09/12/2024 by

Today I thought it might be amusing to explore some of the many quotes by Woody Allen. A man with a ready supply of witty one-liners that are always guaranteed to raise a smile.

As many readers will know, Woody Allen is an American film director, writer, actor, and comedian whose career spans more than six decades and multiple Academy Award-winning films.

He began his career writing material for television in the 1950s, and he’s written several books, as well as humorous pieces for the magazine The New Yorker.

Woody Allen has developed a monologue style of comedy, rather than traditional jokes, and his stage persona is that of an insecure, intellectual, fretful nebbish.

In 2004, Comedy Central ranked Woody Allen fourth on a list of the 100 greatest stand-up comedians, while a UK survey ranked Woody Allen the third-greatest comedian.

Anyway, here are 31 amusing quotes by Woody Allen and I hope you enjoy them all.

17 amusing quotes by Bob Hope to raise a smile

09/11/2024 by

Today I thought exploring some quotes by the late, great, Bob Hope would be interesting. Always the funny man with a ready wit.

If you’re not quite old enough to remember him now, Bob Hope was one of the biggest stars in the golden age of American entertainment.

In many ways, the quintessential, proud American, Bob Hope was born in 1903 in Eltham, southeast London. His family moved to the United States when he was aged four and he grew up near Cleveland, Ohio.

He began his career in show business in the early 1920s, initially as a comedian and dancer on the vaudeville circuit, before acting on Broadway.

Bob Hope began appearing on the radio and in films starting in 1934.

He was known for his comedic timing, specializing in one-liners and rapid-fire delivery of jokes that were often self-deprecating and he helped establish modern American stand-up comedy.

Bob Hope was active in public life until 1998 but, sadly, died at home on July 27, 2003, at the age of 100.

A successful man by any measure, and successful people are always worth listening to.

So here are 17 quotes by Bob Hope, that are amusing and reflect the humour of his era.

Enjoy them all and feel free to share them with your friends.

Quotes by Bob Hope

  1. They’ll always be an England, even if it’s in Hollywood.
  2. You never get tired unless you stop and take time for it.
  3. Bigamy is the only crime where two rites make a wrong.
  4. I love to go to Washington if only to be near my money.
  5. Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
  6. You know you’re getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
  7. I don’t feel old. I don’t feel anything till noon. That’s when it’s time for my nap.
  8. I’ve always been in the right place and time. Of course, I steered myself there.
  9. I do benefits for all religions. I’d hate to blow the hereafter on a technicality.
  10. A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don’t need it.
  11. I grew up with six brothers. That’s how I learned to dance. Waiting for the bathroom.
  12. If you haven’t got any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.
  13. She said she was approaching forty, and I couldn’t help wondering from what direction.
  14. I have a wonderful make-up crew. They’re the same people restoring the Statue of Liberty.
  15. A sense of humour is good for you. Have you ever heard of a laughing hyena with heartburn?
  16. I have seen what a laugh can do. It can transform almost unbearable tears into something bearable, even hopeful.
  17. When we recall the past, we usually find that it is the simplest things, not the great occasions, that in retrospect give off the greatest glow of happiness.

21 amusing quotes about earning a living

09/10/2024 by

Today, I have a collection of amusing quotes about earning a living and reflecting on the nature of work and money.

Most of us have no choice but to do whatever’s necessary to pay our bills and put bread on the table.

Yes, it can be rewarding but sometimes we must question whether the stress of work is worth it.

The easiest way to deal with stress is through humour, so here is my take on work and money in 21 quotes.

Earning a living can be a challenge, but it doesn’t do to take any of it too seriously.

I hope some of these quotes resonate with you, dear reader. Enjoy them all.

Quotes about earning a living (1-10)

Yes, I’m sick. Sick of work.

The best part of my job is a chair that swivels.

Money isn’t everything but try living without it.

I can’t afford to get sick. I’m far too busy at work.

Money talks, of course, but mine mostly just says goodbye.

Yes, I have a sense of purpose. My purpose is a life of leisure.

I work not because I want to but because I don’t have any choice.

Money can’t buy happiness, but it can provide a comfortable misery.

