It's just that they need more supervision.[Lynn Lavner] Quote:The reason gas stations sell food, of course, is that the supermarkets are busy cashing checks. The supermarkets have to cash checks because the banks are busy mailing unsolicited credit cards to everybody in the Western Hemisphere. The result is that very few people fix cars.[Dave Barry] Quote:There are many silly superstitions about lightning, and as a result many people - maybe even you - are terrified of it.

We have forgotten the gracious Hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.[Abraham Lincoln] Quote:Experience has taught me that there is one chief reason why some people succeed and others fail. The difference is not one of knowing, but of doing. The successful man is not so superior in ability as in action. So far as success can be reduced to a formula, it consists of this: doing what you know you should do.[Roger Babson] Quote:Everything except God has some natural superior; everything except unformed matter has some natural inferior.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I am indeed rich, since my income is superior to my expense, and my expense is equal to my wishes.[Kahlil Gibran] Quote:Inspiration may be a form of superconsciousness, or perhaps of subconsciousness - I wouldn't know.

[Robertson Davies] Quote:The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. [Confucius] 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:My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.
