15 Funny quotes on friendship that’ll raise a smile

03/04/2025 by

If you’re lucky enough to have one good friend, then you are richer than you imagine, and if you have two then you’re truly blessed.

Friendship is a relationship of equals.

Real friends are people with whom you have a lot in common, especially when it comes to things that make you laugh and those times when you enjoy getting silly.

True friends are people who know all your faults but accept you as you are anyway.

Not everyone with whom you have a friendly relationship is a true friend. Some people are just very good acquaintances.

A real friend is someone you could phone at 3 am when you’re in trouble and know they’d be out to help you in a heartbeat.

Such people are worth their weight in gold, and you should never take them for granted. They’re special, and you should appreciate them being in your life because not everyone is quite so lucky.

Here are 15 funny quotes on friendship that, for me, touch on the very essence of what it all means.

Funny quotes on friendship:

  1. Friends are the chocolate chips in the cookie of life!
  2. Friends buy you food. Best friends eat your food.
  3. Friends come and go, but enemies hang around like a bad smell.
  4. When our phones fall, we panic. When our friends fall, we laugh.
  5. If you have crazy friends you have everything you’ll ever need.
  6. Never let your best friends get lonely. Keep disturbing them.
  7. You have a problem when your imaginary friend thinks he has a problem.
  8. There’s nothing better than a good friend, except for a good friend with chocolate.
  9. Friends come and go, like waves on the ocean, but true friends stay like an octopus on your face.
  10. A best friend is like a four-leaf clover, hard to find, but you’re lucky if you have one.
  11. Laughing is one of the best exercises. It’s like running inside your mind. You can do it almost anywhere and it’s even better with a friend.
  12. I’d walk through fire for my best friend. Well, not fire because that’s dangerous, but a super humid room. Well not too humid, because you know, my hair.
  13. I love making friends. I usually prefer to make them out of plaster and give them funny-looking hats.
  14. Dear Diamond, we all know who is really a girl’s best friend. Sincerely yours, Chocolate Cake.
  15. I hope we’re good friends until we die, then I hope we can stay ghost friends, walk through walls and scare people.

101 Proverbs that everyone should know

03/04/2025 by

There are thousands of proverbs from all over the world. These simple sayings express essential truths and exist in every language.

Most have become clichés, but they’re based on common sense and centuries of experience, and they’re no less valid for their overuse.

Here are 101 proverbs that I think everyone should know.

These proverbs can be very useful when you aim to emphasize a point. So, see how many of them you can work into your conversations today.

