I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them. 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. 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. 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. Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. You can widen your life by yourself, but to deepen it you need a friend. Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. What contemptible scoundrel has stolen the cork to my lunch? 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. 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. Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do 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. Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks. Books are the shoes with which we tread the footsteps of great minds. 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. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a ... brain operation. The great thing about a computer notebook is that no matter how much you stuff into it, it doesn't get bigger or heavier. Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children and no theories. Compassion alone stands apart from the continuous traffic between good and evil proceeding within us. True friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable. The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy. Reduce the complexity of life by eliminating the needless wants of life, and the labors of life reduce themselves. Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me. I discovered I always have choices and sometimes it's only a choice of attitude. 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. Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. Take away love and our earth is a tomb. 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. Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks. 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. The Eskimo has fifty-two names for snow because it is important to them; there ought to be as many for love. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. Love takes up where knowledge leaves off. Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club. 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. A positive attitude will not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. 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 best proof of love is trust. 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. Life is a waste of time, time is a waste of life, so get wasted all of the time and have the time of your life. You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club. What lies behind us and what lies before us, are only small matters compared to what lies within us. Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. 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. Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little order, will lose both and deserve neither. Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children and no theories. The problem with some people is that when they aren't drunk, they're sober. 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. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a ... brain operation. The great thing about television is that if something important happens anywhere in the world, day or night, you can always change the channel. A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea. 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. 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. 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. Hope is like a road in the country: there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence. Take away love and our earth is a tomb. The game of life is not so much in holding a good hand as playing a poor hand well. Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users? Compassion is the antitoxin of the soul: where there is compassion even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless. I discovered I always have choices and sometimes it's only a choice of attitude. Of cheerfulness, or a good temper - the more it is spent, the more of it remains. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstances. Who so loves believes the impossible. Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love. A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her. Life is a waste of time, time is a waste of life, so get wasted all of the time and have the time of your life. Distance between two hearts is not an obstacle; rather a great reminder of just how strong true love can be. Love takes up where knowledge leaves off. Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. 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. Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstances. The Eskimo has fifty-two names for snow because it is important to them; there ought to be as many for love. Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you. Not because they are nice, but because you are. Life is a waste of time, time is a waste of life, so get wasted all of the time and have the time of your life. A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years. The best proof of love is trust
