    Fear is the pain before the wound.

    Some people will believe anything that is whispered to them.

    Pride and professionalism is what keeps a man doing his best, even when no one is looking.

    News reporters are nothing but gossips disguised as historians.

    Having fun is a lot like insurance. The older you get, the more is costs.

    Talk about change, you used to be up the creek without a paddle. Now, you get up the information highway without a fast modem.

    Mankind is never truly thankful for the benefits of life until they have experienced the lack of them.

    There is always something to be thankful about. For instance, if you can’t pay your bills, be thankful you’re not one of your creditors.

    Never drop your gun to hug a bear.

    The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest amount of feathers with the least amount of hissing.

    Any more it seems that marriage is Nature’s way of keeping people from fighting with strangers.

    The best thing a man can do for his children is to love their mother.

    If corn oil comes from corn, where does baby oil come from?

    If tin whistles are made of tin, what are fog horns made out of?

    They say a fool and his money are soon parted, but, how did the fool and his money ever get together in the first place?

    The most efficient labor-saving thing is still money.

    I’m proud to be paying taxes in the US. The only thing is, I could be just as proud for half the money. Arthur Godfrey

    Do you realize that half the people in this world are below average?

    Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think.

    Hard work spotlights the character of people. Some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses and others don’t turn up at all.

    The problem with talking too much is you might say something you haven’t thought of yet.

    Yearn to understand first and to be understood second.

    Live so that when your children need a role model, they think of you.

    You can tell what a person is like by what he chooses when he is free to chose.

    I have heard this saying most of my life....I'm not for sure if Henry Ford or Abe Lincoln was the one who coined the phrase.

    One good measure of leadership is the caliber of the people who chose to follow.

    Never ruin an apology with an excuse.

    Be part of the solution, not the problem.

    If you put a humidifier and a dehumidifier in the same room, which one will win?

    If bread always lands buttered side down and cats always land on their feet, what would happen if you strapped some buttered bread on a cat’s back?

    Every morning is the dawning of a new error.

    Have you ever stopped to think, then forgot to get started again?

    Behind every successful man stands a lot of shocked people.

    Always and never are two words you should always remember never to use.

    With proper diet, rest and exercise, your body should last a lifetime.

    Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.

    What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

    What is the speed of dark?

    The hardness of butter is directly proportional to the softness of the bread and the severity of an itch is proportional to the reach.

    For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.

    Nothing in the universe travels faster than gossip.

    A wise man would never play leapfrog with a unicorn.

    Darkness doesn’t exist, dark is only a lack of light energy.

    Sorry Dennis the nerd in me could not resist. There was a question mark so I thought you wanted an answer!