Make Money

101 Proverbs (1-25)

There’s no place like home

Beggars can’t be choosers

Opportunity never knocks twice at any man’s door

People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones

Possession is nine-tenths of the law

A nod’s as good as a wink to a blind horse

A volunteer is worth twenty pressed men

Adversity makes for strange bedfellows

There’s honour among thieves

There’s no fool like an old fool

Caesar’s wife must be above suspicion

Don’t get mad, get even

The road to hell is paved with good intentions

Give a man enough rope and he’ll hang himself

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket

East, west, home is best

Every picture tells a story

Everyone wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die

The price of liberty is eternal vigilance

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link

A change is as good as a rest

The proof of the pudding is in the eating

The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach

Faint heart never won fair lady

Fortune favours the brave

101 Proverbs (26-50)

Give credit where credit’s due

Children and fools tell the truth

Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face

He who sups with the Devil should have a long spoon

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

Once a thief, always a thief

Hindsight is always twenty-twenty

If anything can go wrong, it will

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

Into every life, a little rain must fall

It never rains but it pours

There are none so blind as those that will not see

There’s an exception to every rule

It’s better to travel hopefully than to arrive

The early bird catches the worm

Once bitten, twice shy

It’s the squeaky wheel that gets the grease

Judge not, that ye be not judged

Least said, soonest mended

Let the buyer beware

Lightning never strikes twice in the same place

Many a true word is spoken in jest

Many are called but few are chosen

Marry in haste, repent at leisure

Necessity is the mother of invention

Make Money

101 Proverbs (51-75)

Nothing is certain but death and taxes

Oil and water don’t mix

Old soldiers never die, they just fade away

One good turn deserves another

One volunteer is worth ten pressed men

Prevention is better than cure

Procrastination is the thief of time

Rome wasn’t built in a day

Still waters run deep

Stupid is as stupid does

Talk is cheap

The apple never falls far from the tree

The customer’s always right

Revenge is a dish best served cold

The Devil finds work for idle hands

When in Rome, do as the Romans do

Where there’s muck there’s brass

You can choose your friends but you can’t choose your family

You can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs

The darkest hour is just before the dawn

You can’t win them all

No pain, no gain

You’ll catch more flies with sugar than you will with vinegar

Never give a sucker an even break

You reap what you sow

101 Proverbs (76-101)

The Devil is in the details

The end justifies the means

To the victor go the spoils

The exception which proves the rule

If you want a thing done well, do it yourself

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king

The whole is greater than the sum of the parts

There’s no such thing as a free lunch

There’s no such thing as bad publicity

Familiarity breeds contempt

There’s nowt so queer as folk

There’s one born every minute

Time is money

There’s safety in numbers

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it

Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones

The pen is mightier than the sword

Those who sleep with dogs will rise with fleas

Time and tide wait for no man

Tomorrow never comes

Truth is stranger than fiction

There’s many a good tune played on an old fiddle

There’s many a slip ‘twixt cup and lip

You win some, you lose some

Youth is wasted on the young

How to make the most of your future

03/01/2025 by

How to make the most of your future? A question we all ask ourselves occasionally, I’m sure.

We worry about the future because increasingly the world seems such an uncertain place. There are times when it seems completely crazy.

In many ways, the future is uncertain, but then again, it’s a lot more predictable than you might think.

I’m often asked what I think the next 10 years will be like. The answer’s simple; the next 10 years will be pretty much like the last 10 years and the years before that, I think.

Future years:

Think about it. The next 10 years will just be a constant stream of challenges with a lot of problems to be solved.

That’s how life’s always been, surely? And that’s good news for us all. Why?

It’s good news because it’ll ensure that there’s a constant stream of opportunities for enterprising people to exploit.

So we can all make a good living, and all we have to do is focus on those problems we can solve for other people.

Yes, jobs may be in short supply, but there’ll always be plenty of customers with problems to be solved. Customers for goods and services yet to be invented.

If we can all learn to look for customers rather than jobs and make sure we have the skills and know-how to solve problems for those customers, we’ll always have work, and from that, over time, we can build wealth too.

The nature of work:

Work is just doing stuff for other people in return for money. It’s that simple.

Opportunities will always be there, and we can choose to take them or not. For the fleet-footed, there will always be opportunities to make money, regardless of politics and political personalities.

Create your own future:

Find customers you can serve, serve them well, and you’ll always do well.

And it doesn’t matter whether you were successful or otherwise at school either. That’s irrelevant. There are plenty of successful and wealthy people who failed to shine at school.

Skills can be learned and knowledge can be gained at any time in your life.

So look around for people you can help, improve your knowledge and skills as you go along, and gradually enhance your earning ability. It can be done; people do, and you can too.

Make Money

Today’s assignment:

So let me finish with an assignment for you.

Look around for a problem to be solved. Look carefully, and you’ll find plenty of them, I promise you.

Now, who’s the potential customer? What skills will you need if you are to solve that problem for the customer? And once you’ve identified those skills, how will you get them, and by when?

Now think about this assignment carefully.

By applying your unique talents and know-how, whose problems could you solve? To whom could you be an answer to their prayers?

This is how business people think.

How to make the most of your future:

The future’s as bright as you want to make it for yourself. It’s all down to you.

Don’t just let life happen to you.

Start right now and make it happen.

Create a future that’s right for you. Decide where you’re going, set some goals, and start taking action.

Don’t just accept whatever life throws at you; go out and get all the things you want.

Other people do, and so can you. Go on, get started, now!