The part of my working day that I look forward to most is going home.

I’m not driven by a love of money; I’m driven by the fear of being poor.

Quotes about earning a living (11-21)

I’m a self-made man. I started out with nothing, and I’ve still got nothing.

They say having money brings its own problems but so does not having money.

I’ll have enough income when I’m earning at least a penny more than I can spend.

They say having money is stressful but I find not having money is even more stressful.

I thought I wanted a career but now I realise all I really wanted was enough money to do as I please.

This morning, my boss said, make sure you have a good day. So, I went home, and I had a wonderful day.

If I had to choose between a life with money or a life without, then it’s a no-brainer. Show me the money.

We were poor but we were happy. Well, that’s not quite true. We weren’t happy exactly, but we were poor.

I’m on neither your side nor their side. I’m on my side. Looking after my own interests because no one else will.

Given a choice between affluence and poverty, I’d choose affluence, if only to satisfy my desire to live comfortably.

Careers are a wonderful thing. So far, mine has taken my earning capacity from really struggling to pay my bills to just about managing to pay my bills.

Please share this post:

So dear reader, were these quotes about earning a living as amusing as you’d hoped? Some, perhaps?

When you share, everyone wins.

21 Quotes by Oprah Winfrey that’ll inspire you

09/06/2024 by

True fame implies universal recognition. You’re only famous when your photograph could be shown to anyone, anywhere and they would be able to identify you immediately. One such person is Oprah Winfrey.

She doesn’t need any introduction but for anyone who’s spent the past 25 years living life in complete seclusion on another planet, let me tell you she’s an American media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer and philanthropist.

A very smart lady, she’s someone who would be regarded as successful by any measure. And let’s face it, it’s always worth listening to successful people. Whatever worked for them may work for us.

So here are 21 quotes by Oprah Winfrey.

There’s plenty of good advice here I’m sure you’ll agree.

Quotes by Oprah Winfrey (1-10):

  1. Facing the truth really will set you free.
  2. Where there’s no struggle, there’s no strength.
  3. Excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism.
  4. You can have it all. You just can’t have it all at once.
  5. Don’t let people talk you into what they think is you.
  6. Follow your instincts. That’s where true wisdom manifests itself.
  7. Surround yourself only with people who are going to lift you higher.
  8. The thing you fear most has no power. Your fear of it is what has the power.
  9. My idea of heaven is a great big baked potato and someone to share it with.
  10. Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.

Quotes by Oprah Winfrey (11-21):

  1. Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
  2. You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job and not be paid for it.
  3. Even if you flippin’ fries at McDonald’s, if you’re excellent, everybody wants to be in your line.
  4. Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.
  5. The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.
  6. Whatever has happened to you in your past has no power over this present moment, because life is now.
  7. Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.
  8. Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough
  9. The challenge of life, I have found, is to build a resume that doesn’t simply tell a story about what you want to be, but it’s a story about who you want to be.
  10. Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another stepping stone to greatness. The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.
  11. Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.

Please share this post with your friends:

Did you find these quotes by Oprah Winfrey as interesting and inspirational as you’d hoped dear reader?

You did? I hope so anyway.

If that’s the case then please share this blog post with your friends because when you share everyone wins.

So go on, please share this post now on social media. If you can do that for me then I’d be ever so grateful.

17 quotes by Salvador Dalí for you to ponder

09/05/2024 by

Today I thought it would be interesting to explore some quotes by Salvador Dalí.

As you probably know, Salvador Dalí was a Spanish surrealist artist renowned for his technical skill, and the striking and bizarre images he created.

He was born in Figueres, in the Catalonia region of Spain, but received his formal education in fine arts in Madrid.

Dalí was influenced by Impressionism and the Renaissance masters from a young age, but he became increasingly attracted to Cubism and avant-garde movements.

Dalí lived in France throughout the Spanish Civil War before leaving for the United States in 1940 where he achieved commercial success.

He returned to Spain in 1948 where he announced his return to the Catholic faith and developed his nuclear mysticism style, based on his interest in classicism, mysticism, and the scientific developments of the day.

Dalí was increasingly an eccentric and ostentatious personality with often quite controversial views.

