Curtis There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works. There cannot be a crisis today; my schedule is already full. There is a difference between an open mind and a hole in the head.

There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot. --Stephen Wright There's a sucker born every minute. --P. T. Barnum There's always one more bug. There's at least one fool in every married couple. There's more planes in the ocean than ships in the sky! There's never time to do it right, but always time to do it over. There's no fool like an old fool, 'cause he's experienced. There's no future in time travel. There's no government like no government. There's no place like home.com! There's nothing wrong in being dumb, only in staying that way. There's so much to learn and so much of it not worth learning. Thesaurus: ancient reptile with an excellent vocabulary. These cookies don't taste anything like girl scouts! They are able because they think they are able. --Virgil They are not inherently narrow minded, but it is hard to find one who can look down both sides of an ax blade at the same time. They say give your money to God, but they give you THEIR address. They who give have all things; they who withhold have nothing. Things are more like they are now than they ever have been before. Things are more like they used to be than they are now. Things are not as bad as they seem. They are worse. Things work better if you plug them in. Think "HONK" if you're a telepath.

Those who do the most usually demand the least. Those who don't know talk; those who know listen. Those who flee temptation generally leave a forwarding address. --Lane Olinghouse Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. --George Santayana Those who know God will be humble; those who know themselves cannot be proud. Those who like sausage or political policy should not watch it being made. Those who live on mountain tops have a longer day than those who live in the valleys. Sometimes all we need to brighten our day is to go a little higher. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't. Those who live by the sword KILL those who don't. Those who think they know it all upset those of us who do. Thousands of journeys have a start but no end. Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead. Tilting at windmills hurts you more than the windmills. Time and words can never be recalled.

To destroy is easy, to build is hard. To scoff is easy, but to go on in the face of scoffing and to do what is right is the way of a man. --Louis L'Amour Bendigo Shafter To do nothing is in every man's power. To err is human - to blame it on a computer is even more so. To err is human; to moo bovine. To err is human; to forgive, infrequent. To err is human; to forgive is against company policy. To err is human; to blame it on someone else is more human. To err is human; to really foul things up requires a computer. To every rule there is an exception, and vice versa. To fail to prepare is to prepare to fail. To find a policeman in a hurry, double-park. To get a loan you must prove you don't need it. To have a friend you must first be one. To his dog every man is Napoleon. To iterate is human; to recurse, divine. To keep your friends treat them kindly; to kill them, treat them often. To know recursion, you must first know recursion. To know that we know what we know, and that we do not know that what we do no know, that is true knowledge. --Thoreau To laugh at men of sense is the privilege of fools.

You are making progress if each mistake is a new one. You are never fully dressed until you wear a smile. You are not thinking. You are merely being logical. --Neils Bohr to Einstein during a debate on Quantum Mechanics You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely. You are still young and useful at any age if you are still planning for tomorrow. You are what you are because that is what you want to be. You can always find what you are not looking for. You can die with serenity if you live for eternity. You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can make a fool of yourself anytime. You can give without loving, but you can't love without giving. You can go wrong by being too skeptical as readily as by being too trusting. You can govern men only by serving them.

You can't have a better tomorrow if you are thinking of yesterday all the time. You can't hug your kids too much. You can't impress anybody with what you'd like to be, but only with what you are. --David O. McKay You can't lead someone to somewhere you ain't going. You can't teach people to be lazy - either they have it or they don't. You can't teach a new mouse old clicks. You can't tell a book by its movie. You can't win them all, but you can sure lose them all. You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time. You cannot kill time without injuring eternity. You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back. You cannot run away from a weakness. You must fight it out or perish. You cannot tell how deep a puddle is until you step in it. You could have knocked me over with a fender. You don't buy beer, you just rent it. You don't have to be a cannibal to get fed up with people. You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them. --Ray Bradbury You go Uruguay, I'll go mine. You gotta know when to code 'em, know when to modem. You have 2 choices for dinner - take it or leave it. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be misquoted and used against you. You have to wonder about any period in history in which people are saying that God is dead and Elvis is alive. You have your problems, and I have yours. You know you're getting old when everything dries up or leaks. You live and you learn - or you don't live long. You live in a deranged age, more deranged that usual, because in spite of great scientific and technological advances, man has not the faintest idea of who he is or what he is doing. --Walker Percy You make ends meet, and they hate each other! You may now log in to life. Password: ________ You may shut your doors against a thief but not against a liar. You might as well fall flat on your face as lean too far backward. You never "find" time, but you can always "make" it. You never know what you can do until you try. --Franklin Pierce Adams You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive. You only have a problem if you think it is a problem. You will be a winner today. Pick a fight with a three-year old. You will never be younger than you are today - & vice versa. You will spend the rest of your life in the future. You will stay young as long as you learn, form new habits and don't mind being contradicted. --Marie von Eber-esenbach You'd make a perfect stranger. You'll never get dizzy doing a good turn. You're a loser when your dog gets a new best friend. You're never a loser until you quit trying. You're never alone with schizophrenia You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on. You're old when you forget how to start your rocking chair. You're only young once. You're immature forever. You've got to have an ace in the hole. You've got to hand it to the IRS. If not, they'll come and take it. You've reached middle age when all you exercise is caution. You've removed most of the roadblocks to success when you've learned the difference between motion and direction. --Bill Copeland Young flesh and old fish are best. Your choice about Jesus affects all other choices. Your E-Mail has been returned due to insufficient voltage Your ex just called. She's with the IRS now. Your home, and indeed some Cadillacs, have more computing power than many thirdworld nations. --Daniel Siewiorek. Your kid may be an honor student, but you are still an idiot. Your life is God's gift to you; what you do with it is your gift to God. Your life is the manifestation of your dreams; it is an art. And you can change your life anytime if you aren't enjoying the dream. --Don Miguel Ruiz Youth had been a habit of hers so long that she could not part with it. Youth isn't a time of life but a state of mind. Zeal without knowledge is fire without light. Zen congressmen pass transcendental legislation. Zen Druids practice Transcendental Vegetation.
