece of trivia new to me: Her first name on her birth certificate is Orpah after the name of a woman in the Bible. It was mispronounced so much she legally changed it to Oprah. Spelled backwards, Harpo, is what she named her production company. She won a full scholarship to Tennessee State University upon winning the title of Miss Black Tennessee. She almost finished when she took a job in television and the rest is history. She went back and got her degree in 1986. She wrote and co-wrote books which are inspirational. She shares her life experiences. As of today 10/4/24 she is worth $3B. Quotes “In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.” ~Robert Frost "The Flying Snoll. A lizard with 400 eyes: 200 for distance and 200 for reading. According to legend if a man gazes directly at the face of the Snoll he immediately loses his right to drive in New Jersey. The Frean. The Frean is a sea monster with the body of a crab and the head of a certified public accountant.The Great Roe. A mythological beast with the head of a lion and the body of a lion, though not the same lion… The appearance of a Roe is generally considered unlucky and usually precedes a famine or news of a cocktail party. The Weal. A large white mouse with the lyrics to "Am I Blue?" printed on its stomach. The Weal is unique amongst rodents in that it can be picked up and played like an accordion." ~Woody Allen "Love her, love her, love her! If she favours you, love her. If she wounds you, love her.

One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” ~Albert Einstein “You can always edit a bad page. You can’t edit a blank page." ~J.K.
