Quote of the Day

NO-BEAT  PENUCHE  FUDGE

See that "Ponder this" up there? 
The Quote of the day for today is:
The true way to gain much, is never to desire to gain too much. ~Francis Beaumont

I wonder if Francis, whoever he may be, ever considered a fat woman eating Valentine's Day penuche fudge for breakfast, when he made that memorable statement.  
Who ever desires to gain much at all, never mind "too much"?

Gaining much? I guess that was once a positive thing, not like today's desire to "lose much." Pounds, that is. Clever take on that quote... :-)

Funny how we think in terms of weight with the word "gain". I did the same before I read your take on it.

that stuff looks disgusting.
Eating it for breakfast would make me sick.

I hate to admit that that is my kind of breakfast...washed down with a Diet Coke of course!

He obviously didn't grow up in a big family !
It's illogical , anyway . What would you have gained if breakfast had been a thin slice of dry toast ? Two pieces of dry toast and a wistful smile ?
This way , you were set up nicely for the day and everybody gained .

I'm a fan of fudge - but that much sugar that early would definitely make me queasy and be "too much!" PS I'm really having trouble with the new anti-spam!

It is good to learn to be content with one's lot. (If at all possible) - I guess it is the secret of a happy life.

I don't know. I think that if I hadn't wanted to gain as much knowledge or joy as I possibly could, I would not have gained that.

Funny. I didn't even think of weight. But, then, I am overweight so I try NOT to think of it, maybe!

Strange quote to my way of thinking.
