"Old age doesn't bring wisdom, but it does give perspective, and there is nothing more sad than looking back and seeing, far behind you, temptations you've resisted." -- Robert Heinlein
"The most preposterous notion that H. sapiens has ever dreamed up is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of all the Universes, wants the saccharine adoration of His creatures, can be swayed by their prayers, and becomes petulant if He does not receive this flattery. Yet this absurd fantasy, without a shred of evidence to bolster it, pays all the expenses of the oldest, largest, and least productive industry in all history." -- Robert Heinlein
"To be forgotten is never to have been at all." -- Me
"Happiness is a straight razor and diplomatic immunity." -- Me

Before we are liked by everyone, before we have seen it all, before we have learned it all; before we are perfect, we have no room to make fun of others.
and this one:
Slow down and enjoy the marathon of life. If we speed up and go for the finish line in a direct route, we we won't stop and smell the flowers.
and this one is funny:
There are three kinds of people in the world; ones that can count and ones that can't.

"As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man.
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began: --
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire."
- Rudyard Kipling

There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.