However, he was an important influence on many artists and never failed to make an impression.

Like him or loath him, it was impossible to ignore him.

So here are 17 quotes by Salvador Dalí for you to ponder, dear reader.

Please feel free to pass them on.

Quotes by Salvador Dali

  1. Let my enemies devour each other.
  2. Have no fear of perfection. You’ll never reach it.
  3. Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.
  4. Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality.
  5. Wars have never hurt anybody except the people who die.
  6. Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.
  7. The secret of my influence has always been that it remained secret.
  8. The thermometer of success is merely the jealousy of the malcontents.
  9. Liking money like I like it, is nothing less than mysticism. Money is a glory.
  10. There are some days when I think I’m going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.
  11. Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.
  12. Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure. That of being Salvador Dali.
  13. Don’t bother about being modern. Unfortunately, it is the one thing that, whatever you do, you cannot avoid.
  14. At the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since.
  15. It is good taste, and good taste alone, that possesses the power to sterilize and is always the first handicap to any creative functioning.
  16. The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant.
  17. Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them.

17 inspirational quotes about leadership

09/04/2024 by

I love inspirational quotes about leadership because we all have the potential to be leaders.

We demonstrate our leadership skills in given situations, where our unique abilities and skill set make us best suited to lead.

When circumstances dictate we can all bring our unique talents to a situation to move that situation forward in a positive way.

When our talents collide with favourable circumstances we can ‘grab the ball and run with it.’ We can seize the day and demonstrate our capabilities to the world. We can put our best foot forward and say, “In this situation, I am the one who is best equipped to lead everyone to a satisfactory outcome. So follow me, everyone.”

You can be a leader dear reader; everyone can. We just don’t always fully appreciate our hidden depths.

In essence, leadership is having the confidence to stand up and be counted.

It’s all about driving you and your team towards a winning outcome.

Here are 17 inspirational quotes about leadership to help you think about what it means and why you have the right qualities to be a leader.

Inspirational quotes about leadership (1-10):

  1. Today a reader, tomorrow a leader. ~Margaret Fuller
  2. Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality. ~Warren Bennis
  3. Leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses. ~Mitt Romney
  4. A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd. ~Max Lucado
  5. The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been. ~Henry Kissinger
  6. Leadership to me means duty, honour, and country. It means character, and it means listening from time to time. ~George W. Bush
  7. Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want doing because he wants to do it. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower
  8. I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion. ~Alexander the Great
  9. A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit. ~Arnold H. Glasow
  10. A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason. ~J. P. Morgan

Inspirational quotes about leadership (11-17):

  1. Leadership is unlocking people’s potential to become better. ~Bill Bradley
  2. A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a moulder of consensus. ~Martin Luther King, Jr
  3. A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves. ~Lao Tzu
  4. If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever. ~Thomas Aquinas
  5. Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it’s amazing what they can accomplish. ~Sam Walton
  6. Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership. ~Colin Powell
  7. Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire teammates and customers. ~Robin S. Sharma

21 inspirational quotes about age that’ll make you think

08/29/2024 by

Today I offer you some quotes about age.

Many of us spend far too much of our time fretting about our advancing years. However, should we? Age is just a number, surely?

Well, maybe! Then again, each birthday reminds us that time is passing.

On the other hand, as we get older we gradually become more comfortable being the people we are.

We worry less about what others think and we concentrate more on simply being ourselves and enjoying life as best we can.

For me, the most important thing is that we make the most of our lives.

I regard age as simply being a state of mind. Only when I lose interest in everything new will I truly regard myself as being old.

As long as I am still keen to learn, have new experiences, set myself new goals and rise to new challenges then I will never be old.

However, think old and you are old.

So choose to think young, constantly learn and test yourself. That will keep you young at heart. And forget the number, just focus on enjoying the moment.

Here are 21 inspirational quotes about age to help you put it all in perspective.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. ~Mark Twain

The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age. ~Lucille Ball

Do not go gentle into that good night but rage, rage against the dying of the light. ~Dylan Thomas

Old people shouldn’t eat health foods. They need all the preservatives they can get. ~Robert Orben
