miracle."

Life may not be the party we hoped for … but while we are here we might as well dance!
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too
little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too
tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have
multiplied our possessions but reduced our values. We talk too much,
love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living
but not a life. We've added years to life, not life to years.
We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
By the time we realize our parents were right, we have children who think we're wrong.

Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then
you don't have a leg to stand on.
Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
The early worm gets eaten by the bird, so sleep late.
When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
Birthdays are good for you; the more you have, the longer you live.
You may be only one person in the world,
but you may also be the world to one person.
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened.
We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some
are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors but they all
have to learn to live in the same box.
A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open.
Accept that some days you're the pigeon,
and some days you're the statue.
When it's time to die, let us not discover that we have never lived.

Too much agreement kills a chat.
None are so empty as those who are full of themselves.
When your dad is mad and asks you, "Do I look stupid?"
don't answer him.
Love may not make the world go round, but I
must admit that it makes the ride worthwhile.
Love is much nicer to be in than an automobile accident,
a tight girdle, a higher tax bracket, or a holding pattern
over Philadelphia.
One advantage of marriage, it seems to me, is that when
you fall out of love with him, or he falls out of love with you,
it keeps you together until maybe you fall in again.
Falling in love … I think you're supposed to get shot with an arrow or
something, but the rest of it isn't supposed to be so painful.
-Manuel (age 8 )

back then, you could have sat in the bathtub for 25
years without being bothered by the phone.
It is wise to remember that you are one of those who can be fooled some of the time.
Do not punish me by granting that which I wish or ask.
Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
Always do stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
