It's no cakewalk being a single parent, juggling a career and family like so many juggling balls... two, I suppose.[Chief Wiggum] Quote:Put out an APB for a male suspect, driving a... car of some sort, heading in the direction of, uh, you know, that place that sells chili. Suspect is hatless. Repeat, hatless.[Chief Wiggum] Quote:In our civilization, and under our republican form of government, intelligence is so highly honored that it is rewarded by exemption from the cares of office.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:I never cared but for one thing, and that is simply to know that I am right before my Father in Heaven. If I am this moment, this day, doing the things God requires of my hands, and precisely where my Father in Heaven wants me to be, I care no more about tomorrow than though it would never come.[Brigham Young] Quote:Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:For the want of a nail, the shoe was lost; for the want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for the want of a horse the rider was lost, being overtaken and slain by the enemy, all for the want of care about a horseshoe nail.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:The act of defending any of the cardinal virtues has today all the exhilaration of a vice.[GK Chesterton] Quote:The Psalmists in telling everyone to praise God are doing what all men do when they speak of what they care about.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.[Dave Barry] Quote:Talking about golf is always boring. (Playing golf can be interesting, but not the part where you try to hit the little ball; only the part where you drive the cart.)[Dave Barry] Quote:A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere--'Bibles laid open, millions of surprises,' as Herbert says, 'fine nets and stratagems.' God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.[Mark Twain] Quote:The reason gas stations sell food, of course, is that the supermarkets are busy cashing checks. The supermarkets have to cash checks because the banks are busy mailing unsolicited credit cards to everybody in the Western Hemisphere. The result is that very few people fix cars.[Dave Barry] Quote:It is never okay to throw away veteran underwear. A real guy checks the garbage regularly in case somebody - and we are not naming names but this would be his wife - is quietly trying to discard his underwear, which she is frankly jealous of, because the guy seems to have a more intimate relationship with it than with her.[Dave Barry] Quote:You should do your own car repairs. It's an easy way to save money and possibly maim yourself for life.[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:I probably should never have been there anyway, and it served me right when the two alert police officers fired up their siren, pulled me over, and pointed out that my car's registration had expired. 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:Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves.[Dale Carnegie] Quote:Going to church doesn't make you any more a Christian than going to the garage makes you a car.[Laurence Peter] Quote:Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.[Colin Powell] Quote:Show me your hands. Do they have scars from giving? Show me your feet. Are they wounded in service? Show me your heart. Have you left a place for divine love?[Fulton J. Sheen] Quote:You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later, when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip.[Jonathan Carroll] Quote:Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry.[Bill Cosby] Quote:Speak softly and carry a big stick.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Success, the real success, does not depend upon the position you hold but upon how you carry yourself in that position.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:I walk on untrodden ground. There is scarcely any part of my conduct which may not hereafter be drawn into precedent.[George Washington] Quote:My observation is that whenever one person is found adequate to the discharge of a duty. Iit is worse executed by two persons, and scarcely done at all if three or more are employed therein.[George Washington] Quote:You got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.[Yogi Berra] Quote:We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.[Albert Einstein] Quote:A man can't be too careful in the choice of his enemies.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Some regard private enterprise as if it were a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look upon it as a cow that they can milk. Only a handful see it for what it really is--the strong horse that pulls the whole cart.[Winston Churchill] Quote:You shall be free indeed when your days are not without care nor your nights without a want and a grief, But rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound.[Kahlil Gibran] Quote:If eighty percent of your sales come from twenty percent of all of your items, just carry those twenty percent.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:No foreign policy - no matter how ingenious - has any chance of success if it is born in the minds of a few and carried in the hearts of none.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:Speak clearly, if you speak at all; carve every word before you let it fall.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:The books we read should be chosen with great care, that they may be, as an Egyptian king wrote over his library,[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Hosting the Oscars is like making love to a beautiful woman - it's something I only get to do when Billy Crystal's out of town.