Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
-James Bovard,
I had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased
to read the description in the catalogue: - 'No good in a bed, but fine
against a wall.'
- Eleanor Roosevelt
We could certainly slow the aging process down if it had to work its way
through Congress. Will Rogers
It's easy to foster fallacious delusions,
Just fiddle the facts to fit foregone conclusions.
Protect your money, don't abuse it,
Unless you can afford to lose it.
Of compromises, life is full,
For every push there'll be a pull,
So seek a mean that's sensible.
Experience teaches it's wise to be leery,
Of something explained with an intricate theory.
If every conclusion were known in advance,
We'd only take actions we knew would enhance,
But it would be boring with naught left to chance.
Those who reason most illogically,
State their views most demagogically.
Casinos have action for those in the clover,
But, run out of dough and the thrill is all over.
First, exercise perspective in defining your objective,
Then, follow the directive that statistics show effective.
If your wallet's bigger than your britches,
You've defied what economics teaches.
Being in the catbird seat,
While a situation sweet,
May not circumvent defeat.
In resolving an impasse you may find it effective,
To consider the problem from a whole new perspective.
“If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a life time, help someone else.”

"Time is too slow for the waiting.
Time is too fast for the fears.
Time is too long, for that is sad.
Time is too short for the happy.
But love for the means time - eternity ..,"

François VI, duke de La Rochefoucauld, born in Paris (1613), an author whose entire literary reputation is based on a single slim book that he published in 1665 called Maxims, a collection of humorous and ironic maxims about human life and behavior.
Rochefoucauld wrote:
"There are some people who would never have fallen in love if they
....................had not heard that there was such a thing."
... "Everybody complains of his memory, but nobody of his judgment."
... "We all have strength enough to endure the troubles of others."
