    Never let anything prevent you from doing what’s right.

    Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. Then when you do criticize him, you’ll be a mile away and barefoot.

    If you make people think they’re thinking, they’ll love you. But if you really make them think, they’ll hate you. People must be taught as if you taught them not and ideas unknown to them proposed as ideas forgot.

    Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform. Mark Twain

    Time you enjoy is not wasted.

    Sometimes people confuse an open mind with holes in their heads.

    Maybe the best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.

    They say a mockingbird can change its tune eighty seven times in seven minutes. They must be the envy of every politician.

    The Lord’s Prayer contains 66 words. The Gettysburg address is 286 words long. The Declaration of Independence has 1,322 words. But our federal government, in it’s “wisdom,” has regulations on the sale of cabbage that total 26,911 words!

    Truth will never be determined by a majority vote.

    The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part.

    Saying what we think gives a wider range of conversation than saying what we know.

    Treat reporters like you would a watchdog. Stay calm, be friendly and never turn your back.

    One of the most damaging phrases is, “Its always been done this way.”

    The chief obstacle to mankind’s progress is mankind.

    For three days after death, hair and fingernails continue to grow, but the phone calls taper off quite fast.

    Both fish and company stink after three days. Ben Franklin

    Maybe commercials are God’s way of punishing people for watching TV.

    Only the mediocre are always at their best.

    Might as well laugh at your mistakes, everybody else does.

    Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.

    Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today, it’s already tomorrow in Australia.

    If you have an apple and I have an apple, then we exchange apples, we will both have an apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea, then we exchange ideas, we will both have two ideas.

    We must be the change we wish to see in the world.

    Have you ever stopped to realize that most of the human beings on this planet were produced by unskilled labor? (And half of them are below average.)

    As scarce as truth is, the supply has always exceeded the demand.

    You can go wrong in many ways, but right in only one.

    A shortcut is often the quickest way to some place you weren’t going.

    Man does not live by bread alone, but it is comforting to know that should he so desire, there are about seventeen different varieties in the grocery store.

    Hints are dropped more often than they are picked up.

    A spark of genius won’t help if you have ignition trouble.

    The shortest distance between two points is between the ears.

    When in doubt, tell the truth.

    A mans worth does not depend on his age. After all, some men are worthless at any age.

    Think about it. If skill could be acquired by watching, dogs could become butchers.

    Opportunities may drop in your lap, but you have to have your lap where they drop.

    Someone who thinks logically is a nice contrast to the real world.

    All things being equal, fat people use more soap.

    There is always one more idiot than you counted on.

    War is not about who is right, it’s about who is left..

    Be curious. Knowledge won’t acquire you, you must acquire it.

    Criminal lawyer is an oxymoron.

    Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

    I don’t suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

    If we’re not supposed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?

    There is a terribly large gap between advice and help.

    The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts in the morning the minute you wake up and doesn’t stop until you get to work.

    Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there. Will Rogers

    The best way to win an argument is to begin by being right.

    Before borrowing money from a friend, decide which you need most.

    There’s never a traffic jam on the extra mile.

    One of the greatest labor-saving things is tomorrow.

    A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject. Winston Churchill

    A true friend is someone who is there for you when he’d rather be somewhere else.

    Money don’t buy happiness, but it does make an athlete want to renew his contract so he can make as much as some other athlete.