Make Money

25 thought-provoking quotes about anxiety

02/27/2025 by

Today I offer you some interesting quotes about anxiety.

As human beings, we struggle to deal with uncertainty because it makes us feel insecure, and one of the most fundamental human needs is the need to feel secure.

If we feel insecure, we cannot relax because we are on ‘high alert’ all the time to guard against any perceived dangers or undesirable outcomes.

This can seriously drain our energy and leave us feeling a little nervous and low.

Anxiety is a consequence of dealing with uncertainty.

It’s the resulting stress on our central nervous system. It’s a deep sense of unease that sufferers experience about something that, for whatever reason, really bothers them.

Feeling anxious in times of uncertainty is quite natural.

Yet it can be difficult to cope with for the sufferer because, in the extreme, they can experience panic attacks, a heightened sense of nervousness, and excessive unease.

These feelings may cause physical symptoms, such as a fast heart rate and shakiness. So it can be an altogether unpleasant experience for the sufferer and not one to be underestimated in terms of the impact it can have on the individual.

When people are suffering from anxiety, they need our sympathy and support rather than our judgement and insensitive demands that they ‘snap out of it‘. If only it was that easy for them.

One technique you can use to contain your anxiety is known as Square Breathing. It’s a simple process.

Breathe in deeply to the count of 4. Hold to the count of 4. Breathe out fully to the count of 4. Hold to the count of 4. Repeat the cycle until you’re feeling calmer.

Here are 25 thought-provoking quotes about anxiety to help readers better understand how the sufferer is affected.

Quotes about anxiety (1-6)

You need to let go of your fear and anxiety of being judged by others. ~Gavin Newsom

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows but only empties today of its strength. ~Charles Spurgeon

It is very hard to explain to people who have never known serious depression or anxiety the sheer continuous intensity of it. There is no off switch. ~Matt Haig

There isn’t anybody out there who doesn’t have a mental health issue, whether it’s depression, anxiety, or how to cope with relationships. Having OCD is not an embarrassment anymore – for me. Just know that there is help and your life could be better if you go out and seek help. ~Howie Mandel

People talk about physical fitness, but mental health is equally important. I see people suffering, and their families feel a sense of shame about it, which doesn’t help. One needs support and understanding. I am now working on an initiative to create awareness about anxiety and depression and help people. ~Deepika Padukone

We all have anxiety about things. We all have little insecurities, but eventually, you have to face your fears if you want to be successful, and everybody has some fear of failure. ~Nick Saban

Quotes about anxiety (7-12)

Anxiety is love’s greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic. ~Anais Nin

The truth is that there is no actual stress or anxiety in the world; it’s your thoughts that create these false beliefs. You can’t package stress, touch it, or see it. There are only people engaged in stressful thinking. ~Wayne Dyer

Everyone needs a reset button so you can start your day without anxiety. For some people, it’s running; for some, it’s going to the gym. For me, it’s meditation. ~Matt Bomer

People tend to dwell more on negative things than on good things. So the mind then becomes obsessed with negative things, with judgments, guilt and anxiety produced by thoughts about the future and so on. ~Eckhart Tolle

Happiness is not a brilliant climax to years of grim struggle and anxiety. It is a long succession of little decisions simply to be happy in the moment. ~ Donald Walters

Physical comforts cannot subdue mental suffering, and if we look closely, we can see that those who have many possessions are not necessarily happy. In fact, being wealthy often brings even more anxiety. ~Dalai Lama

Quotes about anxiety (13-18)

People who fail to use their emotional intelligence skills are more likely to turn to other, less effective means of managing their moods. They are twice as likely to experience anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and even thoughts of suicide. ~Travis Bradberry

The act of birth is the first experience of anxiety and thus the source and prototype of the effect of anxiety. ~Sigmund Freud

For as long as I can remember I have suffered from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to express in my art. ~Edvard Munch

I was about to meet Beyonce and I had a full-blown anxiety attack. Then she popped in looking gorgeous and said, ‘You’re amazing! When I listen to you I feel like I’m listening to God.’ ~Adele

