1. Don’t get discouraged if your favorite search engine doesn’t offer many choices if you type in the words: class reunion quotes.  In fact, you may not find any quotations that actually contain that phrase.  You might come across this one by Tryon Edwards: Every parting is a form of death, as every reunion is a type of heaven.  But that’s a bit heavy for a party.

2. Look for memories. In order to find appropriate class reunion quotes, you have to ask yourself what feelings you are seeking to stir in your former classmates.  Encourage them to rekindle memories of the good old school days.  Here’s some examples:

* Time endears but cannot fade the memories that friends have made.

* To reminisce with my old friends, a chance to share some memories, and play our songs again. – Ricky Nelson

* Fond memory brings the light of other days around me. – Thomas More

* When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. – Frederick Buechner

* Recall it as often as you wish, a happy memory never wears out. – Libbie Fudim

3. Remind them of old friendships.  One of the biggest reasons for attending a class reunion is to reconnect with past high school buddies.  Search for quotes on friends, concentrating particularly on the sayings that emphasize those old, tried and true friendships.  Here’s some ideas:

* No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other’s worth.  – Robert Southey

* Nothing is as comfortable as an old friend.

* I count myself in nothing else so happy as in a soul rememb’ring my good friends. – William Shakespeare

* Never forget the days I spent with you. Continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours. – Ludwig Van Beethoven

* We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere.

4. Talk about nostalgia.  You can help your classmates reminisce by locating facts of events, prices, songs, sports and movies from your high school years.  Or you can find quotes with the subject of nostalgia, for example:

* The essence of nostalgia is an awareness that what has been will never be again. – Milton S. Eisenhower

* A trip to nostalgia now and then is good for the spirit. – Dan Bartolovic

5. Try a little humor.  A well-chosen funny quip can sometimes be more effective than a philosophical quotation.  Here are a couple of humorous ones that may work for you:

* Middle age is when your classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald they don’t recognize you. – Bennett Cerf

* True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country. – Kurt Vonnegut

6. Listen to those old songs.  Music can stir up all kinds of memories.  So, you might borrow a line or two from a popular song from the year you graduated.  If none of them seems quite appropriate, then you could look up the lyrics to songs about missing you, friendship, or remembering the good old days.  Some possibilities would be Memories by Barbara Streisand, Reminiscing by the Little River Band and Please Remember by Leann Rimes. 

7. Use your own words.  You don’t have to quote a famous person to come up with a great saying for your class reunion.  Flip through your old yearbook and see if any of your former students or teachers have an interesting remark listed.  Brainstorm with your committee and see if you can come up with some wording ideas.  Ask your classmates who register online to leave a comment.  One of those might be just right for the event.  Finally, you can always use your school motto, if you have one.

At first, finding a great class reunion quote might appear to be a difficult task.  But it’s easy to assemble a nice selection, if you use these tips. Search for sayings with the right keywords, consider song lyrics or write your own catch phrase, and you’ll soon find you have a lot of choices.

1. Quotes are short but mind provoking. You do not have to read a whole book to get to the point. You do not need to read a lot for your mind to be stimulated and even challenged. A short sentence can sometimes trigger a whole range of processes such as thinking, observing and reflecting. These are then catalysts for changes in life.   

2. Quotes teach. Quotes are not just words. They carry much more than just meaning – they carry human experiences. Sometimes, there is so much life experience expressed in one short sentence that you can almost feel (see, hear, touch, smell…) what the author has put through to reach that “aha” point and express it in a statement. As Miguel de Servantes wrote: ” Proverbs are short sentences drawn from long experiences.” Since they enable us to reflect upon experiences of other people, quotes and sayings can serve as a powerful learning tool.

3. Quotes motivate. Through my personal experience with quotes, I have experienced their motivational power. Sometimes, a single quote, the right quote, is powerful enough to motivate you to turn your life around. They have the power to replace destructive and negative thoughts with positive ones.

This is why I love quotes. No doubt there are other reasons for their popularity too. People just love quotes for different reasons. Nevertheless, quotes are effective and powerful tools to enhance life for the better. Tested and recommended.

