Words of the Wise (aka: not me)

I'm not much of an insightful person....there, I said it. I don't really get into religious tizzies, and I particularly hate those that go on and one about being "one" with nature, God, their hobbies....etc. It always seems either (a) fake, (b) overdone, or (c) like they are trying to mask their inner misery by making everyone else feel out of touch with Zen. I do, however, love a good quote...particularly when it's funny and inspiring. So, ladies and gentlemen, here are some good quotes to light up your morning:

1) I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they are going to feel all day. (Frank Sinatra)

2) I'm an idealist. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way. (Carl Sandburg)

3) Be curteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. (George Washington)

4) A good lawyer is a bad Christian. (John Lothrop Motley)

5) Creationists make it sound like a "theory" is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night. (Isaac Asimov)

6) Question with boldness even the existence of a God; becaue, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear. (Thomas Jefferson)

7) A sense of humor is a major defense against minor troubles. (Mignon McLaughlin)

8) Beauty for some provides escape, who gain a happiness in eyeing the gorgeous buttocks of the ape or Autumn susets exquisitely dying. (Langston Hughes)

9) Think big thoughts, but relish small pleasures. (H. Jackson Brown, Jr.)

10) People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds...it is something one creates. (Thomas Szasz)

I hope y'all have a great day. I, on the other hand, will not profess to find myself or preach from a mountaintop....there are far too many superior quotes out there for that.
