An expert is a man who tells you a simple thing in a confused way in such a fashion as to make you think the confusion is your own fault. ~William Castle If The Phone Doesn't Ring, It's Me. ~Song title by Jimmy Buffet Man was predestined to have free will. ~Hal Lee Luyah Maybe this world is another planet's hell. ~Aldous Huxley Murphy was an optimist. ~O'Toole's Commentary First rule of Nietzsche Club: No Kants. ~@NeinQuarterly (Nein. Eric Jarosinski, editor), 2014 January 16th tweet The only thing that stops God from sending another flood is that the first one was useless. ~Nicholas Chamfort The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he really is very good, in spite of all the people who say he is very good. ~Robert Graves The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't. ~Douglas Adams Ancient oceanic proverb: The enemy of my anemone is my frenanemone. ~Internet meme, 2015 The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us. ~Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes Today is the last day of some of your life. ~Author Unknown Without geography, you're nowhere. ~Author Unknown It's always darkest before the dawn.

Miss Fortune is ever sticking her nose in where it is not wanted. Miss Demeanor is ugly and haughty yet is constantly getting courted. Of Miss Ann Thropy we have a perfect abhorrence. Always steer clear of Miss Hap. Miss Judge, with a mind warped by the strongest prejudices, this lady exalts herself to pronounce sentence upon people's words and actions. She is closely related to Miss Construe and Miss Conception, to whom she is warmly attached, and greatly influenced by their counsel. Harm is in Miss Chief's nature, her presence invariably followed by evil consequences. Miss Be Havior is a daughter of the House of Incivility. Miss Nomer is erratic, by slips of memory and tongue; her course of action is more ludicrous than weighty. Miss Trust is afraid of her own shadow. Miss Print is a devotee of literary efforts. Whether it be that her manuscript is illegible, or the typo at fault, her articles never appear well. Miss Quote is of poetic temperament, emulates rhapsody, and is fond of reciting classics and poems of high order, but her recitations are incorrect. Miss Represent is a great talker and a born gossip. Not always does she mean to do harm, but she gives color to trifling words and actions that eventually grow into vast magnitude. Be sure to get a true wife and not a Miss Tress. [This is compiled from seven newspapers and magazines spanning 1818 through 1885, with some wordings slightly altered.

The Mafia gets points for having the best restaurants. ~David J. Beard (1947–2016), tweet, 2008 September 18th There's no such thing as fun for the whole family. ~Jerry Seinfeld The universe is merely a fleeting idea in God's mind — a pretty uncomfortable thought, particularly if you've just made a down payment on a house. ~Woody Allen My doctor says that I have a malformed public-duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fiber, and that I am therefore excused from saving Universes. ~Douglas Adams And on the eighth day God said, "Okay, Murphy, you're in charge!" ~Author Unknown May those who love us love us, and those who do not love us, may God turn their hearts, and if He cannot turn their hearts may He turn their ankles that we may know them by their limping. ~Irish Prayer When somebody tells you nothing is impossible, ask him to dribble a football. ~Author Unknown The chicken came first — God would look silly sitting on an egg. ~Author Unknown The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. ~Author Unknown Here's to the man who invented stairs And taught our feet to soar!
