It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to.
W. C. Fields

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron. -- Dwight Eisenhower, April 16, 1953

Quote:

I find it all too easy to become caught up in my own world, centered on my needs and desires and those of the people who are close to me. So I take time for meditative reflection and remember that we are all significant yet individual components of this great universe.

Not everybody is ready to be friends, but how can you tell? I think we should sell Friend Touchers. These are a special perfect yellow stick, and everybody knows what it means. If you smile when someone lightly touches your arm with it, you're ready!

As I mentioned before I keep a file of favorite quotes. These days it's a Note in Outlook. Over the years that I've been here I've included a few from dwellars. I think this is all of them:

You know, when "later" gets here I'm going to be real busy.
-- xoxoxoBruce - The Cellar

Trust is a one-time-only offer.
-- Wolf - The Cellar

I was never actually the Devil's Advocate, but I did do some consulting work for a minor demon.
-- Wolf - The Cellar

Anything which *can* be done with a power tool *should* be done with a power tool. It is a moral imperative.
-- Elspode - The Cellar

My wife found this as a book-on-tape (literally, cassette tape) at the thrift store and I'm listening to it on my god-awfully long commute.
