Quotes

from the famous and the not so famous

These are a collection of quotes from the famous and no so famous.

Rachael Ray

Never be a food snob. Learn from everyone you meet – the fish guy at your market, the lady at the local diner, farmers, cheese makers. Ask questions, try everything, and eat up!                                                                                                                         2/25/25

Mr. H. is as phenomenal individual with an amazing enthusiasm for life. Someone had upset him very badly the day he made his declaration of awesome to the world.  We should all remember his words. . 

Some of my favorites from Einstein

  • Study and in general the pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.
  • Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.
  • I am happy because I want nothing from anyone. I do not care about money. Decorations, titles, or distinctions mean nothing to me. I do not crave praise. The only thing that gives me pleasure, apart from my work, my violin, and my sailboat, is the appreciation of my fellow workers.                                                                                                                1/28/25
