(Playing golf can be interesting, but not the part where you try to hit the little ball; only the part where you drive the cart.)[Dave Barry] Quote:Drug testing is very big in football. This is because football players are Role Models for young people. All you young people out there want to grow up and have enormous necks and get knee operations as often as haircuts. That's why the people in charge of football don't want you to associate it with drugs. They want you to associate it with alcohol.[Dave Barry] Quote:I have never taken any exercise except sleeping and resting.[Mark Twain] Quote:Reading without reflecting is like eating without digesting.[Edmund Burke] Quote:The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe.

It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that; I'm right, and I will be proved right. We are more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first -- rock'n'roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.[John Lennon] Quote:Calm, lasting beauty comes only in a dream, and this solace the world had thrown away when in its worship of the real it threw away the secrets of childhood and innocence.[H.P.

These articles are apparently based on the ludicrous assumption that men know how to fix things, when in fact all they know how to do is look at things in a certain squinty-eyed manner, which they learned in Wood Shop; eventually, when enough things in the home are broken, they take a job requiring them to transfer to another home.[Dave Barry] Quote:I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:Mortal lovers must not try to remain at the first step; for lasting passion is the dream of a harlot and from it we wake in despair.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Some of your countrymen were unable to distinguish between their native dislike for war and the stainless patriotism of those who suffered its scars. But there has been a rethinking and now we can say to you, and say as a nation, thank you for your courage.[Ronald Reagan] Quote:The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.Workers of all countries...unite![Frederick Engels] Quote:In heaven all the interesting people are missing.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:If an elderly but distinguished scientist says that something is possible he is almost certainly right, but if he says that it is impossible he is very probably wrong.

Clarke] Quote:I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. [E. B. White] Quote:The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals. [Sir William Osler] Quote:Good habits result from resisting temptation. [Mark Twain] Quote:It has been my experience that one cannot, in any shape or form, depend on human relations for lasting reward. It is only work that truly satisfies.

Peter] Quote:Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

[Alfred Hitchcock] 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!?

[Barbara Hall] Quote:I don't think of the past. The only thing that matters is the everlasting present. [W. Somerset Maugham] Quote:The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved. [Confucius] Quote:Television is more interesting than people. If it were not, we would have people standing in the corners of our rooms. [Alan Corenk] Quote:Far better to think historically, to remember the lessons of the past. Thus, far better to conceive of power as consisting in part of the knowledge of when not to use all the power you have. Far better to be one who knows that if you reserve the power not to use all your power, you will lead others far more successfully and well. [Abraham Lincoln] Quote:Advertising may be described as the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it. [Unknown] Quote:I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn. [Henry David Thoreau] Quote:Mortal lovers must not try to remain at the first step; for lasting passion is the dream of a harlot and from it we wake in despair. [C. S. Lewis] Quote:The renown which riches or beauty confer is fleeting and frail; mental excellence is a splendid and lasting possession.
