Life's too short to be negative Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone Life without friends is like a garden without flowers A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway. Never explain yourself. Your friends don’t need it and your enemies won’t believe it.- Elbert Hubbard I get by with a little help from my friends. - John Lennon

My old man used to say 'God is at the back door and St Peter is at the front door', thats when i was in trouble. If someone was vexed with their partner i'd say 'love is blind, but jealousy sees all'. Micheal.
