Just Sayin'

 "You might sometimes convince me by arguing from greater experience, but you will seldom convince me by arguing from greater revelation."

From Our Resident Curmudgeon

 "Man is the only animal who lives in a zoo of his own construction."

"No one ever took free advice who had a chance to pay for it."

"The requirements of living conspire every day to overwhelm the purpose of life."

"There are people who are like a vehicle whose turn signal didn't flip off, and they go through life forever signaling a turn they don't make."

"As a rule of thumb, figure that the words you say will be misinterpreted in as many ways as they can be rearranged."

Happy People

 "While there's pleasure to be found in good food and drink, it is not happiness.  What you discover about happy people, in fact, is that they are usually late for meals."

The Fruit Untasted

"Life is more a basket of kumquats than a bowl of cherries, a recollection of so many things you kumquat find a moment to do."
