I happen to love my Google Chrome home page. What I find special about it is that you can make it your very personal page. One of the things that I really, really enjoy on mine are the quotes.
If you've not used Google as your Internet browser you may not have seen the quotes that appear daily. I have found so many that I began saving some of the ones that I really like. Reasons for liking them differ depending on the quote. While some are funny, most are pretty thought provoking. I'm sure you will probably realize that they are also the quotes that make the most sense to me.
If you read these daily quotes, and I don't read them every single day...just almost every single day, you probably have your own favorites which you may or may not have saved. I, of course, save them because if I don't chances are I won't remember them.
As I was adding one this evening I thought I would share some of them and here they are:
Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the by-product of other activities.
- Aldous Huxley
Every man is wise when attacked by a mad dog; fewer when pursued by a mad woman; only the wisest survive when attacked by a mad notion.
- Robertson Davies
The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason.
- John Cage
No one means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous.
- Henry Adams
Illusion is the first of all pleasures.
- Oscar Wilde
It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument.
- William G. McAdoo
I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution.
- Wernher von Braun
The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none.
- Thomas Carlyle
Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself.
- A. H. Weiler
It is better for civilization to be going down the drain than to be coming up it.
- Henry Allen
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.
- Mark Twain
There are people who, instead of listening to what is being said to them, are already listening to what they are going to say themselves.
- Albert Guinon
A bore is a man who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company.
- Gian Vincenzo Gravina
I hope you enjoyed, at least some of them, as much as I have. If you have any special quotes that you would like to share please feel free to do so if you comment below.

Thanks for sharing. That is a very neat feature. I just fully set up Chrome today and thus far have enjoyed the performance.
Thank you Kate for passing on these quotes. I accidentally downloaded Chrome while downloading Google Earth, it has been an adjustment for me to use, but everyone that is using it loves it, I'm going to hang in there
I use Safari at home and fireFox on my laptop. Love them both . . .
Hi, Kate.
I use Firefox, then Opera, then Internet Explorer. I have RockMelt but don't use it too often.
Google Chrome is installed on my computers, but I don't trust Google.
Kate:
I use Google Chrome occasionally. So far, I haven't seen anything extraordinary about it.
Didn't now that about the quotes Kate. I use four browsers, mainly Safari. I will check it out. Thanks.
Here are two quotes that I like:
"A women is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water". — Eleanor Roosevelt
AND
"Doing nothing is very hard to do you never know when you're finished" — Leslie Nielsen
