Quotation Six Word Stories

“Excellent,” I cried. “Elementary,” said he.

A loving heart - the truest wisdom.

A man can die but once.

A voice crying in the wilderness.

Ask no questions. Tell no lies.

Ill met by moonlight proud Titania.

Life happens when busy making plans.

Love is patient. Love is kind.

Procrastination is the thief of time,

The lady doth protest too much.

To be or not to be

To everything there is a season

You see but do you observe?

Love is real. Real is love.

All that glitters is not gold

“Mind that bus!” “What bus?” Splat!

Divorced. Beheaded. Died. Divorced. Beheaded. Survived.

Go to work on an egg.

All I see are your lips.

Give 'em the old, razzle dazzle.

I like different. Different is good.

I wake myself thinking of him.

I’d rather stay single and thin.

Save water, shower with a friend.

She had kisses sweeter than wine.

This is a story about love.
