1. Where there's a will, I want to be in it.

2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list.

3. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

4. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

5. We never really grow up; we only learn how to act in public.

6. War does not determine who is right--only who is left.

7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

8. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.

9. I didn't say it was your fault; I said I was blaming you.

10. In filling out an application, where it says, 'In case of emergency, Notify:' I put 'DOCTOR.'

11. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a
bald head and a beer gut and still think they are sexy.

12. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to
skydive twice.

13. I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.

14. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

15. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a
garage makes you a car.

16. You're never too old to learn something stupid.

17. I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me
to find one now.

Words of wisdom according to Jim Croce:

You don't tug on Superman's cape.
You don't spit into the wind.
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger.
And you don't mess around with Jim.

Or...Jimmy!

Ha! Had that cd. Played it for a friend. He liked it so much I gave it to him. Unfortunately, I never replaced it. Cool and intense. Very techno, iirc.

You can't miss what you ain't got or lose what you never had.

That's a relief. I thought I was losing my mind.

The wisest thing I've ever heard in a lyric is from Reb Zimmerman himself:

"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."

Also: "When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose."



Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
