So much for no more opinions

For those that don't know or didn't read my last posting, August 15th is my birthday. Another snip-it of information is that I am left handed.

I am by no means famous or infamous for that matter; though to hear some people at work tell it, I am well on my way, however I can not help but feel a connection with another lefty yhat shares by birthday, Napoleon Bonaparte.

When I was a child, my mother ran into a plam reader and she read my palm, naturally it doomed me to heart-break. I think Josephine wouls qualify for my boy Napoleon. Generally, if I really believed in reencarnation, he would be who I would say I was, once.

Anyway, (quick note, I despise Mom's keyboard... not hunt and peck friendly) as I was saying, as I feel a connection to this man I seem to really connect to his quotes. And here is the point of the post. I plucked a book of quotes from thre shelves at my parents houses and found the following quotes, in this order, under the heading of "ABILITY".

"We judge ourselves by what we feel we capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done" Longfellow

"Ability is of little account without opportunity" Napoleon

I wondered if the editor of that book had a since of humor. So I searched on. Next up was:

"My tastes are aristocratic; my actions democratic." Victor Hugo

"A man's palate can, in time, become accustomer to anything" Napoleon

Again found in order under the heading TASTE.

Okay, so I looked in the index and looked at all the Napoleon quotes...

SUICIDE

"I have a hundred times wished that aone could resign life as an officer resigns commision" Robert Burns

"It is cowardice to commit suicide" Napoleon

NEWS

"Every editor of newspapers pays tribute to the devil." La Fontaine

"Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets" Napoleon.

LOVE

"But there is nothing half so sweet in life As Love's young dream." Moore.

"The only victoryover love is flight" Napoleon

HISTORY

"What is history but a fable agreed upon?" Napoleon

"The historian is a prophet looking backwards" Schlegel



FORESIGHT

"If a man take no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand" Confucious

"Forethought we may have, undoubtedly, but not foresight." Napoleon...


See, its not my fault. I am destined to put my silly opinons in here. I am destined to do so just like the editor was destined to continually destined to put those quote in a argumentitive position...

One more quote... Opinions are like assholes, eveyones got one and thinks everyone else's stinks
