Three Day Quote Tag--Day 3


Last day of the Three Day Quote Tag, and as usual I have more than one quote to share with you.  Actually, I went a little overboard today and included five.  I hope you don't mind.

I like work; it fascinates me.  I can sit and look at it for hours.

  1. I don't mind all the quotes! :D My favourite quote from today would probably be the last one, "Learn to laugh. .. "

    I don't quite understand the Ralph Waldo Emerson one though. What does he mean? ;)

    1. Yes, that is a good quote. I added that one at the last minute. :)

      Haha. Basically, the one guy is trying SO hard to convince the others he's honorable, that they're suspicious of him and think he's probably trying to make off with something. Hence, they're counting their spoons (which would probably be valuable silver spoons) to make sure they still have all of them. Does that make sense? That's how I see it, anyway. ;)

    2. Oh, good. I was hoping my explanation made sense. :)

  2. Very nice Miss March! So funny because I did a post several days ago with a version of that last quote, which has always been a favorite of mine."Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused." Anyways, love this post! Thanks!

    1. Haha. It really is. One's conscience certainly comes alive when there's the possibility of being informed on by one's siblings. ;)

      Oh! I'm glad you enjoyed them, Miss Meg! And thank you for your comment. :)
