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:Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.[Louis Hector Berlioz] Quote:My favorite animal is steak.[Fran Lebowitz] Quote:If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying.

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:Children today are tyrants.

[Amos Bronson Alcott] Quote:The quality of mercy is not strain'd, <br>It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven <br>Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: <br>It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. <br>'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes <br>The throned monarch better than his crown; <br>His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, <br>The attribute to awe and majesty, <br>Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; <br>But mercy is above this sceptred sway, <br>It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, <br>It is an attribute to God himself; <br>And earthly power doth then show likest God's, <br>When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, <br>Though justice be thy plea, consider this, <br>That in the course of justice none of us <br>Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; <br>And that same prayer doth teach us all to render <br>The deeds of mercy. [William Shakespeare] Quote:Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, <br>Is the immediate jewel of their souls: <br>Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing; <br>'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands; <br>But he that filches from me my good name <br>Robs me of that which not enriches him <br>And makes me poor indeed. [William Shakespeare] Quote:Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut. [Ernest Hemingway] 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:You think a man is a man cause he wears team colors and guzzles beer in front of the tube? Can't you see, boys, the sands of time are dribbling through the hourglass? [Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess] Quote:Experience teaches slowly and at the cost of mistakes. [James A.

It involves no effort of independent thought, and seems rational because the teacher knows more than his pupils; it is moreover the way to win the favour of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man. Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life. It causes man to seek and to accept a leader, and to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:I have learnt silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers.
