When life gives you lemons, make apple juice and wonder why everybody stars.
Birds of a feather have identity crises together.
When life gives you lemons, go to the Existence Services booth and exchange them for kiwis. Kiwis are good.

When life gives you lemons, squirt the juice in people's eyes until they give you the chocolate you asked for instead

If at first you don't succeed, well, that's what white out's for.

I have never understood what life particularly had against lemons, that it felt it to be so absolutely necessary to shove them off on the rest of us. Potatoes, yes, when hot. But lemons? Really?

They tell me that silence is golden, that duct tape is silver. On occasion, they even tell me to shut up.

You, sir, are the apple of my vitreous humor.

Scratch my back and I'll hit you in the face with a broom.
Nunc lac est bibendum.

When life gives you lemons, look life in the eyes and ask "What else you got?"

Show me someone who has their feet planted firmly on the ground, and I will show you someone who can't put their pants on.

Walking a mile in someone elses shoes usually hurts. Especially when their feet are smaller then yours and they like wearing high heals.

If at first you don't succeed, try again, if you still fail, look incredibly cute and ask someone else to do it for you.
Why does believe have the word lie in it?

*like the line in my dp? Check out my one poem: "In Repair". I made the dp to match the poem.

When life gives you lemons, eat them. When you are finished, speak to life. Tell life, "I've eaten the lemons, now it's your turn, but you've got to eat the lemons that I've vomited up!"
#TNT

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, pee in it and give it to the people who screwed up your life in the first place.

Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals. - Winston Churchill.

I won't die for my beliefs. For all I know, I could be wrong.

Truth is relative. Pick one that works. - Sebastian Stark, Shark

1.When life gives you lemons, command someone else to make it for you.
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself into one.

The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don't dare reveal.

When life gives you lemons, alter their DNA and make Super Lemons.

When life gives you lemons, shut-up and eat your damn lemons.

When life gives you lemons, you really have to wonder what the point is.

"When life gives you lemons, throw them away! Who in their right minds gives lemons out? Mercury Sympathizers thats who!"

when life gives you lemons learn to juggle. or better yet get an air cannon have some real fun.

If life gives you apples instead of lemons, make apple pie and send me a piece.
You're more than wonderful
More than amazing
The irreplaceable
Love of my life
You're so incredible
In these arms tonight
The irreplaceable
Love of my life

When life gives you lemons and you've got some tea, introduce them to each other.

When life gives you lemons, eat the fruit and plant the seeds.

When life gives you lemons, squeeze them in someone's eyes and haul a**!

Before you insult someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you insult them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

The secret to success is knowing who to blame for your failures.

There are no stupid questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots.

For every winner, there are dozens of losers. Odds are, you're one of them.

The early bird may get the work, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Do it later: the early worm is for the birds.

You will always miss 100% of the shots you don't take, and, statistically speaking, 99% of the shots you do.

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 7 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

If you can't learn to do something well, learn to enjoy doing it poorly.

Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can walk.

Less is more. Unless you're standing next to the one with more. Then less just looks pathetic.

No matter how great and destructive your problems seem now, just remember: you've probably only seen the tip of them.

Quitters never win, and winners never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.

Underachievement: The tallest blade of grass is the first to be cut by the lawnmower.
