| Quote:Love doesn't make the world go round.

I think it was called, 'The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.'[Homer Simpson] Quote:To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin.[Cardinal Bellarmine] Quote:They say love is around every corner. I must be walking in circles.[Author Unknown] Quote:Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Being a leader is like being a lady, if you have to go around telling people you are one, you aren't.[Margaret Thatcher] Quote:I do not think that the real reason why people accept religion is anything to do with argumentation. They accept religion on emotional grounds. One is often told that it is a very wrong thing to attack religion, because religion makes men virtuous. So I am told; I have not noticed it.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:A great many of those who 'debunk' traditional...values have in the background values of their own which they believe to be immune from the debunking process.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Congress, after years of stalling, finally got around to clearing the way for informal discussions that might lead to possible formal talks that could potentially produce some kind of tentative agreements...[Dave Barry] Quote:Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting.[Theodor Seuss Geisel] Quote:A guy could have one major limb lying on the ground a full ten feet from the rest of his body, and he'd claim it was 'just a sprain'.[Dave Barry] Quote:The appropriate age for marriage is around eighteen for girls and thirty-seven for men.[Aristotle] Quote:Life is not a support system for art. It's the other way around.[Stephen King] Quote:You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything, even poverty, you can survive it.[Bill Cosby] Quote:No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:I walk on untrodden ground. There is scarcely any part of my conduct which may not hereafter be drawn into precedent.[George Washington] Quote:Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. If you can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming across the lawn.[Mike Tyson] Quote:When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.[Mark Twain] Quote:A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.[Winston Churchill] Quote:Science is a first-rate piece of furniture for a man's upper chamber, if he has common sense on the ground floor.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.[Socrates] Quote:I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown.[Woody Allen] Quote:Stupid people surround themselves with smart people. Smart people surround themselves with smart people who disagree with them.[Author Unknown] Quote:Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around.[GK Chesterton] Quote:The movie's director is the pilot. It's his vision. For an actor, the time to worry about flying is when you're on the ground. If you don't want to fly with the director, don't get on the plane.[Denzel Washington] Quote:We all wish to be judged by our peers, by the men 'after our own heart.' Only they really know our mind and only they judge it by standards we fully acknowledge. Theirs is the praise we really covet and the blame we really dread. The little pockets of early Chrstians survived because they cared exclusively for the love of 'the bretheren' and stopped their ears to the opinion of the Pagan society around them. But a circle of criminals, cranks, or perverts survives in just the same way; by becoming deaf to the opinion of the outer world, by discounting it as the chatter of outsiders who 'don't understand,' of the 'conventional,' the 'bourgeois,' the 'Establishment,' of prigs, prudes, and humbugs.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I still have my feet on the ground, I just wear better shoes.[Oprah Winfrey] Quote:One deceit needs many others, and so the whole house is built in the air and must soon come to the ground.[Baltasar Gracian] Quote:Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you, and be happy.[Anne Frank] Quote:As the circle of light increases, so does the circumference of darkness around it.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.[Mark Twain] Quote:Look not back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around you in awareness.[Ross Hersey] Quote:To me, it's always a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, 'Hey, can you give me a hand?,' you can say, 'Sorry, got these sacks.'[Jack Handey] Quote:Whenever someone asks me to define love, I usually think for a minute, then I spin around and pin the guy's arm behind his back. NOW who's asking the questions?[Jack Handey] Quote:Instead of burning a guy at the stake, what about burning him at the STILTS? It probably lasts longer, plus it moves around.[Jack Handey] Quote:Every year, back comes Spring, with nasty little birds yapping their fool heads off and the ground all mucked up with plants.[Dorothy Parker] Quote:If these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. Hence both the necessity, and the perennial danger, of 'religion.'[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.[Michael Jordan] Quote:Truth is the only safe ground to stand on. [Elizabeth Cady Stanton] Quote:Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy. [Anne Frank] Quote:I have seen men fly bombers with their faces half- blown away. You're going to allow a few algebra formulas to ground you? [Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess] Quote:A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

[Tom Lehrer] Quote:If all the rich people in the world divided up their money among themselves there wouldn't be enough to go around. [Cicero] Quote:If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It's a time of year when the leaves are down and the harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it's time to reflect on what's come before. [Mitchell Burgess] Quote:They're slobbery and they're whiney and they look at you just like they could see right into your soul and they're unpredictable and the smell and they're noisy and the world revolves around them and why!? I don't get it. They're not interesting. They can't tell jokes, they don't have opinions, and they're boring, you know? They're just boring and annoying and I don't want to have one. [Barbara Hall] Quote:If there comes a little thaw, Still the air is chill and raw, Here and there a patch of snow, Dirtier than the ground below, Dribbles down a marshy flood; Ankle-deep you stick in mud In the meadows while you sing, "This is Spring." [David Assael] Quote:A rumor without a leg to stand on will get around some other way. [Oscar Wilde] Quote:The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.
