| Quote:When I first heard that Marge was joining the police academy, I thought it would be fun and zany, like that movie Spaceballs. But instead it was dark and disturbing. Like that movie -- Police Academy.[Homer Simpson] Quote:Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.[Adlai Stevenson] Quote:Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices the real murders. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.[Victor Hugo] Quote:Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of its filling a vacuum, it makes one. If it satisfies one want, it doubles and trebles that want another way. That was a true proverb of the wise man, rely upon it;[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Trust the man who hesitates in his speech and is quick and steady in action, but beware of long arguments and long beards.[George Santayana] Quote:I probably should never have been there anyway, and it served me right when the two alert police officers fired up their siren, pulled me over, and pointed out that my car's registration had expired. I had not realized this, and as you can imagine I felt like quite the renegade outlaw as one of the officers painstakingly wrote out my ticket, standing well to the side of the road so as to avoid getting hit by the steady stream of passing unlicensed and uninsured motorists driving their stolen cars with their left hands so that their right hands would be free to keep their pit bulls from spilling their cocaine all over their machine guns. Not that I am bitter.[Dave Barry] Quote:If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.[Dale Carnegie] Quote:The holy passion of Friendship is of so sweet and steady and loyal and enduring a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime, if not asked to lend money.[Mark Twain] Quote:The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and, instead of bleeding, he sings.[Ed Gardner] Quote:There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily.[George Washington] Quote:War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:To waste, to destroy, our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Instead of a trap door, what about a trap window? The guy looks out it, and if he leans too far, he falls out. Wait. I guess that's like a regular window.[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:Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Every minute you are thinking of evil, you might have been thinking of good instead. Refuse to pander to a morbid interest in your own misdeeds. Pick yourself up, be sorry, shake yourself, and go on again. [Evelyn Underhill] Quote:If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there and worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the loss of sleep. [Dale Carnegie] Quote:Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death.
