...my daughter's grade 2 classroom had a poster on the walls on how to be a friend. It was such a revelation for me I wrote it down:
* Smile at people
* Say nice things to your friends
* Ask them to join in games
* Listen to your friends when they talk to you
* Think about how your friend feels
* Play and have fun with your friends
"Do what you wanna--do what you will;
Just don't mess up your neighbor's thrill--
and when you pay the bill, kindly leave a little tip
to help the next poor sucker on his one-way trip."
-- Frank Zappa, "The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing"
We're now so perfectly in sync we're wearing each others underwear!
-- House M.D.
A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of coloured ribbon.
-- Napoleon
You can not fight human nature. You can only educate people to recognize the perils of succumbing to your own shallow, prejudiced views and understand that we are all human.
You gave me the key to your heart, my love;
Then why do you make me knock?
"Oh, that was yesterday, saints above;
Last night I changed the lock!"
-- John Boyle O'Reilly (1844-1890
Pray, and all your sins are hooked upon the sky.
Pray, and the heathen lie will disappear.
Prayers, they hide the saddest views,
Believing the strangest things, Loving the alien.
-- David Bowie
