The door of a bigoted mind opens outwards so that the only result of the pressure of facts upon it is to close it more snugly.
Middle-age is when you’re sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn’t for you.

Some tortures are physical And some are mental, But the one that is both Is dental.
Humor is the best means of surviving in a difficult world.
Among other things I think humor is a shield, a weapon, a survival kit. So here we are several billion of us, crowded into our global concentration camp for the duration. How are we to survive? Solemnity is not the answer, any more than witless and irresponsible frivolity is. I think our best chance lies in humor, which in this case means a wry acceptance of our predicament. We don’t have to like it but we can at least recognize its ridiculous aspects, one of which is ourselves.

Over everything debatable and combatable

Particularly if he has income and she is pattable.
Celery, raw,

There has been a lot of progress during my lifetime, but I’m afraid it’s heading in the wrong direction.
The truth I do not stretch or shove
When I state the dog is full of love.
I’ve also proved, by actual test,
A wet dog is the lovingest.
I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Perhaps, unless the billboards fall,
I’ll never see a tree at all.
Time is so old and love so brief, love is pure gold and time a thief. We’re late, darling, we’re late, The curtain descends, everything ends, too soon, too soon.
Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker.
