Board Quotations
God made the Idiot for practice, and then He made the School Board. Mark Twain We should all be obliged to appear before a board every five years and justify our existence... on pain of liquidation. George Bernard Shaw It's the game of life. Do I win or do I lose? One day they're gonna shut the game down. I gotta have as much fun and go around the board as many times as I can before it's my turn to leave. Tupac Shakur How pleasant it is for a father to sit at his child's board. It is like an aged man reclining under the shadow of an oak which he has planted. Voltaire People became more interested in my love life than in me, and that has a certain effect. You start to feel very empty and worth nothing, you start to become a piece in a board game you never wanted to play. Anna Friel |
