Some Old, Some New.

It is a mistake to subscribe to reality unless you also subscribe to the annual updates.

While I like a politician who claims to know what I deserve, I would hope he/she is better informed on other subjects.

The obstacle to having a better-informed electorate is that the people elected to office rarely see it as a problem. 

I have heard many descriptions of hell that sound like hell, but I have never heard a description of heaven that sounds like heaven.  Eternal hellfire is easy to imagine.  It is harder to imagine an eternity of anything being heavenly. 

All I know about wisdom is that it lies somewhere beyond ignorance and short of certainty.

The Happiness Chase

I have never envied another's material possessions, although I have envied the happiness they get from them.

There are days when I am unaccountably happy, and, in fact, that is usually the reason for it.

There are reasons for happiness and reasons for unhappiness, although unhappiness seems to be the more ingenious in coming up with them.

I compare the pursuit of happiness to a day of fishing -- it helps if you stock the pond.
