"The value of a good cigar is best understood when it is the last one you posesss and there is no chance of getting another" - Count Otto Von Bismark

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our own frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. -- H.P. Lovecraft (The Call Of Cthulhu)

_Happiness_ I asked the professors who teach the meaning of life to tell me what is happiness. And I went to famous executives who boss the work of thousands of men. They all shook their heads and gave me a smile as though I was trying to fool with them And then one Sunday afternoon I wandered out along the Desplaines river And I saw a crowd of Hungarians under the trees with their women and children and a keg of beer and an accordian. -- Carl Sandburg

the mississippi river empties into the gulf and the gulf enters the sea and so forth, none of them emptying anything, all of them carrying yesterday forever on their white tipped backs, all of them dragging forward tomorrow . it is the great circulation of the earth's body, like the blood of the gods, this river in which the past is always flowing. every water is the same water coming round. everyday someone is standing on the edge of this river, staring into time, whispering mistakenly: only here. only now. By Lucille Clifton

For it stirs the blood in an old man's heart, And makes his pulses fly, To catch the thrill of a happy voice And the light of a pleasant eye. Saturday Afternoon. 3 It is the month of June, The month of leaves and roses, When pleasant sights salute the eyes, And pleasant scents the noses. The Month of June.
What is yours is mine, and all mine is yours.
Not by years but by disposition is wisdom acquired.
There are occasions when it is undoubtedly better to incur loss than to make gain.
Consider the little mouse, how sagacious an animal it is which never entrusts its life to one hole only.
By Plautus 185 B.C.

As Stephen Sly and old John Naps of Greece, And Peter Turph and Henry Pimpernell, And twenty more such names and men as these Which never were, nor no man ever saw.
Let the world slide, 2 let the world go; A fig for care, and a fig for woe! If I can't pay, why I can owe, And death makes equal the high and low.
Haste maketh waste. Proverbes.
He that will not when he may, When he would he shall have nay.
When the iron is hot, strike.
Wedding is destiny, And hanging likewise.

To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace. 1 Speech to both Houses of Congress, Jan. 8, 1790.
'T is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world. His Farewell Address.

The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epocha in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward for evermore. John Adams

Shiny New Motorcycle

An engineering student was walking across campus when another engineer rides up on a shiny new motorcycle. "Where did you get such a rockin' bike?" asked the first. The second engineer replied "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said 'Take what you want.'" The second engineer nodded approvingly "Good choice, the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."
