Daily Quotes
James Thurber
I used to wake up at 4 A.M. and start sneezing, sometimes for five hours. I tried to find out what sort of allergy I had but finally came to the conclusion that it must be an allergy to consciousness.
H. L. Mencken
Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.
Jack Handey Deep Thoughts
One day one of my little nephews came up to me and asked me if the equator was a real line that went around the Earth, or just an imaginary one. I had to laugh. Laugh and laugh. Because I didn't know, and I thought that maybe by laughing he would forget what he asked me.
Isaiah 4031 Bible
They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings as eagles they shall run, and not be weary they shall walk and not faint.
Albert Camus
In the depths of winter I finally learned there was in me an invincible summer.
Unknown
A stitch in time would have confused Einstein.
Philip James Bailey

Jack Handey Deep Thoughts
If the captain invited me to his party, after he had whipped me earlier in the day, up on deck, I guess I'd go, but I'd try to find some excuse to leave early.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
We always like those who admire us we do not always like those whom we admire.
Euripides
Youth is the best time to be rich and the best time to be poor.
Eric Hoffer
Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life. Thus people haunted by the purposelessness of their lives try to find a new content not only by dedicating themselves to a holy cause but also by nursing a fanatical grievance. A mass movement offers them unlimited opportunities for both.
Beranrd Levin
Ask a man which way he is going to vote, and he will probably tell you. Ask him, however, why, and vagueness is all.
