Can anyone identify the author of this quote:
"Life is what happens to us, while we're making other plans"
I know John Lennon used it in one of his songs, but I can't
remember who said it originally...

>> "Life is what happens to us, while we're making other plans" I once saw "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans" attributed to Elbert Hubbard. Other than a few quotes like this, I don't know who Elbert Hubbard was. JPB | |||||
