If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere. When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves. When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it. Books are the shoes with which we tread the footsteps of great minds. Too often we give our children answers to remember rather than problems to solve. Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer. I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them. Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstances. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years. Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little order, will lose both and deserve neither. A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea. You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club. Compassion alone stands apart from the continuous traffic between good and evil proceeding within us. The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind. You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer. Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. Autumn is the time when seasons merge because of bare necessity. Very little is needed to make a happy life. It is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy. A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea. Solitude, if rightly used, becomes not only a privilege but a necessity. Only a superficial soul fears to fraternize with itself. You can widen your life by yourself, but to deepen it you need a friend. Each encounter that becomes a friendship turns into a lifeline. One can never have too many, only too many to properly take care of. Yesterday is a dream, tomorrow but a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore to this day. When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let's all get drunk and go to heaven! What contemptible scoundrel has stolen the cork to my lunch? The great thing about television is that if something important happens anywhere in the world, day or night, you can always change the channel. Autumn is the time when seasons merge because of bare necessity. Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks. The problem with some people is that when they aren't drunk, they're sober. The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them. Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning. A book may lie dormant for fifty years or for two thousand years in a forgotten corner of a library, only to reveal, upon being opened, the marvels or the abysses that it contains, or the line that seems to have been written for me alone. In this respect the writer is not different from any other human being: whatever we say or do can have far-reaching consequences. Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users? You can widen your life by yourself, but to deepen it you need a friend. What the world really needs is more love and less paper work. The Eskimo has fifty-two names for snow because it is important to them; there ought to be as many for love. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light. Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them. Take away love and our earth is a tomb. No matter what looms ahead, if you can eat today, enjoy today, mix good cheer with friends today enjoy it and bless God for it. Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life. You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club. Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. Compassion alone stands apart from the continuous traffic between good and evil proceeding within us. Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up. Memory is a child walking along a seashore. You never can tell what small pebble it will pick up and store away among its treasured things. The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind. Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them. Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law. Compassion is the antitoxin of the soul: where there is compassion even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless. Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it. A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years. The quality of the moment is more important than the number of our days. Take away love and our earth is a tomb. Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer. Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me. Touch is the most fundamental sense. A baby experiences it, all over, before he is born and long after he learns to use sight, hearing, or taste, and no human ever ceases to need it. Keep your children short on pocket money - but long on hugs. Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea. The problem with some people is that when they aren't drunk, they're sober. When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it. Distance between two hearts is not an obstacle; rather a great reminder of just how strong true love can be. Love is the energy of the soul. Love is what heals the personality. There is nothing that cannot be healed by love. There is nothing but love. Too often we give our children answers to remember rather than problems to solve. Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. Who so loves believes the impossible. You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer. Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut. Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools. Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law. Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it. The game of life is not so much in holding a good hand as playing a poor hand well. The man who says I told you so is making an excuse for not expressing his position clearly in the first place. Hatch a dream and then believe it. Hatch a dream and then believe it.
