Please enjoy these quotes about Accidents from my collection of quotes and sayings.
Personally, I have fond memories of playing
on slippery rocks on the banks of a rushing river
as a child and hitchhiking in college.
To those who say, "But times are different now,"
I reply that statistically life is much safer now
than in the 1950s, with regard to both crime and accidents.
What has changed is our attitudes.
In those years, a broken leg from falling off a swing
or the back of a tractor was just part of childhood -
an excuse for gathering autographs.
Today that broken leg would be a source
of outrage and probably lawsuits.
I long for a simpler time when life was taken less seriously.

But do it a third time, and
you've just proven a natural law.

Life is NOT "Supposed to be Fair."
Know that there is no single way that life is "supposed" to be.

to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.
