With the vast pools of wit and intelligence here on MB, there are gems brought to light daily. I think it would be fun to have a central location in which to place these timeless pearls of wisdom. Getting started: Cheaters are all similar. It's the BS who are unique!

Applause to 2long. You have just definitively answered the question so many have, "How do I know if I'm really in recovery?" Actually, that definitively answers a lot of life's questions.

I didn't realize there were so many Texans here. It is nice to know there are so many people out there who can understand my Texas pride.
Oh, I guess I should add a quote. Saw this one and I like it...
What is God telling you to do? If you haven't heard what God is telling you to do, then ask and keep asking until you do.

My H, the BS, 25

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

Proud of the woman that I have become, not the events that made me become that woman.

Ok, I can't resist, here goes...
"The community here I am am sure would welcome him (Coach)back with open arms if he showed up and wanted again to be an active member. He made many valuable contributions to the community and as I recall even garnered a "call out" of praise on an individual thread from a "queen bee" member of the MB Supreme Court." lemonman
Very, very funny stuff!

Come on folks...........why am I getting 2 quoteables here on this thread....If you think of this message board community as Hollywood, I think of myself as a "B" list actor here....LOL.....surely we have better and certainly more insightful pearls of wisdom than what I have spewed out in one of my rare moments of lucidity.
I will add another quoteable, and one of my all time favorites .....
"DO YOU WANT TO BE RIGHT OR DO YOU WANT TO BE MARRIED"?......Author unknown (I forgot who the heck said this one, but everytime I see it, I chuckle inside....private joke I guess.)

Lemonman, but you say the most hilarious stuff sometimes!!

Here is another that I really like, from God:
It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

ohoh, I just remembered another really good LemonMan:

ok, here is a negative one that sent me and WAT over the cliff: "I gave my H the Plan B letter like you said but he said it's just not practical." <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Therefore, she DROPPED Plan B because her H didn't approve!

"Falling in love with someone other than your spouse is not caused by unmet needs in your marriage. It is caused by a failure to protect your own weaknesses."
- Steven W. Harley, M.S.
The following are not a MB quote's, but some of my favorites from the author of “The Road Less Traveled”:
“Life is difficult.
This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult--once we truly understand and accept it--then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.”
- M. Scott Peck
"Most people think that courage is the absence of fear. The absence of fear is not courage; the absence of fear is some kind of brain damage. Courage is the capacity to go ahead in spite of the fear, or in spite of the pain. When you do that, you will find that overcoming that fear will not only make you stronger but will be a big step forward toward maturity."
- M. Scott Peck
