Newton's Little-Known Seventh Law:
	A bird in the hand is safer than one overhead.

If you want to understand your government, don't begin by reading the
Constitution.  It conveys precious little of the flavor of today's
statecraft.  Instead, read selected portions of the Washington
telephone directory containing listings for all the organizations with
titles beginning with the word "National".
		-- George Will

If you had any brains, you'd be dangerous.

Her locks an ancient lady gave
Her loving husband's life to save;
And men -- they honored so the dame --
Upon some stars bestowed her name.

But to our modern married fair,
Who'd give their lords to save their hair,
No stellar recognition's given.
There are not stars enough in heaven.

People will accept your ideas much more readily if you tell them that
Benjamin Franklin said it first.

If I don't drive around the park,
I'm pretty sure to make my mark.
If I'm in bed each night by ten,
I may get back my looks again.
If I abstain from fun and such,
I'll probably amount to much;
But I shall stay the way I am,
Because I do not give a damn.
		-- Dorothy Parker

Man 1:	Ask me what the most important thing about telling a good
	joke is.

Man 2:	OK, what is the most impo --

Man 1:	______TIMING!

It is not enough to succeed.  Others must fail.
		-- Gore Vidal
