Lewis] Quote:What seem our worst prayers may really be, in God's eyes, our best. Those, I mean, which are least supported by devotional feeling. For these may come from a deeper level than feeling.

Lewis] Quote:When I see a play and understand it the first time, then I know it can't be much good.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game.

I mean, if the Constitution is so great, how come it was amended so many times? Huh?[Dave Barry] Quote:There are many silly superstitions about lightning, and as a result many people - maybe even you - are terrified of it. You shouldn't worry. Thanks to modern science we now know that lightning is nothing more than huge chunks of electricity that can come out of the sky, anytime, anywhere, and kill you.[Dave Barry] Quote:Cooking was invented in prehistoric times, when a primitive tribe had a lucky accident. The tribe had killed an animal and was going to eat it raw, when a tribe member named Woog tripped and dropped it into the fire. At first the other tribe members were angry at Woog, but then, as the aroma of burning meat filled the air, they had an idea. So they ate Woog raw.[Dave Barry] Quote:I assume you are on the Internet. If you are not, then pardon my French, but vous ehzeh un big loser. Today EVERYBODY is on the Internet, including the primitive Mud People of the Amazon rain forest. In the old days, when the Mud People needed food, they had to manually throw spears at wild boars; whereas today they simply get on the Internet, go to www.spear-a-boar.com and click their mouse a few times (the Mud People use actual mice). Within three business days, a large box is delivered to them by a UPS driver, whom they eat.[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:The greatest friend of Truth is time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion Humility.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now.

When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead.[George Patton] Quote:The most important things are the hardest things to say.

I invariably answer, 'one word at a time.'[Stephen King] Quote:Time takes it all, whether you want it to or not. Time takes it all, time bears it away, and in the end there is only darkness.

If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know.[Saint Augustine] Quote:To us, the moment 8:17 A.M. means something - something very important, if it happens to be the starting time of our daily train. To our ancestors, such an odd eccentric instant was without significance - did not even exist. In inventing the locomotive, Watt and Stevenson were part inventors of time.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.[Bill Cosby] Quote:Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War.[George Washington] Quote:There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring.

Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.[Anne Frank] Quote:Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

For instance, my grandmother used to say, 'The black cat is always the last one off the fence.' I have no idea what she meant, but at one time, it was undoubtedly true. [Solomon Short] Quote:You think Nature is some Disney movie? Nature is a killer. Nature is a bitch. It's feeding time out there 24 hours a day, every step that you take is a gamble with death.

[Trey Parker and Matt Stone] Quote:I love life...Yeah, I'm sad, but at the same time, I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like...It makes me feel alive, you know. It makes me feel human. The only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I'm feeling is like a beautiful sadness. [Trey Parker and Matt Stone] 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:If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

[Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess] Quote:Time is just something that we assign. You know, past, present, it's just all arbitrary. Most Native Americans, they don't think of time as linear; in time, out of time, I never have enough time, circular time, the Stevens wheel. All moments are happening all the time. [Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess] Quote:He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it. [Douglas Adams] Quote:Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so. [Douglas Adams] Quote:Gratitude is born in hearts that take time to count up past mercies.

[Cicero] Quote:It is not worth an intelligent man's time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:Bureaucracy defends the status quo long past the time when the quo has lost its status. [Laurence J. Peter] Quote:If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It's a time of year when the leaves are down and the harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it's time to reflect on what's come before. [Mitchell Burgess] Quote:The true traveler is he who goes on foot, and even then, he sits down a lot of the time.

[Franklin D. Roosevelt] Quote:Being plied with fine food always puts me in mind of the slammer, cause the food was jumpin' in there too--high in fat but nice and salty.

I tell you what, enough Spyro Gyra and you're hoping you'll get killed in a knife fight. [Barbara Hall] Quote:Well, spring sprang. We've had our state of grace and our little gift of sanctioned madness, courtesy of Mother Nature. Thanks, Gaia. Much obliged. I guess it's time to get back to that daily routine of living we like to call normal. [David Assael] Quote:Wildness. We're running out of it, even up in Alaska. People need to be reminded that the world is unsafe and unpredictable, and at a moment's notice, they could lose everything, like that. I do it to remind them that chaos is always out there, lurking beyond the horizon. That, plus, sometimes you have to do something bad, just to know you're alive. [David Assael] Quote:You have to recognize when the right place and the right time fuse and take advantage of that opportunity. There are plenty of opportunities out there. You can't sit back and wait.

[Antoine de Saint-Exupery] Quote:By the time I'd grown up, I naturally supposed that I'd be grown up. [Helen Hayes] Quote:The time to pray is not when we are in a tight spot but just as soon as we get out of it. [Josh Billings] Quote:I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time. [H. L. Mencken] Quote:Be not ashamed of thy virtues; honor's a good brooch to wear in a man's hat at all times. [H. L. Mencken] Quote:ONE WHO WAITS: There are those who believe that time is a wheel turning forever. Which would mean that your moment will surely come.

I think that time is just time. [Geoffrey Neighor] Quote:I love drugs, but I hate hangovers, and the hatred of the hangover wins by a landslide every time.

Burns] Quote:They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. [Andy Warhol] Quote:There's something intrinsically therapeutic about choosing to spend your time in a wide, open park- like setting that non-golfers can never truly understand. [Charles Rosin] Quote:You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it's a little thing, do something for others - something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it. [Albert Schweitzer] Quote:Never seem more learned than the people you are with. Wear your learning like a pocket watch and keep it hidden.
