Jafo most excellent advice, also please do not let your children place them onto your television screen. I told my sons about not doing this one time only to find they had to "Experiement" and try it "just in the corner Momma!!!" well you know the rest of the story....
back then it was not illegal to swat a kid on his backside!!! Nan it wasn't the "mean little F*@#er Inner child" that made me do it either!!!
Parenthood!!!!

Of course, them Harley pushers is a breed unto themselves.

I'm a total QUOTE-FREAK!
I dig quotes A LOT! I have two magnets on my fridge door that read:
1.) "How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then REST afterwards!" -Spanish Proverb
...and 2.) "You can never keep the birds of sorrow from flying overhead- but you can prevent them from nesting in your hair." -Chinese Proverb
My sister made me a framed primative stitching that I cherish & it hangs in my kitchen- it reads: "If one wishes to make an apple pie truly from scratch- first he must invent the universe." -Carl Sagan
Finally, my current THREE favorite quotes are:
1.) "Isn't it wonderful that no one need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world?" -Anne Frank
2.) "Live life that when you die even the undertaker is sorry." -Mark Twain
3.) "One can never hold light to another's path without brightening their own." -Eleanor Roosevelt

Persistence
This one hangs on our fridge:
"In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins; not through strenght, but through persistence."
There was a daily calendar that Eddie picked up at one of his many stops it had daily quotes we read one each A.M. as we waited on our coffee to drip, it was a nice way to start each day.
There is a radio station that we pickup from Chatanooga, TN that has an evening show by: John Tesh (the pianist) he always gives neat little quotes and inspiring or at least thought provoking antedotes. The show is called simply "The John Tesh Show." It is a nice way to end the day, just lay back and listen!

Got a new magnet for Eddie it has a really cool photo of John Wayne and says "A man's got to do what a man's got to do." I love it!!!

None of our magnets have quotes. They are all from places we have been. We have one from the Smithsonian, several from Art exhibits which came to Columbus, we also have magnets from various vacations Chicago, Alcapulco, Dresdin, Saltzburg, the Grand Canyon etc. I love looking at them. They remind us of good times.

I have a magnet on my fridge that has a wine bottle and vines on it and it reads: Life is Too Short To Drink Bad Wine. I have another magnet that reads: Let Love be it's Greatest Aim.
I have a Big Heart someone gave me years ago that reads: Love One Another ~

I am not religious by nature and find myself uncomfy in churches (one of my FAV funny sayings is the one about "sweatin' like a whore in church!" Ha!)- though I do have deep personal faith that I tend to keep private. Never been one to wear my faith on my sleeve, I guess.
My Dad is married to a staunch Baptist, though. And Dolores is a dear woman.
I have chef-art and lotsa grapes all over my kitchen and she bought me a fridge magnet that's a bit preachy for my taste- but I do like it.
It's a cluster of grapes & vines, and it displays John 15:5: "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit."

My favorite is: Pardon the Mess-The Maid and Butler Quit!

I have a lot of magnets on my fridge too but none with quotes. I do have a wooden cow (that a friend made for me years ago ) that sits on my bar and has a sign around her neck with the quote "Kitchen Closed...This Heifer is gone ! " lol