[Steve Martin] Quote:As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand.[Josh Billings] Quote:Of the delights of this world man cares most for sexual intercourse, yet he has left it out of his heaven.[Mark Twain] Quote:I don't care what is written about me, so long as it isn't true.[Dorothy Parker] Quote:Last night I was playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.[Steven Wright] Quote:For the wise men of old the cardinal problem had been how to conform the soul to reality. For magic and applied science alike the problem is how to subdue reality to the wishes of men.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:We all wish to be judged by our peers, by the men 'after our own heart.' Only they really know our mind and only they judge it by standards we fully acknowledge. Theirs is the praise we really covet and the blame we really dread. The little pockets of early Chrstians survived because they cared exclusively for the love of 'the bretheren' and stopped their ears to the opinion of the Pagan society around them. But a circle of criminals, cranks, or perverts survives in just the same way; by becoming deaf to the opinion of the outer world, by discounting it as the chatter of outsiders who 'don't understand,' of the 'conventional,' the 'bourgeois,' the 'Establishment,' of prigs, prudes, and humbugs.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:In politics, strangely enough, the best way to play your cards is to lay them face upwards on the table.[H.G. Wells] Quote:Campaign behavior for wives: Always be on time. Do as little talking as humanly possible. Lean back in the parade car so everybody can see the president.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art.[Baltasar Gracian] Quote:The man who carries a cat by the tail learns something that can be learned in no other way.[Mark Twain] Quote:If all the cars in the United States were placed end to end, it would probably be Labor Day Weekend.[Doug Larson] Quote:Take care of the luxuries and the necessities will take care of themselves.[Dorothy Parker] Quote:Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as [Gandhi] ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth.[Albert Einstein] Quote:The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it; so fine that we often are on the line and do not know it.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot, and I missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is precisely why I succeed.[Michael Jordan] Quote:I heard the bells on Christmas Day. Their old, familiar carols play. And wild and sweet the words repeat. Of peace on earth, good-will to men![Henry Wadsworth Longfellow] Quote:Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world, or even with a little more care in this very imperfect one) both partners might be found more suitable mates. But the real soulmate is the one you are actually married to.[J.R.R. Tolkien] Quote:Little else is requisite to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice: all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things.[Adam Smith] Quote:The only prize much cared for by the powerful is power.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.[Harry Truman] Quote:What would men be without women? Scarce, sir, mighty scarce.[Mark Twain] Quote:Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.[George Burns] Quote:Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than freedom to stagnate, to live without dreams, to have no greater aim than a second car and another television set.[Adlai Stevenson] Quote:Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.[John Wayne] Quote:Kids, just because I don't care doesn't mean I'm not listening.[Homer Simpson] Quote:I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do. That is character![Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:One of the great attractions of patriotism -- it fulfills our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat, what's more, with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:Some of your countrymen were unable to distinguish between their native dislike for war and the stainless patriotism of those who suffered its scars. But there has been a rethinking and now we can say to you, and say as a nation, thank you for your courage.[Ronald Reagan] Quote:It makes me mad when people say I turned and ran like a scared rabbit. Maybe it was like an angry rabbit, who was going to fight in another fight, away from the first fight.[Jack Handey] Quote:To me, it's always a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, 'Hey, can you give me a hand?,' you can say, 'Sorry, got these sacks.'[Jack Handey] Quote:To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kinda scary. I've wondered where this started, and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad.[Jack Handey] Quote:Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk.[Jack Handey] Quote:Poetry too is a little incarnation, giving body to what had been before invisible and inaudible.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.[Omar Bradley] Quote:Learning carries within itself certain dangers because out of necessity one has to learn from one's enemies.[Leon Trotsky] Quote:The President of the United States hears a hundred voices telling him that he is the greatest man in the world. He must listen carefully to hear the one voice that tells him he's not.[Harry Truman] Quote:The thing we all have to understand to put these last two years in focus, is that liberals in this country care more about whether European leaders like us than they do about whether terrorists are killing us.