I saw the 1939 classic movie 'The Wizard of Oz' again over the holidays and it struck me how current the film still is. It was originally meant as a political satire of the time, but it's messages can still be applied in today's society. I think the following quotes are self explanatory about today's distorted views on courage, love, knowledge, belief and beauty.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz received praise from critics and readers alike. Critics applauded Baum's simple storytelling, his message, and his imaginative, believable characters. Readers fell in love with the wonders of Oz and demanded more books about this enchanted land. Although the book did not win any awards during Baum's lifetime, it was given the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1968.

Watched this movie last week inflight and that quote of the scarecrow about people who talk a lot really made me laugh, it's the quote that stuck after an 8hr flight. Reminds me of all the showoff people i've encountered who talks a lot but when you listen closely there's nothing relevant in all their blabber.. an empty can IS noisy indeed

If we should ever accomplish anything in life, let us not forget that we must persevere

When you sell your car to an auto scrap yard, they will strip it of all usable parts. Then they'll recycle anything that's recyclable.
