Sunday Quotables

Toni, from A Daily Dose of Toni has this great weekly ritual of posting Favorite Quotes - the quotes that people come up with are very inspiring, so if you haven't had a chance to check out Quotable Sunday, now's your chance! ;)

It's a rainy, dreary day today. The weather suits my mood, so I won't complain. Today's quotes are about rain:

“Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain” - Unknown

“I love walking in the rain, 'cause then no-one knows I'm crying.” - Unknown

“May you always have walls for the winds, a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire, laughter to cheer you, those you love near you and all your heart might desire.” - Irish blessing

“Into each life some rain must fall.” - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.” - Jerry Chin

“We will never be an advanced civilization as long as rain showers can delay the launching of a space rocket” - George Carlin

“I've seen fire and I've seen rain, I've seen sunny days I thought would never end, I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought I'd see you again” - James Taylor

“In our lives there is bound to come some pain, surely as there are storms and falling rain; just believe that the one who holds the storms will bring the sun.” - Unknown

Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth. ~John Updike

...thought I'd add one to your list.

I love the rain. I always say, the rain washes away the dirt. ..unless, of course you are talking about the short, afternoon, humidity driven summer shower.. in that case, it just makes it worse. :)

Those were all very nice quotes and when the predicted 3 day rains arrives here Chi-town, I won't feel quite as homicidal.
