Let these funny Unlikely Quotes from my large collection of funny quotes about life add a little humor to your day.

is unlikely to be the source of a fulfilling life.

Working at a job you hate is unlikely
to bring you either happiness or success.

Just as in the comedies, a person who is in love
with the idea of love sees prospective partners
through the lens of idealism.
The reaction is, "This must be the one.
They are so perfect - the match of my dreams."
Is that person they just met a perfect match?
It's unlikely their friends think so.
So what happened? That person with the cute smile
was not much more than a mirror for the hopes and dreams
of the one in love with love.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Consider being more acceptive of your partner's behaviors.
It is unlikely that they are intentionally aggravating you.
Almost always, they are just doing what they think they should do.
Try setting aside your own rules for how they should behave,
and adopt a live-and-let-live attitude.
Your relationship will become stronger and happier if you do.

but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy,

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought

and exposing the country to danger.
It works the same in every country.
