What is a committee?

A group of the unwilling, picked from the unfit, to do the unnecessary.  

Richard Harkness, The New York Times, 1960

Slogan of 105.9, the classic rock radio station in Chicago:
"Of all the radio stations in Chicago ... we're one of them."

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again, and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.  

Mark Twain

If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life,
she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base.

Dave Barry

Some mornings,
it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps.

Was reading an article about Cher and it said this which I did not know

======

Cher’s Role Model
As a child, she had a long string of movie stars as heroes, which would ultimately pave the way for her own success in Hollywood. The most significant influence on her was from the legendary Audrey Hepburn. After watching her in the iconic movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The inspiration for Cher’s performances would become more and more apparent, as she wore similar outfits as the actress and even behaved like Hepburn.

Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to
recognize a mistake when you make it again.

When I told the people of Northern Ireland that I was an atheist,
a woman in the audience stood up and said,
"Yes, but is it the God of the Catholics or the God of the Protestants in whom you don't believe?"

Quentin Crisp

I think that all right-thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary,
decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I'm certainly not!
But I'm sick and tired of being told that I am!  
Monty Python

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible
will make violent revolution inevitable.

Don't worry about temptation--as you grow older, it starts avoiding you.  
Old Farmer's Almanac

"Time's fun when you're having flies."  
Kermit the Frog

Lieutenant: "If we do happen to step on a mine, Sir, what do we do?"

Commander: "Normal procedure, Lieutenant, is to jump 200 feet in the air and scatter oneself over a wide area."

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

 For a wound to heal, you have to clean it out. Again, and again, and again. And this cleaning process stings. The cleaning of a wound hurts. Yes. Healing takes so much work. So much persistence. And so much patience. But every process has an end and an appointed term. Your healing will come… And like all created things, your worldly pain will die.
