| Quote:Always do right - this will gratify some and astonish the rest.[Mark Twain] 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:Men are born with two eyes, but only one tongue, in order that they should see twice as much as they say.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:A drama critic is a man who leaves no turn unstoned.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:The first thing I do in the morning is brush my teeth and sharpen my tongue.[Dorothy Parker] Quote:George Washington, as a boy, was ignorant of the commonest accomplishments of youth.

Sheen] Quote:I was gonna rip his heart out. I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been. No one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! He's no Alexander! I'm Alexander! I'm the best ever. I'm Sonny Liston. I'm Jack Dempsey. There's never been anyone like me. I'm from their cloth. There is no one who can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want his heart! I want to eat his children! Praise be to Allah![Mike Tyson] Quote:Weather forecast for tonight: dark.[George Carlin] Quote:When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.[Mark Twain] Quote:It is astonishing what an effort it seems to be for many people to put their brains definitely and systematically to work.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Washington is a city of Southern efficiency and Northern charm.[John F.

Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.[Jacob August Riis] Quote:If you're going to do something tonight that you'll be sorry for tomorrow morning, sleep late.[Henny Youngman] Quote:I have just returned from Boston. It is the only sane thing to do if you find yourself up there.[Fred Allen] Quote:One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:We cannot control the evil tongues of others; but a good life enables us to disregard them. [Cato the Elder] Quote:This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, <br>This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, <br>This other Eden, demi-paradise, <br>This fortress built by Nature for herself <br>Against infection and the hand of war, <br>This happy breed of men, this little world, <br>This precious stone set in the silver sea, <br>Which serves it in the office of a wall <br>Or as a moat defensive to a house, <br>Against the envy of less happier lands,-- <br>This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

My mind thinks because of you and I shall love because of you."

[Emily Dickinson] Quote:If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone - but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding. [Bette Davis] Quote:Under every stone lurks a politician. [Aristophanes] Quote:LEONARD: I've failed, Chris. I can't locate the white collective unconscious.<br>CHRIS: I wouldn't feel too bad about that. You know, western culture hasn't really carried the baton on folklore and mythology. The rise of Christianity put the kibosh on it--the gospel hits the number one best-seller list and everything else gets remaindered. [Barbara Hall] Quote:Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing. [Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:Science is facts; just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