I think one thing is that anybody who’s had to contend with mental illness – whether it’s depression, bipolar illness or severe anxiety, whatever – actually has a fair amount of resilience in the sense that they’ve had to deal with suffering already, personal suffering. ~Kay Redfield Jamison

The other thing is that if you rely solely on medication to manage depression or anxiety, for example, you have done nothing to train the mind so that when you come off the medication, you are just as vulnerable to a relapse as though you had never taken the medication. ~Daniel Goleman

Quotes about anxiety (19-25)

Anxiety is a really crippling condition, and I suffer from it myself, and I feel for anyone who suffers from it. The way that I deal with it is to try as much as possible to stay in the moment to not think about the past and not think about what’s coming up in the future: to try and just seize the moment as much as possible. ~James Arthur

Unfortunately, I think depression and anxiety are really hard to live with. And what people don’t need is to feel bad about themselves because they decide to go on medication. ~Rene Russo

This is an anxiety-driven world – the whole world is driven by anxiety. It is anxiety about the aftermath of the global financial crisis; it’s anxiety about inequality and about computers replacing jobs. ~Robert J. Shiller

If I take death into my life, acknowledge it, and face it squarely, I will free myself from the anxiety of death and the pettiness of life – and only then will I be free to become myself. ~Martin Heidegger

It’s okay to talk about mental health issues. It’s okay to admit that you have anxiety. It doesn’t take away from your power. It’s totally normal. ~Torrey DeVitto

A leader who is confused or confusing causes too much anxiety, and a leader who is too controlling is revealing more insecurity and a lack of leadership. ~Mark Goulston

All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership. ~John Kenneth Galbraith

33 funny quotes about age sure to amuse you

02/26/2025 by

Today I’m exploring some funny quotes about age.

If you’re like me, age might bother you a little bit.

The years go by so quickly, don’t they? Life goes by in the blink of an eye, or so it seems.

We all want to make the most of our time, of course. However, life usually gets in the way, doesn’t it? As John Lennon once said, “Life’s what happens while you’re busy making other plans.”

When we’re young, we have time and energy but no money and few skills.

As we get older, we have the demands of work and family eating up the time we have. And while we have some money, it mostly goes into paying bills.

Then in old age, we have some money, if we’ve been lucky, and we have fewer demands on our time, but we have no energy, and our bodies start to let us down.

Life can be like a cruel joke at times. However done right, life can be fun too. Well, I think so anyway.

Live life while you can, and don’t put anything off until someday because someday never comes. There are seven days in every week, and someday isn’t one of them. If you want to do it, then do it now.

But not before you enjoy these 33 funny quotes about age. I am confident they will amuse you, and they’ll get you thinking about life too.

23 quotes by Taylor Swift to inspire you

02/26/2025 by

Today I thought it would be interesting to explore some quotes by Taylor Swift, currently one of the biggest names in music.

Taylor Alison Swift is best known as an American singer-songwriter. She is recognized for her songwriting, musical versatility, artistic reinventions, and her influence on the current music scene.

Arguably, she is one of the most prominent cultural figures of the 21st century so far.

You can’t argue with success. Talent helps, of course, but achieving great success requires much more than talent alone.

If you want to be successful, you’d be wise to listen to what successful people have to say.

That’s why I think it’s important to explore quotes by successful people.

So here are 23 quotes by Taylor Swift, and I hope at least some of them serve as an inspiration for you, dear reader.

Make Money

Quotes by Taylor Swift (1-12)

I’m intimidated by the fear of being average.

All you need to do to be my friend is like me.

I’m always worried about everything. Like spiders.

Nothing ruins your day more than getting a bad review.

I know my flaws before other people point them out to me.

My ultimate goal is to end up being happy. Most of the time.

I never want to change so much that people can’t recognize me.

Anytime someone tells me that I can’t do something, I want to do it more.

We don’t need to share the same opinions as others, but we need to be respectful.

In a relationship each person should support the other; they should lift each other up.

I have this really high priority on happiness and finding something to be happy about.

