Gagler'sQuote of the DayJanuary 1999 Past Mailings to our Free Mailing List
"Truth hurts...not the searching after, the running
from." "Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better
defense." "Opinions that are well rooted should grow and change
like a healthy tree." "No, my friend, the way to have good and safe
government, is not to trust it all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing
to every one exactly the functions he is competent to. "It is by dividing and
subdividing these republics from the national one down through all its subordination's,
until it ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under every
one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best." "Life has to be in the moment, spontaneous and vulnerable. There isn't any winning or losing. Life itself, as it flowers in depth and
subtlety, is the reward, and it isn't always an easy or fun process. We must learn to see
that the issue of happiness is irrelevant. The relevant quest is the expansion of
consciousness." "The real winners in life are the people who look at
every situation with an expectation that they can make it work or make it better." "When we cannot bear to be alone, it means we do not
properly value the only companion we will have from birth to death - ourselves." "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died.
Rather, we should thank God that such men lived." "When a man goes on a date he wonders if he is going to
get lucky. A woman already knows." "Choose your rut carefully; you'll be in it for the
next ten miles." "Associate yourself with men of good quality if you
esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company." "It's hard to detect good luck - it looks so much like
something you've earned." "Never play cards with any man named 'Doc.' Never eat
at any place called 'Mom's.' And never, ever, no matter what else you do in your whole
life, never sleep with anyone whose troubles are worse than your own." "I went on a diet, swore off drinking and heavy eating,
and in fourteen days I lost two weeks." "A diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell
in such a way that you actually look forward to the trip." "The trouble with the world is that the stupid are
cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." "All the things one has forgotten scream for help in
dreams." "Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the
test first, the lesson afterwards." "Even when all the experts agree, they may well be
mistaken." "Freedom is not something that anybody can be given,
freedom is something people take." "Friends are God's apology for relations." "Some people will believe anything if you whisper it to
them." "The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming
it." "Bachelors should be heavily taxed. It's not fair that
some men should be happier than others." "Without passion man is a mere latent force and
possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth
its spark." "Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him
up." "The only time a woman really succeeds in changing a
man is when he's a baby." "I never exaggerate. I just remember big." "It is easier to do a job right than to explain why you
didn't." "I am amazed at radio DJ's today. I am firmly convinced
that AM on my radio stands for Absolute Moron. I will not begin to tell you what FM stands
for." |
