>
> 1.      Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a
laxative
> in the same night.
>
> 2.      If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race
> has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word
would
> be "meetings."
>
> 3.      There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
>
> 4.      People who want to share their religious views with you almost
never
> want you to share yours with them.
>
> 5.      And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its
> glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as His
> messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.
>
> 6.      You should not confuse your career with your life.
>
> 7.      No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too
> seriously.
>
> 8.      When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one
> individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command.  Very
> often, that individual is crazy.
>
> 9.      Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
>

>
> 13.  You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling
> reason why we observe daylight savings time.

> 14.     You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely
suggests
> that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging
from
> her at that moment.
>
> 15.  There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to
make a
> big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
>
> 16.     The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age,
> gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down
> inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
>
> 17.     The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to
annoy
> people who are not in them.
>
> 18.     A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice
> person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
>
> 19.     Your friends love you anyway.
>
> Thought for the day: Never be afraid to try something new.
> Remember: A lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals
built
> the Titanic.
