| Quote:Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die.[Mel Brooks] Quote:If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:If God had wanted us to be concerned for the plight of the toads, he would have made them cute and furry.[Dave Barry] Quote:I'm just like anyone. I cut and I bleed. And I embarass easily.[Michael Jackson] 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. That's why the people in charge of football don't want you to associate it with drugs. They want you to associate it with alcohol.[Dave Barry] Quote:Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:When we are debating an issue, loyalty means giving me your honest opinion, whether you think I'll like it or not. Disagreement, at this stage, stimulates me. But once a decision has been made, the debate ends. From that point on, loyalty means executing the decision as if it were your own.[Colin Powell] Quote:Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand.[Colin Powell] 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 better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six.[Yogi Berra] Quote:I would like to electrocute everyone who uses the word 'fair' in connection with income tax policies.[William F. Buckley] Quote:Too bad the only people who know how to run the country are busy driving cabs and cutting hair.[George Burns] Quote:Thus far, the reputed idiot Bush has graduated from Yale and Harvard, made a stack of cash in the oil industry, become the first consecutive-term governor of Texas, defeated a dual-term VP for the presidency, and led his party to [November 5th's] extraordinary triumphs. 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:I've occasionally heard that I was kicked out of Harvard for being a Communist, for dealing drugs, for corrupting minors, or for diverse other infractions of local decorum. Unfortunately, none of these rumors are true. The one I've heard more often is that I am dead. That one I encouraged, hoping it would cut down on the junk mail. It didn't.[Tom Lehrer] Quote:That would be a good thing for them to cut on my tombstone: Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgment.[Dorothy Parker] Quote:If devotion to truth is the hallmark of morality, then there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking...the alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short-circuit destroying the mind.[Ayn Rand] Quote:The contest for ages has been to rescue liberty from the grasp of executive power.[Daniel Webster] Quote:But could not our situation be compared to one of a menacing epidemic? People are unable to view this situation in its true light, for their eyes are blinded by passion. General fear and anxiety create hatred and aggressiveness. The adaptation to warlike aims and activities has corrupted the mentality of man; as a result, intelligent, objective and humane thinking has hardly any effect and is even suspected and persecuted as unpatriotic.[Albert Einstein] Quote:The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. 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:Although the most acute judges of the witches and even the witches themselves, were convinced of the guilt of witchery, the guilt nevertheless was non-existent. It is thus with all guilt.[Friedrich Nietzsche] 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."
