    From page 55 of Texas Bix Benders book "Don't Squat With Yer Spurs On!

    "Remember, even a kick in the caboose is a step forward."

    Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
    M.K. Gandhi

    A few from the ladies of history:

    Inside every older person is a younger
    person -- wondering what the hell happened.
    -Cora Harvey Armstrong-

    A male gynecologist is like an auto
    mechanic who never owned a car.
    -Carrie Snow-

    Old age ain't no place for sissies.
    -Bette Davis-

    Every time I close the door on reality
    it comes in through the windows.
    -Jennifer Unlimited-

    Thirty-five is when you finally get your head
    together and your body starts falling apart.
    -Caryn Leschen-

    If you can't be a good example, then you'll
    just have to be a horrible warning.
    -Catherine-

    I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde
    jokes because I know I'm not
    dumb ... and I'm also not blonde.
    -Dolly Parton-

    If high heels were so wonderful, men
    would still be wearing them.
    -Sue Grafton-

    I'm not going to vacuum 'til Sears
    makes one you can ride on.
    -Roseanne Barr-

    Behind every successful man is a surprised woman.

    There is no more idealistic, righteous, and misinformed mudslinger than a university undergraduate.

    Great wealth is an obligation and responsibility. Money must work for the country.”
    EH Harriman

    "Only those who really experienced the war will want to preserve peace with all their might."
    - Hans Kahr, german who survived the russian front and post war slavery in russia

    "Here you are, an admired, successful, professional actor with a long lasting marriage, two apparently healthy, resilient children, more money than you could possibly need, a beautiful home in sunny Southern California — a fairy tale life," Gorton said. "Yet you stand me before a convicted felon. And for what? For the inexplicable desire to grasp even more."
    - Judge Gorton to Lauri Laughlin (Not unique to her. Applies to many people.)

    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 is a man on base.
    --Dave Barry

    Relationships are hard. It's like a full time job, and we should treat it like one. If your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to leave you, they should give you two weeks' notice. There should be severance pay, the day before they leave you, they should have to find you a temp.
    --Bob Ettinger--

    "A study in the Washington Post says that women have better verbal skills than men. I just want to say to the authors of that study: "Duh."
    --Conan O'Brien

    "Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant?? I'm halfway through my fish burger and I realize, Oh my God.... I could be eating a slow learner."
    --Lynda Montgomery

    "I think that's how Chicago got started. Bunch of people in New York said, 'Gee, I'm enjoying the crime and the poverty, but it just isn't cold enough. Let's go west.'"
    --Richard Jeni--

    "It's paradoxical that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting old doesn't appeal to anyone."
