Here's one to start off:
There was a square dancer named Jill
Who had a crush on caller Bill
So when he sang 'Do-sa-do'
She just wouldn't go
But on the spot stood, admiring still
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle.
That's the thing.
- Monty Python (Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life)
He: "Can I have the last dance with you?"
She: "You are having it!"
You don't stop dancing from growing old,
you grow old from stopping to dance.
--Unknown
For the good are always the merry,
Save by an evil chance,
And the merry love the fiddle,
And the merry love to dance.
From “The Fiddler of Dooney” by W.B.Yeats
All the ills of mankind,
all the tragic misfortunes that fill the history books,
all the political blunders,
all the failures of the great leaders
have arisen merely from a lack of skill at dancing.
--Moliere
"We should consider every day lost on which
we have not danced at least once."
- Friedrich Nietzsche
"There is a bit of insanity in dancing
that does everybody a great deal of good."
- Edwin Denby
"Women have to do everything that a man does,
but backwards and in high heels!"
- Ginger Rogers
"It may be possible to do without dancing entirely.
Instances have been known of young people passing many, many months
successively without being at any ball of any description,
and no material injury accrue either to body or mind"
- Jane Austen (Emma)
