Re: QUOTATIONS AGLORE
An ode to English Plurals;
*----------------------------------
**We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.*
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.***
If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?***
***Then one may be that, and three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
***We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!
***Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;
neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England.
We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes,
we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,
and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
**And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing,
grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends **
but not one amend.
If you have a bunch of odds and ends and
get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English
should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.
In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
We ship by truck but send cargo by ship.
We have noses that run and feet that smell.
We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.
And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,
while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language
in which your house can burn up as it burns down,
in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and
in which an alarm goes off by going on.
**And in closing, **
**if Father **
**is **
**Pop, **
**how come **
**Mother's **
**not **
Mop?

**I was quite serious!!! The quotation isn’t based on reality; in my view. Men are more possessive about love. They demand utmost love and care and don’t often seem to compromise in this regard whereas it’s not always the case with the women. You can satisfy them even with a single gesture of love. How caring and loving they are! ------- My sympathies are with the women. **

Re: QUOTATIONS AGLORE
I thought a quotation thread would give us all good food of thought !
Food for Thought and all of it from the Kuffar! No thanks
Was it just a coincidence or did you purposely made sure that you didn't quoted any thing from a Muslim.
PS. Iam assuming you are a muslim. Ignore my comment, if otherwise :)

I stand accused---and would try to induce as much of quotations from Muslim thinkers----as I find worth the scribe.
Thank you for your thoughts......
As regards your assumption that I am a MUSLIM.....I cant say...its up to YOU to decide...though you have already given your verdict!

Classic Quotes by Michael Jordan (1963- ) American Basketball Player
**As athletes, we're used to reacting quickly. Here, it's 'come, stop, come, stop.' There's a lot of downtime. That's the toughest part of the day. **
**-------------------- **
**Even when I'm old and grey, I won't be able to play it, but I'll still love the game. **
**-------------------- **

**-------------------- **
**I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot... when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result. **
**-------------------- **
**I never thought a role model should be negative. **
**-------------------- **
**I play to win, whether during practice or a real game. And I will not let anything get in the way of me and my competitive enthusiasm to win. **
**-------------------- **
**I realize that I'm black, but I like to be viewed as a person, and this is everybody's wish. **
**-------------------- **
**I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come. I don't do things half-heartedly. Because I know if I do, then I can expect half-hearted results. **
**-------------------- **
**I've failed over and over and over again **
**in my life and that is why I succeed. **
**-------------------- **
**I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. **
**-------------------- **
**If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome. **
**-------------------- **
***If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
Re: QUOTATIONS AGLORE
My apologies…I have been on toes as I was invited to proceed to Islamabad for ELECTION special…but at the 11th hour I had to back out due to some domestic exigency! However you will see Sania, tariq Aziz, Jamil Fakhree, Faysal Qureshi..and others doing ELECTION SPECIAL tid bits with Farhan Agha also..
I quite agree with you. I researched and couldn’t get into the depth of the scribe who may have written or thought about that. Your point merits a thought and does carry weight–hence I apologise and hereby expunge that quote from my thread…and I am glad that instead of tactfully hitting out at me in some way..which I am observing quietly on other threads (and may loose my patience very soon)…YOU have been a very sensible person to point out with conviction…something which was not done purposely but by reading somewhere.
