| Quote:Who can endure a doctrine which would allow only dentists to say whether our teeth were aching, only cobblers to say whether our shoes hurt us, and only governments to tell us whether we were being well governed?[C.S. Lewis] Quote:It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.[Julius Caesar] Quote:I argue very well. Ask any of my remaining friends. I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this, and steer clear of me at parties.

Their mouths look like the entire $39.95 set of Ginsu knives, including the handy Arm Slicer.[Dave Barry] Quote:I don't know what the new Ford will be called. Probably something like the 'Ford Untamed Wilderness Adventure.' In the TV commercials, it will be shown splashing through rivers, charging up rocky mountainsides, swinging on vines, diving off cliffs, racing through the surf, and fighting giant sharks hundreds of feet beneath the ocean surface -- all the daredevil things that cars do in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, where nobody ever drives on an actual world. In fact, the interstate highways in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, having been abandoned by humans, are teeming with deer, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife species that have fled from the forests to avoid being run over by nature-seekers in multi-ton vehicles barreling through the underbrush at 50 miles per hour.[Dave Barry] Quote:I have not felt remotely cool for a long time, thanks largely to the relentless efforts of my teenage son, whose goal in life is to make me feel 3,500 years old. We'll be in the car, and he'll say, 'You wanna hear my new CD?' And I, flattered that he thinks his old man might like the same music he does, will say 'Sure!' So he increases the sound-system volume setting from '4' to 'Meteor Impact,' and he puts in a CD by a band with a name like 'Pustule,' and the next thing I know gigantic nuclear bass notes have blown out all the car windows and activated both the driver- and passenger-side air bags, and I'm writhing on the floor, screaming for mercy with jets of blood spurting three feet from my ears. My son then ejects the CD, smiling contentedly, knowing he as purchased a winner. On those extremely rare occasions when I like one of his CDs, I imagine he destroys it with a blowtorch.[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:Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.[Aristotle] Quote:The appropriate age for marriage is around eighteen for girls and thirty-seven for men.[Aristotle] Quote:The first thing I do in the morning is brush my teeth and sharpen my tongue.[Dorothy Parker] Quote:What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.[Thomas Paine] Quote:To love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person.[Erich Fromm] Quote:Old age is fifteen years older than I am.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:That woman speaks eighteen languages and she can't say 'no' in any one of them.[Dorothy Parker] Quote:It is our true policy to steer clear of any permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.[George Washington] Quote:Ambition is like a frog sitting on a Venus's-flytrap. The flytrap can bite and bite, but it won't bother the frog because it only has little tiny plant teeth. But some other stuff could happen and it could be like ambition.[Jack Handey] Quote:Love means having to say you're sorry every fifteen minutes.[John Lennon] Quote:Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.[Albert Einstein] Quote:When you work seven days a week, fourteen hours a day, you get lucky.[Armand Hammer] Quote:Football combines two of the worst things in American life. It is violence punctuated by committee meetings.[George Will] Quote:He who despises himself esteems himself as a self-despiser.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:He who despises himself nevertheless esteems himself as a self-despiser.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six, result happiness.
