Most people talk just to hear their own voices, some people talk to convey information. The hard part is that they both sound alike.

But that is not for us to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us

"My father used to tell me, "Alex, there is nothing wrong with being scared... as long as you don't let it affect you until the danger is over. Being hysterical is okay, too... afterwards and in private. Tears are not unmanly... in the bathroom with the door locked. The difference between a coward and a brave man is mostly a matter of timing." --Alex Hergensheimer in Job: A Comedy of Justice
--Robert A. Heinlein |

Don't bother telling people your problems. Most don't care and others are glad to hear of it.

The juvenile sea squirt wanders through the sea searching for a
suitable rock or hunk of coral to cling to and make its home for life. For this task it has a rudimentary nervous system. When it finds its spot and takes root, it doesn't need its brain any more so it eats it. It's rather like getting tenure. -- Daniel C. Dennett, in "Consciousness Explained" |

I heard this in a movie.
As I was walking up the stairs, I met a man that wasn't there. He wasn't there again today, I wish, I wish, he'd go away. |

Listen to the babbling brook. What do you hear? Do you hear the water? No. Water does not make sound. What you hear is the movement of the water.

In an insane society, the sane man inevitably appears insane. |

When a man and woman marry, she assumes that she can change him. He assumes that she'll never change.
They're both wrong. |

I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards. No nation was ever ruined by trade, even seemingly the most disadvantageous. Benjamin Franklin As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights. Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions. James Madison |

If I told you the next thing I say is the truth... but the last thing I said was a lie...would you believe me?
