I saw this great quote by Anthony Hopkins on Pinterest:
“None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you’re carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There’s no time for anything else.”
I LOVE this! Especially about eating delicious food and being weird.
Clicking on this and exploring more took me to pages of other wonderful quotes by other rather famous people. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/399272323223800193/?utm_campaign=homefeednewpins&e_t=7ff511e06ad344ea8fcadb95513b51ba&utm_source=31&utm_medium=2025&utm_content=399272323223800193&utm_term=14&news_hub_id=5358587510958115713
Contrary to Anthony Hopkins, Hippocrates had great wisdom for better health: “Before you heal someone, ask him if he is willing to give up the things that made him sick.” Sigh. I tend to like Anthony’s advice better…
Robin Williams’ one was a bit sad – but I can relate to it. “I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone.”
Einstein had several great ones, “Stay away from negative people. They have a problem for every solution.” and “I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.”
Not sure if you can open up this link but if you can opening it up is a pageful of quotes that have me nodding in agreement. Older people do have wisdoms that make us smile and get sad at the same time.
I love all the quotes no matter who said it.
I do spend time with people who make me happy.
And food… ummmm…. I am diabetic so I do have to be careful. But I’m not always thaaaat careful.
Mom’s A1c is not fabulous, but at 95, the doctor told us to let her have whatever she wants. So we are and she is very happy and very healthy too.
I do, too. They are sort of negative in the sense of staying away from some, but I think that is a good way to live.
Unfortunately, Anthony Hopkins or Keanu Reeves or other actors attributed to this quote didn’t come up with it.
It originated with a May 2015 post on the Sweatpants and Coffee Facebook page.

Sheesh. We live in an age of distorted truths that are so easily spread. But I still do enjoy wise quotes and I forget who said them anyway, so let the wise people spout!
I love Anthony Hopkins’ quote!
Me, too! But according to Ed, he didn’t say it.
