I can lay down in front of the fire for the evening in eight minutes.[Steven Wright] Quote:Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.[C.S.

It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. If you can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming across the lawn.[Mike Tyson] Quote:Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded.[Yogi Berra] Quote:I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.[George Carlin] Quote:The crowd makes the ballgame.[Ty Cobb] Quote:More than any time in history mankind faces a crossroads.

These articles are apparently based on the ludicrous assumption that men know how to fix things, when in fact all they know how to do is look at things in a certain squinty-eyed manner, which they learned in Wood Shop; eventually, when enough things in the home are broken, they take a job requiring them to transfer to another home.[Dave Barry] Quote:Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope.[Josh Billings] Quote:Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what IS that thing?![Jack Handey] Quote:I wish I had a kryptonite cross, because then you could keep both Dracula AND Superman away.[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.

It?s the age-old struggle?the roar of the crowd on one side and the voice of your conscience on the other.[Douglas MacArthur] Quote:Traffic is like a bad dog. It isn't important to look both ways when crossing the street. It's more important to not show fear.[P.J. O'Rourke] Quote:The quality of mercy is not strain'd, <br>It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven <br>Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: <br>It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. <br>'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes <br>The throned monarch better than his crown; <br>His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, <br>The attribute to awe and majesty, <br>Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; <br>But mercy is above this sceptred sway, <br>It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, <br>It is an attribute to God himself; <br>And earthly power doth then show likest God's, <br>When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, <br>Though justice be thy plea, consider this, <br>That in the course of justice none of us <br>Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; <br>And that same prayer doth teach us all to render <br>The deeds of mercy. [William Shakespeare] 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:Hey, what do you think drives all this grey matter up here? Electricity. It's brain waves surfing on synaptic junctions. If your radio can go out because of sun spots, why can't your cerebellum? It's all a matter of reception and it seems to me these signals are going to get crossed somehow. It's all logical. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:The conception of two people living together for twenty-five years without having a cross word suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep. [Ann Landers] Quote:Be entirely tolerant or not at all; follow the good path or the evil one. To stand at the crossroads requires more strength than you possess. [Heinrich Heine] Quote:The crowd gives the leader new strength. [Evenius] Quote:The most hazardous part of our expedition to Africa was crossing Piccadilly Circus.
