This is a place to share any wise/inspirational/funny/dumb quotes spoken by anyone, about anything. You can even quote yourself, or other people you know. (Although you should probably have that person’s permission first.)

“Everything is a mountain”
January 22, 2024 at 7:46 pm #174052Two quotes from class today.
Tutor: “Does anyone have math problems to present?”
A random kid: “I have problems. They’re just not math problems.”
Tutor: “Yes, I didn’t do all the homework myself.”
A random kid: “I’ll have to talk to your parents about this!”
Tutor: “Well, you can talk to one of them. I’m not sure you can contact the other, now.”
Students: “Oh…”
Tutor: *sarcastically* “Ba-dum, tss.”

January 22, 2024 at 8:46 pm #174055You better believe I have quotes.
"Real love is for your good, not for your comfort." -Justin Whitmel Earley
January 22, 2024 at 8:52 pm #174056Since we seem to have a theme of humor at the moment, I’ll add one, too.
Ashley: “It’s like I always say, too much information can make your brain choke.”
Walter: “Maybe. But not enough information makes for a lot of dead cats.”
Ashley: “Dead cats? What in the world are you talking about?”
Walter: “You know, ‘curiosity killed the cat’. And I have enough curiosity to start a feline genocide.”
(Circles of Seven by Bryan Davis)
"Real love is for your good, not for your comfort." -Justin Whitmel Earley
January 22, 2024 at 9:07 pm #174057A little serious…
“The Civil War never truly ended.” – Shelps
This is one of my favorite quotes, not just because of who said it (you would not know who “Shelps” is, but if you did, you’d believe those words as much as I) But because it is so true.
“A hero is the one who bleeds.”
“It’s as a vow and it’s as a rule, that the world must be harsh and cruel.”
“Hiding a burning ember only makes more of a fire.” – Aden Florain
A little funny…
“Plasma Cheetos!” – my class
"You need French Toast."
#AnduthForever (hopefully 💕)January 22, 2024 at 9:41 pm #174059“Any sufficiently explained magic system is equivalent to science.” – Jonas (yes, I’m very wise. We can all ignore that this is a not-so clever adaptation of someone else’s saying, as well as the fact that I’ve never said this aloud.)

Little cousin #2: “So… bread?”
Little cousin #1: “No.”
