Lewis] Quote:And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags.

That's where I was born. That's where I'm safe.[Michael Jackson] Quote:To defend Western Europe we have to let the Pentagon buy all these tanks and guns and things, and the Pentagon is unable to buy any object that that costs less than a condominium in Vail. If the Pentagon needs, say, fruit, it will argue that it must have fruit that can withstand the rigors of combat conditions, and it will wind up purchasing the FX-700 Seedless Tactical Grape, which will cost $160,000 per bunch, and will have an 83 percent failure rate.[Dave Barry] Quote:On the Japanese news, if the announcers had happy faces and perky voices, I knew that meant good news, such as that Japanese scientists had discovered a way to make VCR's even more difficult for Americans to program; whereas if the announcers had serious voices and frowny faces, it meant bad news, such as the worsening eel shortage.[Dave Barry] Quote:Remember that as a teenager you are at the last stage of your life when you will be happy to hear that the phone is for you.[Fran Lebowitz] Quote:He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper.[Edmund Burke] Quote:Baseball has the great advantage over cricket of being sooner ended.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:When we are debating an issue, loyalty means giving me your honest opinion, whether you think I'll like it or not.

From that point on, loyalty means executing the decision as if it were your own.[Colin Powell] Quote:Life should begin with age and its privileges and accumulations, and end with youth and its capacity to splendidly enjoy such advantages.[Mark Twain] Quote:There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man's life to know them the little new that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave.[Ernest Hemingway] Quote:Happiness consists in activity. It is running stream, not a stagnant pool.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is that considered a hostage situation?[Steven Wright] Quote:Life is a fatal complaint, and an eminently contagious one.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:The mintage of wisdom is to know that rest is rust, and that real life is in love, laughter, and work.[Elbert Hubbard] Quote:I think luck is the sense to recognize an opportunity and the ability to take advantage of it...
