I read a fantastic quote the other day, and toyed with starting this thread, and for the life of me can't remember what the quote was.

But stumbled on this one this morning and thought, no time like the present.


"As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue." - Albert Einstein

My favourite is


Dorothy Parker on being challenged to use the word ?horticulture? in a sentence said, ?You can bring a horticulture but you can?t make her think?.


Some others I like


?Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don?t like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.?

Bill Shankly


?a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire.?

George Bernard Shaw talking about dancing


?either the wallpaper goes or I do.?

Last words of Oscar Wilde


?I never forget a face, but in your case I?ll be glad to make an exception.?

A: Groucho Marx

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
