To make a long story short, don't tell it.


If your left hand doesn't know what your right one is doing, you should consider running for a job in Washington.


Some minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.


Peace starts with a smile.


I don't know why some people change churches-what difference does it make which one you stay home from?


Outside of traffic, there is nothing that holds this country back as much as committees.


After all is said and done ~ more was said than done. There's always time for jell-o


When I want your opinion, I'll give it to you..

Just a couple of perspectives representing two extremes near the end of turbulent era.

History is hard to know because of all the hired bull****. But even without being sure of 'history.' it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then, the energy of a whole generation comes to a head in a long fine flash, for reasons that nobody really understands at the time and which never explain in retrospect, what actually happened. Hunter S. Thompson, '71.


Anytime the wind is blowing from the north where the B-52 strikes are turning the terrain into a moonscape, you can tell from the battlefield stench that the strikes are effective. Outside Kontum, wherever you dropped bombs, you scattered bodies.
John Paul Vann to an Army historian in '72.

A man I used to work for, when we were looking at a project that seemed impossible, would always say "Might as well do something, even if it's wrong."

My father's version, which I heard more than a few times in my teen years, usually when something wasn't working and needed to be fixed: "Don't just stand there, do something, even if it's wrong!"

My Husband always says.... "Whatever you be, be a good one. Even if it is a A**.

Some people are like a Slinky...........not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.


My life is ruled by..... "but for the grace of God, Go I"
