13 quotes about snow

6. Advice is like snow; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind

7. To live anywhere in the world today and be against equality because of race or color, is like living in Alaska and being against snow !

  5. These are wonderful quotes & I had never heard any of these before - so nice to read something new!

    Oh, & I see you are in Belgium - we're neighbors...I'm just a short bit away from you in France, just outside of Paris. We had some snow yesterday for about 10 minutes. ;)

    Happy TT to you!

  6. laugh out loud!

    I just read last night in my Amsterdam/Belgium book about Waterloo. I never realized that it was a suburb of Brussels! We're thinking of a day trip to Brussels from Amsterdam. Maybe we could meet up for waffles and chocolate!

  7. I love your first quote I was trying not to make dirty jokes when I posted the other day: "they said it was eight inches but we only got four"...

    Here's my answer to your last at mine:

    Being a native German speaker don't you find Dutch-Flemish really easy to understand?... I wanted to move to Amsterdam quite seriously about 18 yrs ago and took up learning Dutch I RACED through the course on the back of all the German I'd done in 5 yrs at school it was so easy. Once you realized the guttural kkkhhhh sound is just a G and the N on -en endings isn't pronounced you can leap ahead... and all those expressions verzekkering/Versicherung etc etc surely I would have thought Dutch would come to you more easily than English which is full of French, Latin and Greek...?~no??

  23. No snow for that long? Sounds like heaven to me, even though we have had quite sparsely with snow the past years.

    Great quotes, never have seen any quotes about snow earlier, I really don't know how you find everything :-)
