Age old Chinese Sayings :P

Chinese Grandmothers say.....

Where you hold your chopsticks -- bottom, top or middle, is equal to the distance you live from the one you will eventually marry. That means, hold them at the bottom and you will marry the boy next door. Hold them at the top and you will have to travel to find him.

Chinese Brides Must Avoid Eggplant...


Chinese grandmothers say that certain foods must definitely be avoided at a Chinese wedding banquet. The bride cannot eat any form of eggplant as that can result in sterility. And, the groom must be careful not to eat pig's brains because that delicacy can produce male impotence. And, providing all goes well and she becomes pregnant, mama-to-be must avoid eating both rabbit and chicken or her baby will be born with a hoarse voice.

Words on Love...

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times always with the same person.
Mignon McLaughlin - The Second Neurotic's Notebook (1966)


What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
Helen Keller-We Bereaved (1929)


How do you know that love has gone? If you said you would be there at seven, you get there by nine and he has not called the police yet--it's gone.
Marlene Dietrich, Marlene Dietrich's ABC (1962)
