I will write about the Three Sisters again soon, but I wanted to post these quotes. I made them up myself.
1: Do not worry about the cover of the book, for it is the story inside that you are reading.
2: It takes a lot of boiling to make one bottle of maple syrup.
3: The prize is not the shine of the trophy, but the honor that comes with it.
Here are the meanings. Number one: It doesn't matter what you look like. It is what is inside that matters. Number two: You have to have patience, because it is worth it at the end. (Number three's meaning is exactly what it says.)
It would be great if you could tell me some quotes. Quotes that you have made up, that is. Please do not give me any that you have heard before.
Hi Eliza,
ReplyDeleteI liked your quotes very much. I figured out number 2, but you got me with number 1.
My quote is
While everything is up for discussion, everything is only up for discussion.
Does that mean that things can only be talked about?
DeleteCorrect! It means that it is ok to try to convince a person with words, but it is not ok to use force on them.
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes, Eliza! Here's mine:
ReplyDelete"There might be bears in the woods, but it's the gnats and mosquitoes that keep you up all night."
Michelle, Does that mean that you have to worry about the small things?
DeleteHi, Eliza! That's very close to my original intent. I meant that in life, a lot of times we don't necessarily worry about the very big things that could impact our lives; instead, we spend our time worrying about the little, insignificant things, that we should probably just let go.
DeleteEliza, I am interested to know if you would agree or disagree with my quote. Not necessarily whether you think it is a good or bad quote, but if you disagree, then why or how?
ReplyDeleteAnd Michelle, I will never look at camping the same again!
Chris, I agree with the quote, but I'm not sure it makes sense because you didn't say anything about force.
DeleteThanks very much. I'll see if I can improve it.
ReplyDeleteHi again, Eliza. My son came up with one, too, that he said I could share. It's "Don't step on broken glass."
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean that you have to watch where you step?

ReplyDeleteSort of, but not with your feet. He meant that when you're in a bad argument with someone, try not to do anything to make it worse.
ReplyDeleteI see. Good one.
