Boston Legal's Ass: This made me think...

I wish I said that

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Edmund Burke
~ ~ ~ ~
It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.

Thomas Sowell

~ ~ ~ ~
The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it.

Chinese proverb

~ ~ ~ ~
The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible -- and achieve it, generation after generation.

Pearl S. Buck

~ ~ ~ ~

There is nothing so comfortable as money, - but nothing so defiling if it be come by unworthily; nothing so comfortable, but nothing so noxious if the mind be allowed to dwell upon it constantly. If a man have enough, let him spend it freely. If he wants it, let him earn it honestly.

Anthony Trollope

~ ~ ~ ~
We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.

Charles Kingsley

~ ~ ~ ~
The tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goals, the tragedy lies in not having any goals to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream.

Dr. Benjamin Mays

~ ~ ~ ~
Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are...
Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow.

One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in my pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.

Mary Jean Iron

~ ~ ~ ~
It is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what might happen.

Herodotus

~ ~ ~ ~
If you have made mistakes...there is always another chance for you...you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.

Mary Pickford
~ ~ ~ ~
Today's empowered woman wants a loving relationship with a "real man" - and the first thing she wants to do is emasculate him..

Personal Issues

Why is it that when I walk into a room of 50 people and 49 of them like me that I spend all my time waxing that 1 person's ass so they will like me?

The next time I want to be a smartass and resort to name calling to provoke a response, would someone please slap me. Intuitive thought and reason work much better and is considerably more effective.

I should have been a Senator. I'm an expert on spending money... The trick is getting someone else to pay for it.