This truth is made evident in the few quotes listed below – quotes from some of the greatest leaders and thinkers of every age and land:

“There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues, the most dominating virtues of human society, are created, strengthened and maintained.” ~ Winston Churchill

“My wife has been my closest friend, my closest advisor. And … she’s not somebody who looks to the limelight, or even is wild about me being in politics. And that’s a good reality check on me. When I go home, she wants me to be a good father and a good husband. And everything else is secondary to that.”  ~ Barack Obama

“My husband and I have never considered divorce… murder sometimes, but never divorce.” ~ Joyce Brothers

“When you look at your life, the greatest happiness’s are family happiness’s.”  ~ Joyce Brothers

“Our most basic instinct is not for survival but for family. Most of us would give our own life for the survival of a family member, yet we lead our daily life too often as if we take our family for granted.”  ~ Paul Pearshall

“The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works is the family.”  ~ Lee Iacocca

“Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family.”  ~ Anthony Brandt

Never forget that understanding, agreeing with, being inspired by, and believing these words of wisdom is not enough! Character is changed, happiness is attained, and marriages and families are saved only though the implementation of the truths expressed above.

Our ancestors distilled all their experiences into few sayings that sound funny, but the wise utterances can teach us the wisdom of our forefathers. One Chinese saying teaches us that the experience we gain in our life is more valuable to others than to us. The saying, when translated to English, goes like this: “Experience is the comb nature gives to man after he becomes bald”. Instead of using so many bland words, it uses a great analogy that we all can relate to and makes us laugh.

Witty quotes and funny sayingslike these are collected and organized in our website: http://www.funny-sayings.com/ It has thousands of funny sayings, humorous quotes and witty jokes. If you want to be happy and healthy, we sincerely prescribe you one witty quote in the morning and one funny saying in the evening. For best results, prescribe our website to others as well.

For example, love between friends, parents and children, and others. The following are some examples of saying that I found very interesting. It will begin with a very comical and radical saying of how to treat your enemies and it goes like this ‘love your enemies, it really pisses them off’. Whether this is true or not, you just have to find out for yourself. I also came across another saying that I thought was really sweet and simple. ‘Love makes everything lovely’. There is no statement that can be truer. In the bible, there is a saying about love that is also as deep and, it is ‘love covers a multitude of sins’. Because of love, people are able to forget the wrongs and focus on building true relationships. I think the saying from the bible is one that is most inspiring of all. You can find more sayings in literature like books, magazines and the Internet. You can go through hundreds of sayings available and maybe choose one that will be a philosophy for you. Other sayings are as follows. ‘Let love be your greatest aim’. This is a very good one and it will help you strive to that height of love. Remember, according to many who have been in love, it is the greatest thing to have and it surpasses wealth and other material things that you will find.

True love is hard to come by but, it its possible and worth waiting for. Sometimes, there are people who do not identify love when they have it. Reading more sayings will help you discover some of the characteristics and features of love, so that you can be in a position to find real joy in life. Different cultures will have different sayings for love and, it is upon you to figure out want kind of love you want in your life. Be open minded and let the sayings continue to inspire you as you explore love.

You know love funny quotes as I believe humour is a key ingredient in a great relationship. Some of the funny ones I like are:

“What can you say to a man who has just had sex?  Anything you like as he is asleep”.

Or for those male readers – “what is the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMS?” “You can negotiate with a terrorist!”

Joking aside, this quote credited to Leo Buscaglia should be in all couple’s homes. 

“Too often we under estimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around”.

As most of us know it is the little things in a relationship that can cause it to fail or blossom. It is easy to blame the other person in our relationship for our dissatisfaction but as Martha Washington said “I have learned from experience that a greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.”

Some relationship quotations are beautiful and sad at the same time.  Such as the one from William Somerset Maugham (an English Writer) on unrequited love being “The love that lasts the longest is the love that is never returned.”

While I don’t think Colin Powell was talking about relationships when he said “None of us can change our yesterdays, but we can all change our tomorrows”, it is one that we could all do with remembering. Too often we waste time and energy holding grudges against our partners for something they did in the past. It is too late to change it now so let it go once and for all. So long as it isn’t a pattern of repeated behaviour it doesn’t do anyone any good to remember it.

“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much” Helen Keller. This lady was very special, despite being born blind and mute she achieved so much more than the rest of us often do. I believe that being part of a couple and then a family gives us the chance to be so much more. We need to appreciate the gifts we have. Our relationships would be a lot happier if we said thank you and I love you just a little more often.

As Mother Theresa is quoted as saying “There is more hunger for love and appreciation in the world today than for bread”.  Make sure your loved one knows how much you love and appreciate them today, to avoid a day when you wished you had listened to the relationship quotes.
