I thought this might be "fun": 1. Sh*t happens; or, Sometimes you get the girl, and sometimes the girl rips your heart out and feeds it to you whole.
2. It could be worse; or, I'll give you something to cry about. 3. What did you expect; or, You actually thought you could hold on to happiness? 4. Deal with it; or, Everybody dies alone. 5. Join the club; or, Everybody hates their job as much as you do. 6. Snap out of it; or, You are never "ready" for making changes. 7. Keep it up; or, No matter how high you climb towards the summit, there are climbers whose basecamp you have yet to reach. 8. Here we go again; or, In time, when the job is done, it will have to be started all over again. 9. Arbeit Macht Frei, or, "Work Makes One Free" (the words that marked the gates at Auschwitz) 10. AUM; or, Sit down and shut up. [There, that's a round number. Can anybody think of any more?]

A person says: my life sucks. Saturn answers: do you have food to eat, clothes on your back, a roof over your head? The person answers, that they do have these things. Saturn then says: well quit whining then because your life is great. You're just being an ungreatful child. There are bigger problems than yoursIP: Logged |

There's two ways of doing this: you've got the easy way or hard way. Easy way: you work hard and sacrifice, you get rewards. Hard way: you don't work, you'll get your arse kicked in and then I'll make you work or you'll get your arse kicked in again. IP: Logged |

quote: There's a hole in the world like a great black pit and the vermin of the world inhabit it, and its morals aren't worth what a pig can spit - and it goes by the name of London. At the top of the hole sit the previlaged few making mock of the vermin in the lonely zoo, turning beauty to filth and greed. I too have sailed the world and seen its wonders, for the cruelty of men is as wonderous as Peru.
- Sweeny Todd (played by Johnny Depp who has a Cap moon) and... quote: Sweet dreams are made of these. Who am I to disagree? Travel the world and the seven seas. Everybody's looking for something.Some of them want to use you. Some of them want to get used by you. Some of them want to abuse you. Some of them want to be abused.

HSC, I like your quotes, but I'm not sure the first one fits.Capricorn is a realistic sign. Saturn is a realistic planet. I have three Cap planets, including my moon and I wouldn't use the expression "ripped my heart out" unless I was talking about *actual* heart surgery. I think it's a touch too dramatic for good ol' Cappy IP: Logged |

Coral Frequency - love the quotes. Sorry, but I have to correct you on the last one, though. It's Annie Lennox, not Marilyn Manson (at least, she did it originally and I believe wrote it). But never fear, she's a Cap sun, too! Okay, how about some pearls of wisdom from Benjamin Franklin, cap sun? "You may delay, but time will not." "The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself." "Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other." ------------------ Sun - Capricorn (10th House) Moon - Gemini (2nd House) Mercury - Sagittarius (9th House) Venus - Aquarius (11th House) Mars - Aries (12th House) ASC - Aries IP: Logged |

ha that's like my list of motto. especially "what did you expect?" but my personal favorite, instead of "here we go again", it's "so it begins". even less emotional.IP: Logged |
