Funny Quotes about Streets

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

of heaven and earth will pause to say,
here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.

part of ourselves out to play.
Notice that I didn't say "never," I said "seldom."

and nothing about Halloween is NOT outrageous.

Move on and let go.
Life can be joyful and rewarding again.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, - I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
