George Carlin Quotes

The caterpillar does all the work, but the butterfly gets all the publicity.

We have multiplied our possessions but reduced our values.  We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.  We’ve learned how to make a living but not a life.  We’ve added years to life, not life to years.

George Carlin (1937-2008) was an American comedian, social critic, and writer.

Another Bridge

Clouds of change fill morning’s sky

Hidden in frozen crystal ball

What will tomorrow bring?

Many questions wait to free fall

 

Transformation rides each wind

Hidden story’s unwritten thread

Others forecast gloom and doom

Some say, better times ahead

 

Harmony fills every thought

Hidden in history’s playbook

Another bridge, not too far

Truth discovers faithful nook

 

Joyful peace, flowing with hope

Hidden anthem’s spirited choice

Rodeo’s last mount to ride

Countless answers offer voice
