Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

If you count all your assets, you always show a profit.

So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.

A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in.

Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate, but through being the right mate.

It takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen.

The rarest thing in the world is a woman who is pleased with photographs of herself.

There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.

I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering.

For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous. Bricks to all greenhouses! Black thumb and cutworm to the potted plant!

We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.

Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.

May luck be our companion
May friends stand by our side
May history remind us all
Of Ireland's faith and pride.
May God bless us with happiness
May love and faith abide.

When I hear people talk about juggling, or the sacrifices they make for their children, I look at them like they're crazy, because "sacrifice" infers that there was something better to do than being with your children.

Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level.

The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month.

A friend knows the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Admit your errors before someone else exaggerates them.

If suffering brought wisdom, the dentist’s office would be full of luminous ideas. 

Nothing encourages creativity like the chance to fall flat on one's face.

A waffle is like a pancake with a syrup trap.

Any fool can write code that a computer can understand.  Good programmers write code that humans can understand.

The only valid censorship of ideas is the right of people not to listen.

Some people are so boring that they make you waste an entire day in five minutes.

The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot. The guy who invented the other three, he was a genius.

A hospital should also have a recovery room adjoining the cashier's office.

'Twas Easter-Sunday. The full-blossomed trees
Filled all the air with fragrance and with joy.

'Twas Easter-Sunday. The full-blossomed trees
Filled all the air with fragrance and with joy.
