For the things in life which make me glad I'm not dead yet.
QOTD
Really listening
No one really listens to anyone else, and if you try it for a while you'll see why.
Get it over with
Start every day off with a smile and get it over with.
Outdoors
I hate the outdoors. To me the outdoors is where the car is.
Lost in translation

Patience
I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end.
– Margaret Thatcher
Progress
Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.
Bridges
The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.
– David Russell

What would we do about it?
Professor Bernard Quatermass: The will to survive is an odd phenomenon. Roney, if we found out our own world was doomed, say by climatic changes, what would we do about it?
Dr. Mathew Roney: Nothing, just go on squabbling like usual.
Professor Bernard Quatermass: Yes, but if we weren't men?
– Quatermass and the Pit (1967), Nigel Kneale