[Rush Limbaugh] Quote:The partisan, when he is engaged in a dispute, cares nothing about the rights of the question, but is anxious only to convince his hearers of his own assertions.[Plato] Quote:He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.[Friedrich Nietzsche] 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. If it isn't getting hit with lightning today, it's an earthquake tomorrow or some deer tick carrying Lime disease. Either way, you're ending up on the wrong end of the food chain. [Jeff Melvoin] Quote:What is it about genus arboretum that socks us in the figurative solar plexus? We see a logging truck go cruising down the road, stacked with a bunch of those fresh-cut giants, we feel like we lost a brother. Next thing you know, we're in The Brick, we're flopping money down on the bar. Wood. We're under a roof. Wood. We're walking the floors. Wood. Grabbing a pool cue. That's wood. Our friends in the forest carry a set of luggage from the mythical baggage carousel. Tree of life, tree of knowledge, family tree, Buddha's Bodhi tree. Page one of life, in the beginning. Genesis 3:22. Adam and Eve. They're kicking back in the garden of Eden and boom, they get an eviction notice. Why is that? "Lest they should also take of the tree of life, eat and live forever." A definitive Yahweh no-no. Be good to yourself, go out and plant a wet one on a tree. [Dr. Thomas Fuller] Quote:My definition of an expert in any field is a person who knows enough about what's really going to be scared. [Peter Ustinov] Quote:Dreams are postcards from our subconscious, inner self to outer self, right brain trying to cross that moat to the left. Too often they come back unread: "return to sender, addressee unknown." That's a shame because it's a whole other world out there--or in here depending on your point of view. [Dennis Koenig and Jordan Budde] Quote:You can take all the sincerity in Hollywood, place it in the navel of a firefly and still have room enough for three caraway seeds and a producer's heart. [Fred Allen] Quote:Family isn't about whose blood you have. It's about who you care about. [Trey Parker and Matt Stone] Quote:Liberals are very broadminded: they are always willing to give careful consideration to both sides of the same side. [Anonymous] Quote:I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't think you can measure life in terms of years. I think longevity doesn't necessarily have anything to do with happiness. I mean happiness comes from facing challenges and going out on a limb and taking risks. If you're not willing to take a risk for something you really care about, you might as well be dead. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Calendars are for careful people, not passionate ones. [Chuck] Quote:The Army has carried the American ... ideal to its logical conclusion. Not only do they prohibit discrimination on the grounds of race, creed and color, but also on ability. [Tom Lehrer] Quote:We are so vain that we even care for the opinion of those we don't care for. [Marie Ebner von Eschenbach] Quote:One of the things that keeps you from dropping them in the nearest volcano is that you had to work too hard to get them. You had to cry, you had to scream, you had to sweat, you had to cuss out health care officials, and when that's all over with, you'll be willing to put up with a lot more from your kids. [Barbara Hall] Quote:That's the secret of entertaining. You make your guests feel welcome and at home. If you do that honestly, the rest takes care of itself. [Barbara Hall] 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:True luck consists not in holding the best of the cards at the table; luckiest is he who knows just when to rise and go home. [Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:Nobody outside of a baby carriage or a judge's chamber believes in an unprejudiced point of view. [Lillian Hellman] Quote:Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city. [George Burns] Quote:The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not. [Eric Hoffer] Quote:The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not. [Eric Hoffer] Quote:The hatred you're carrying is a live coal in your heart - far more damaging to yourself than to them. [Lawana Blackwell] Quote:Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared. [Euripides] Quote:Be careful that victories do not carry the seed of future defeats. [Ralph W. Sockman] Quote:There art two cardinal sins from which all others spring: Impatience and Laziness. [Franz Kafka] Quote:The wise man carries his possessions within him.

Fox] Quote:I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business. [Michael J. Fox] Quote:Be careful -- with quotations, you can damn anything. [Andre Malraux] Quote:We're all capable of mistakes, but I do not care to enlighten you on the mistakes we may or may not have made. [Dan Quayle] Quote:The memory should be specially taxed in youth, since it is then that it is strongest and most tenacious. But in choosing the things that should be committed to memory the utmost care and forethought must be exercised; as lessons well learnt in youth are never forgotten. [Arthur Schopenhauer] Quote:This art of resting the mind and the power of dismissing from it all care and worry is probably one of the secrets of energy in our great men. [Charlie Chaplin] Quote:It's impossible to experience one's death objectively and still carry a tune. [Woody Allen] Quote:I wouldn't mind dying - it's the business of having to stay dead that scares the shit out of me. [R. Geis] Quote:Sarah Brightman couldn't act scared on the New York subway at 4 o'clock in the morning.
