"Corcovado" (known in English as "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars") is a bossa nova song written by Antonio Carlos Jobim in 1960. An English lyric was later written by Gene Lees.

Music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OoGylIeR-c - Aerosmith-Full Circle nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Jokes No matter which girl he brought home, this bachelor had disapproval from his mother. A friend advised him: "Find a girl just like your mother, then she is bound to like her." Thus the bachelor tried and finally found the "GIRL." So he told his friend: "As advised by you, I found a girl who looked, talked, walked and even cooked just like my mother. As you predicted, my mother loved her!" "So" asked the friend, "What happened?" "My father disapproved of her!" replied the bachelor. nnnnnnn Groaners Q: What do Italian's eat on Halloween? A: Fettucinni Afraid-o! *-- Something to Drink? --* Monster: It is a very hot day today! Witch: So, can I make you a lemonade? Monster: Yes! Witch: Poof! You're lemonade! nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Conflicting Proverbs Actions speak louder than words. The pen is mightier than the sword. Look before you leap. He who hesitates is lost. Many hands make light work. Too many cooks spoil the broth. A silent man is a wise one. A man without words is a man without thoughts. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Clothes make the man. Don't judge a book by its cover. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Better safe than sorry. The bigger, the better. The best things come in small packages. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Out of sight, out of mind. What will be, will be. Life is what you make it. Cross your bridges when you come to them. Forewarned is forearmed. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. One man's meat is another man's poison. With age comes wisdom. Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings come all wise sayings. The more, the merrier. Two's company; three's a crowd.
The squeaky wheel
gets the grease. |
