"Eat Well! Stay Fit! ... "

Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you a mechanic.

Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

The most ignorant student can ask a question that even the most intelligent professor cannot answer.

My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

"What would you like to make for dinner?"  "Reservations."

Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.

It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.

A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.

There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.

Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.

Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.

The Trouble with "Been there, done that"

After all these years, I seem to have no deep yearnings.
What I have left are only superficial desires.

Appropriate dose (of anything)

Whether it is medicine, money, wind, rain, shine, sleet or snow, modesty, assertiveness, or confidence, the appropriate dose is:

"Enough, but not too much."

What's Most Important?

When all is said and done: relief is better than happiness.

Genius, Stupidity and The Infinite

From a genius (Albert Einstein) about being (or not being) one:

"... you all know the difference between genius & stupidity:
there is a limit to genius."
                                          Ref: http://www.quotedb.com/quotes/3834

"Only two things are infinite, the universe & human stupidity, 
and I'm not sure about the former."
                               Ref: http://www.quotedb.com/quotes/1349

"It's too bad that stupidity is not painful."
