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:Marriage is our last, best chance to grow up.[Joseph Barth] Quote:The good thing about being bisexual is that it doubles your chance of a date on a Saturday night.[Woody Allen] Quote:When you are in any contest you should work as if there were, to the very last minute, a chance to lose it.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:Philosophy is written in this grand book - I mean the Universe - which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written.

God is holding back to give us that chance. It won't last forever. We must take it or leave it.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Wherever any precept of traditional morality is simply challenged to produce its credentials, as though the burden of proof lay on it, we have taken the wrong position.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Because of the level of my chess game, I was able - even against a weak opponent, such as my younger brothers or the dog - to get myself checkmated in under three minutes.

Everyone is just waiting.[Theodor Seuss Geisel] Quote:People like to imagine that because all our mechanical equipment moves so much faster, that we are thinking faster, too.[Christopher Morley] Quote:Education doesn't change life much. It just lifts trouble to a higher plane of regard.[Robert Frost] Quote:Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.[Robert Frost] Quote:Drug testing is very big in football. This is because football players are Role Models for young people. All you young people out there want to grow up and have enormous necks and get knee operations as often as haircuts.

They want you to associate it with alcohol.[Dave Barry] Quote:To defend Western Europe we have to let the Pentagon buy all these tanks and guns and things, and the Pentagon is unable to buy any object that that costs less than a condominium in Vail. If the Pentagon needs, say, fruit, it will argue that it must have fruit that can withstand the rigors of combat conditions, and it will wind up purchasing the FX-700 Seedless Tactical Grape, which will cost $160,000 per bunch, and will have an 83 percent failure rate.[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.

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've done the calculation and your chances of winning the lottery are identical whether you play or or not.[Fran Lebowitz] Quote:What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about diet, isn't much better than tedious disease.[George Dennison Prentice] Quote:You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jellybeans.[Ronald Reagan] Quote:All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.[Aristotle] Quote:If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:The cable TV sex channels don't expand our horizons, don't make us better people and don't come in clearly enough.[Bill Maher] Quote:The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything.

Iit is worse executed by two persons, and scarcely done at all if three or more are employed therein.[George Washington] 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:Money buys you everything except the chance to do it again.[Matthew J. Clayfield] Quote:A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.[Winston Churchill] Quote:What a man's mind can create, man's character can control.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Washington is a city of Southern efficiency and Northern charm.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:The most ridiculous concept ever perpetrated by Homo Sapiens is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of the Universes, wants the sacharrine adoration of his creations, that he can be persuaded by their prayers, and becomes petulant if he does not recieve this flattery. Yet this ridiculous notion, without one real shred of evidence to bolster it, has gone on to found one of the oldest, largest and least productive industries in history.[Robert Heinlein] 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:A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and time in which it is used.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Science is a first-rate piece of furniture for a man's upper chamber, if he has common sense on the ground floor.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Sweet is the scene where genial friendship plays the pleasing game of interchanging praise.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Chaos in the midst of chaos isn't funny, but chaos in the midst of order is.[Steve Martin] Quote:Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering.

Let his opponents keep calling him stupid; if they do, within five years Bush will be King of England, the Pope, and world Formula One motor racing champion.[Tim Blair] Quote:True pacifism is not unrealistic submission to an evil power...it is rather a courageous confrontation with evil by the power of love, in the faith that it is better to be the recipient of violence than the inflicter of it, since the latter only multiplies the existence of violence and bitterness in the universe, while the former may develop a sense of shame in the opponent, and thereby bring about a transformation and change of heart.[Martin Luther King Jr.] 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:The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world.

Lewis] Quote:Though I am not naturally honest, I am sometimes by chance.[William Shakespeare] Quote:If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.[Winston Churchill] Quote:I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do.

It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. [William Jennings Bryan] Quote:Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character.
