The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them. When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite. I heard someone tried the monkeys-on-typewriters bit trying for the plays of W. Shakespeare, but all they got was the collected works of Francis Bacon. The Eskimo has fifty-two names for snow because it is important to them; there ought to be as many for love. If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere. Love is the immortal flow of energy that nourishes, extends and preserves. Its eternal goal is life. Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind. Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws. The man who says I told you so is making an excuse for not expressing his position clearly in the first place. The only difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad. A narcissist is someone better looking than you are. Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut. Give me chastity and continence, but not yet. 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. His ignorance is encyclopedic Logic is in the eye of the logician.Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her. Blessed is the man, who having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact. Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users? All love shifts and changes. I don't know if you can be wholeheartedly in love all the time. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered. Books are the shoes with which we tread the footsteps of great minds. In the end, everything is a gag. He is one
 of those people who would be enormously improved by death. The Babylon project was our last, best hope for peace. .. It failed. .. But in the year of the Shadow war it became something greater: our last, best hope .. for victory. The year is 2260, the place: Babylon 5.I've had a wonderful time, but this wasn't it. 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! A doctor can bury his mistakes but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines. The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered. In the end, everything is a gag. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered. 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. We have art to save ourselves from the truth. A clever man commits no minor blunders. A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both. I begin by taking. I shall find scholars later to demonstrate my perfect right. It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity. Abstainer: a weak person who yields to the temptation of denying himself a pleasure. If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. We have art to save ourselves from the truth. I can write better than anybody who can write faster, and I can write faster than anybody who can write better. Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law. Sleep is an excellent way of listening to an opera. The man who says I told you so is mak
ing an excuse for not expressing his position clearly in the first place. It's kind of fun to do the impossible. Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. The best proof of love is trust. No elected body is the country, we are the country. You and me. Us. It can only stay that way as long as we care to keep it so. Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you. Not because they are nice, but because you are. Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake. Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. 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. God, please save me from your followers! If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. Solitude, if rightly used, becomes not only a privilege but a necessity. Only a superficial soul fears to fraternize with itself. Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. The problem with some people is that when they aren't drunk, they're sober. C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg. How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself. Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler. Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity. Dancing is silent poetry. Basically, I no longer work for anything but the sensation I have while working. I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to inte
rpret it as though it had an underlying truth. If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere. 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. I've had a wonderful time, but this wasn't it. All right, Brain, I don't like you and you don't like me -- so let's just do this and I'll get back to killing you with beer. In any contest between power and patience, bet on patience. In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. A little inaccuracy sometimes saves a ton of explanation. Distance between two hearts is not an obstacle; rather a great reminder of just how strong true love can be. Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind. No elected body is the country, we are the country. You and me. Us. It can only stay that way as long as we care to keep it so. A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a shp, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. Be nice to people on your way up because you meet them on your way down. Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do. Very little is needed to make a happy life. It is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea. A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.
