Don't take life so serious--it ain't nohows permanent.

We are confronted with insurmountable opportunities.

We have met the enemy and he is us.

It is not good enough for things to be planned - they still have to be done; for the intention to become a reality, energy has to be launched into operation.

Now is the time for all good men to come to.

Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blast on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us.

In like a dimwit, out like a light.

Women aren't as mere as they used to be.

There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tiny blasts of tiny trumpets, we have met the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us.

Every burden is a blessing.

Food for thought is no substitute for the real thing.