I think I am smart unless I am really, really in love, and then I am ridiculously stupid.

Quotes by Taylor Swift (13-23)

Even if you’re happy with the life you’ve chosen, you’re still curious about the other options.

I think every girl’s dream is to find a bad boy at the right time when he wants to not be bad anymore.

No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.

Anything you put your mind to and add your imagination into can make your life a lot better and a lot more fun.

Silence speaks so much louder than screaming tantrums. Never give anyone an excuse to say that you’re crazy.

If you are lucky enough to find something that you love, and you have a shot at being good at it, don’t stop, don’t put it down.

The only way to conquer stage fright is to get up on stage and play. Every time you play another show, it gets better and better.

I think the tiniest little thing can change the course of your day, which can change the course of your year, which can change who you are.

I don’t compare myself to anyone else; I don’t make comments about anyone else because they do what feels right for them, and that’s okay by me.

The cool thing about reading is that when you read a short story or you read something that takes your mind and expands where your thoughts can go, that’s powerful.

I never give advice unless someone asks me for it. One thing I’ve learned, and possibly the only advice I have to give, is to not be that person giving out unsolicited advice based on your own personal experience.

Sarcasm Quotes

Me? Sarcastic? Never!

Zombies eat brains. You’re safe.

Well, that was almost interesting.

Am I free tomorrow? No, I’m expensive.

Stupidity is not a crime. You’re free to go

I’m not insulting you. I’m describing you.

I disagree, but I respect your right to be stupid.

Well, you never learn anything by doing it right.

I’d agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.

If only closed minds came with closed mouths.

I stopped listening, so why don’t you stop talking?

I can only hope your day is as pleasant as you are.

I’m guessing you don’t get invited to many parties.

I’m returning your nose, dear! I found it in my business.

Sarcasm is the body’s natural defence against stupidity.

Well, that’s several minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

Keep rolling your eyes. Maybe you’ll find a brain back there.

I’m not sarcastic. I’m just intelligent beyond your understanding.

If you don’t want a sarcastic answer, don’t ask a stupid question.

Just because you’re raising your voice doesn’t mean you’re right.

If I wanted to kill myself, I would climb your ego and jump to your IQ.

If you want to lose weight, love, have you thought of shaving your legs?

I’m only being patient with you because there are too many witnesses.

That joke is so old, I’m sure the first person to hear it fell off his dinosaur.

Oh, you’re talking to me. I thought there was something wrong with you.

If somehow you persuaded someone to marry you, they have my sympathy.

The trouble with you is you lack the power of conversation but not the power of speech.

From the moment I saw you, I knew I was going to spend the rest of my life avoiding you.

Yes, I walked away mid-conversation. You were boring me to death and my survival instincts kicked in.

You could shake my pelvis and call me Elvis, but I’d still be willing to bet no one spends time with you willingly.

Your flexibility amazes me. How do you get your foot in your mouth and your head up your ass at the same time?

George Carlin’s Top 10 Rules For Success

02/23/2025 by

If you’re seeking some rules for success, today’s post is for you.

If success is your aim, look for successful people and copy what they do. If it worked for them, there’s a good chance it could work for you. This is a firmly held belief, and I refer to it frequently in my writing.

You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. You don’t have to come up with a game plan all of your own. There are plenty of good role models out there. Just look and listen to the good and the bad; the reverent and the irreverent. And don’t forget role models can serve as a warning as well as exemplars of how something should be done. So look around and take it all in.

George Carlin would be someone who would be considered irreverent by those familiar with his work. He’s also very successful in his field. So if you’re looking for inspiration, then listening to George Carlin could be a good start. He will probably make you smile if nothing else. In this video, George highlights his Top 10 Rules for Success, and certainly, I found them inspirational.

This is an excellent series, and this episode featuring George Carlin is well worth a listen. I don’t necessarily agree with everything George says, but he’s irreverent, and he challenges your thinking, and that for me is a good thing.

So I recommend this YouTube video to you. Listen, and it’ll be time well spent, I think. George Carlin offers some great ideas here.
