The quality of the moment is more important than the number of our days. Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so. Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstances. Don't be so humble - you are not that great. Love is the immortal flow of energy that nourishes, extends and preserves. Its eternal goal is life. His ignorance is encyclopedic Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it. Everything has been figured out, except how to live. One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important. He who has a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered. Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little order, will lose both and deserve neither. In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance. Abstainer: a weak person who yields to the temptation of denying himself a pleasure. Give me a museum and I'll fill it. Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they're yours. Fill what's empty, empty what's full, and scratch where it itches. A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous. I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. It is much more comfortable to be mad and know it, than to be sane and have one's doubts. In the end, everything is a gag. Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life. Black holes are where God divided by zero. Talent does what it can; genius does what it must. The Babylon project was our last, best hope for peace. .. It failed. .. But in the year of the Shadow war it became something greater: our last, best hope .. for victory. The year is 2260, the place: Babylon 5.Whenever I climb I am followed by a dog called 'Ego'. 24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? Love is the energy of the soul. Love is what heals the personality. There is nothing that cannot be healed by love. There is nothing but love. Touch is the most fundamental sense. A baby experiences it, all over, before he is born and long after he learns to use sight, hearing, or taste, and no human ever ceases to need it. Keep your children short on pocket money - but long on hugs. I would have made a good Pope. Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do. I would like to believe when I die that I have given myself away like a tree that sows seed every spring and never counts the loss, because it is not loss, it is adding to future life. It is the tree's way of being. Strongly rooted perhaps, but spilling out its treasure on the wind. 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. From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it. It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion. Love is the immortal flow of energy that nourishes, extends and preserves. Its eternal goal is life. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy. Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact. Everyone is a genius at least once a year; a real genius has his original ideas closer together. A doctor can bury his mistakes but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines. Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users? There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life. Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love. If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe. This book fills a much-needed gap. What the world really needs is more love and less paper work. The only difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad. The Eskimo has fifty-two names for snow because it is important to them; there ought to be as many for love. The quality of the moment is more important than the number of our days. Compassion is the antitoxin of the soul: where there is compassion even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless. When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world. No elected body is the country, we are the country. You and me. Us. It can only stay that way as long as we care to keep it so. Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome. Touch is the most fundamental sense. A baby experiences it, all over, before he is born and long after he learns to use sight, hearing, or taste, and no human ever ceases to need it. Keep your children short on pocket money - but long on hugs. Love is the energy of the soul. Love is what heals the personality. There is nothing that cannot be healed by love. There is nothing but love. 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. Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of being. From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it. A book may lie dormant for fifty years or for two thousand years in a forgotten corner of a library, only to reveal, upon being opened, the marvels or the abysses that it contains, or the line that seems to have been written for me alone. In this respect the writer is not different from any other human being: whatever we say or do can have far-reaching consequences. Of cheerfulness, or a good temper - the more it is spent, the more of it remains. He who has a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'. The man who says I told you so is making an excuse for not expressing his position clearly in the first place. When ideas fail, words come in very handy. Abstainer: a weak person who yields to the temptation of denying himself a pleasure. It's kind of fun to do the impossible. Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little order, will lose both and deserve neither. Love is the energy of the soul. Love is what heals the personality. There is nothing that cannot be healed by love. There is nothing but love. When ideas fail, words come in very handy. Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens. I think 'Hail to the Chief' has a nice ring to it. Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life. You can widen your life by yourself, but to deepen it you need a friend. The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it. Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems. Compassion is the antitoxin of the soul: where there is compassion even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless. Love is the energy of the soul. Love is what heals the personality. There is nothing that cannot be healed by love. There is nothing but love. When love is not madness, it is not love. If you ever reach total enlightenment while drinking beer, I bet it makes beer shoot out your nose. Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. I'm living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart. Solitude, if rightly used, becomes not only a privilege but a necessity. Only a superficial soul fears to fraternize with itself. A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship. Reality is an illusion that occurs due to lack of alcohol. Facts are the enemy of truth.
