How long a minute is, depends on which side of the bathroom door you`re on. Consciousness: That annoying time between naps. If your dog is fat, you aren't getting enough exercise. How do you know when you run out of invisible ink? Male zebras have white stripes, but female zebras have black stripes. No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does. We don't make mistakes, we have happy little accidents. You know, the more I see of people, the more I like pigs. The first myth of management is that it exists. The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think. Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your kids. A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell and make you feel happy to be on your way. I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure. If you think nobody cares you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments. All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy. -Spike Milligan When you are in it up to your ears, keep your mouth shut. Eighty percent of all people consider themselves to be above average drivers. A truly wise man never plays leapfrog with a unicorn. There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, hire someone, or forbid your kids to do it. The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was. Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months. Just because your doctor has a name for your condition doesn't mean he knows what it is. Drive defensively. Buy a tank. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it. "Mr Gandhi, what do you think of Western Civilization?" "I think it would be a good idea." If you have a difficult task, give it to someone lazy ... that person will find an easier way to do it. The sooner you fall behind, the more time you will have to catch up. Schizophrenia beats dining alone. There will always be a battle between the sexes because men and women want different things. Men want women and women want men. The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well. I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder. Ever stop to think, and forget to start again? Me a skeptic? I hope you have proof. Everyone has a right to be stupid. Some just abuse the privilege. My wife said I never listen to her. At least I think that's what she said. I'm not into working out. My philosophy: No pain, no pain. I don't suffer from stress. I'm a carrier. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway. I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it... I intend to live forever - so far, so good. Life is a sexually transmitted, fatal disease... If it wasn't for C, we'd be writing programs in BASI, PASAL, and OBOL. Booting error, no keyboard detected: press F1 to continue, press F2 to abort. Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot. My software never has bugs. It just develops random features. A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men. "When the choice is to be right or to be kind, always make the choice that brings peace." -Dr. Wayne Dyer "Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth. We are happy when we are growing." -William Butler Yeats "If you have it, you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter what else you have." -Sir James M. Barrie "He that walketh with wise men shall be wise…." -Proverbs 13:20 "Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure." -Norman Vincent Peale "You are the sum total of all of your choices up to now." -Dr. Wayne Dyer "Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead." -Louisa May Alcott "Goals are dreams we convert to plans and take action to fulfill." -Zig Ziglar "People are always blaming circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them." -George Bernard Shaw "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." -Calvin Coolidge "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." -Henry David Thoreau "One man gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want." -Proverbs 11:24 "The high destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule" -Albert Einstein "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself; nothing, but the triumph of principles." -Ralph Waldo Emerson "Five enemies of peace inhabit with us—avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride; if these were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace." -Petrarch "Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have." -Doris Mortman "There is no stress in the world, only people thinking stressful thoughts." -Dr. Wayne Dyer "Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace." -Albert Schweitzer "Peace starts with a smile" -Mother Teresa "Peace of mind is not the absence of conflict from life, but the ability to cope with it." -Anonymous "There is no way to peace. Peace is the way." -A.J. Muste "Those for whom peace is no more than a dream are asleep to the future." -Jack DuVall "A mind at peace, a mind focused on not harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe." -Dr. Wayne Dyer "You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments that stand out, the moments when you have really lived, are the moments when you have done things in a sprit of love." -Henry Drummond "When we have done our best, we should wait the result in peace." -J. Lubbock "Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you." -Nathaniel Hawthorne "Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself." -Og Mandino "Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude." -Denis Waitley "The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love and something to hope for." -Allan K. Chalmers "Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, Not because they never found it, But because they didn't stop to enjoy it." -William Faulkner "Most people are searching for happiness. They're looking for it. They're trying to find it in someone or something outside of themselves. That's a fundamental mistake.

It is a running stream not a stagnant pool." -John Mason Good "If you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured, it may never arrive. Mountains will not be climbed, races won, or lasting happiness achieved." -Maurice Chevalier "Happiness… it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort." -Franklin Delano Roosevelt "The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved – loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves." -Victor Hugo "Remember happiness doesn't depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think." -Dale Carnegie "Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible – it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could." -Barbara DeAngelis "Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude." -I Corinthians "Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essence." -Vincent Van Gogh "Love is the master key which opens the gates of happiness." -Oliver Wendell Holmes "Treasure the love you receive above all.

Faith is necessary to victory." -William Hazlitt "Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it by the handle of anxiety, or by the handle of faith." -Author Unknown "In actual life every great enterprise begins with and takes its first forward step in faith." -Friedrich Von Schlegel "If you can't have faith in what is held up to you for faith, you must find things to believe in yourself, for a life without faith in something is too narrow a space to live." -Alec Bourne "On a long journey of human life, faith is the best of companions; it is the best refreshment on the journey; and it is the greatest property." -Buddha "It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one.

Be in the present because that is where life resides." -Gene Oliver "Seek the wisdom of the ages, but look at the world through the eyes of a child." -Ron Wild "These days people seek knowledge, not wisdom. Knowledge is of the past, wisdom is of the future." -Vernon Cooper "Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know… One who doesn't try cannot fail and become wise." -William Saroyan "Wisdom is knowledge which has become a part of one's being…." -Orison Swett Marden "Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood." -Ralph Waldo Emerson "Of all the things which wisdom provides to make us entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship." -Epicurus "Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use." -Thomas J. Watson "Whether you think you can or think you can't, you are right." -Henry Ford "We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts.
