Was reading this interesting book :

Like to share some of the very interesting quotes that I found in that book, since these are quotes that you and me always say and use.

From the way of Mrs Cosmopilite

1. Mrs Cosmopilite says:

If the wind changes, your face will stay like that.

The correct answer is : Like what?

2. Mrs Cosmopilite says:

Do you think this is a hotel? You just come here only to sleep.

This one always catches Ms C.'s paying guests by surprise.

***************************************************
3.Mrs Cosmopilite says:
Do as I say, not as I do

The acolyte responds: How do you do?
*********************************
4. Mrs Cosmopilite says:
Enough is Enough

The seeker of wisdom says: And?
******************************
5. Mrs Cosmopilite says
Don't you have anything better to do?

The acolyte responds: I will leave and smell the cherry blossom.
*******************************************************
6.Mrs Cosmopilite says
How many times do I have to tell you?

The acolyte responds: One more time.

7.Mrs Cosmopilite says

The seeker says: This does not move us forward.
******************************************
11.Mrs Cosmopilite says
When I was your age, I had to walk ten miles through the snow, uphill, by myself, every day, to go to school.

The acolyte says: Did you really live less than a day's journey from a school?
******************************************************************
12. Mrs Cosmopilite says
If you can't say something nice,don't say anything at all.

The seeker says: Why is it so quiet in here?
**************************************
13. (My favourites)
Mrs Cosmopilite says
Go to your room and think about what you have done.

Hu-lin was discovered in a mummified state by Mrs C.'s having gone to his room 3 years previously to think about what he did and never returned, having become engrossed. He had achieved enlightenment but not lunch...hahaha
