W. S. Gilbert Life Quotations

I can think of no one more deserving of this year's SAG Life Achievement award than Shirley Temple Black,

I was in a world where I was a beginner at everything. Everyday things that I'd been doing all of my life were all of a sudden things I was new at trying to do and I wasn't good at them, ... The gift of rowing, for me, was that was one thing in my life at that moment that I was competent at.

That was the most down period in my life, ... I was afraid of everything. I didn't think I could do anything anymore, and I basically just stayed at home. Literally, I woke up one day and thought, 'OK, what's my life going to be like 5, 10, 30 years out from now, if I keep doing this?' And I thought, 'Oh my God, I'm going to have a long, boring life. I've got to do something to change this.'

The whole boat has to be painted. Especially the bottom of the boat; you have to put on anti-fouling paint to keep marine life such as mussels from growing on it.

Although we would have liked to play a game, there are more important things in life than football. We understand the decision and our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends affected by Hurricane Katrina.

Oh, don't the days seem lank and long When all goes right and nothing goes wrong, And isn't your life extremely flat With nothing whatever to grumble at!

Life's perhaps the only riddle That we shrink from giving up.

Life's a pudding full of plums.
