An excuse is worse than a lie, for an excuse is a lie, guarded.
Each generation produces its squad of ''moderns'' with peashooters to attack Gibraltar.
A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.
When new turns of behavior cease to appear in the life of the individual, its behavior ceases to be intelligent.
Only sick music makes money today.
To read too many books is harmful.
There is no fatigue so wearisome as that which comes from lack of work.
Stop the habit of wishful thinking and start the habit of thoughtful wishes. It's sad that, in our blindness we gather thorns for flowers: Ah tell me not that memory sheds gladness over the past what is recalled by faded flowers save that they did not last?
It is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all.Accuracy is to a newspaper what virtue is to a lady, but a newspaper can always print a retraction.
My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it.
The pleasure of reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books.To the timid and hesitating everything is impossible because it seems so.

Today is the tenth anniversary of Yahoo! Can you remember a time before Yahoo? I think I can, but it's very faint.
Alicia and I have been watching lots of tv this season. CSI finally got us hooked, and we haven't missed an episode of 24 this season either. We've also enjoyed the supernatural dramas Medium and Point Pleasant. Medium will definitely be back next year, but it doesn't look good for Point Pleasant. That's a shame, I'm really enjoying it.
Alicia didn't like our trip to Woods Charter. She is extremely wary of sending Emma to the same facility as high school aged kids. With her concerns in mind, we have opted to forgo submitting an application, and to take a closer look at other options.
One of my friends asked why I hadn't challenged the school about Emma's suspension from the bus. I explained that I didn't want to be the parent that ended up on the 6pm news for an altercation with his child's school administration.
Did you know Emma rides the bus for an hour each afternoon? In the morning, Alicia takes her to school and drops me off at work, which is about five minutes away. The morning trip takes fifteen minutes if traffic is kind. There is another public elementary school five minutes drive from our house, but Emma can't attend that one due to the zoning. Even though ours is the most distant home in the district, Emma must attend PES because we're on the Northbound side of Highway 501. I find that odd, though, since Pittsboro is to the South.
Alicia and I caught the Peter Jennings UFO special several days ago. It was interesting, especially the part where they spoke to the physics professor at CUNY about wormholes and interstellar travel.
I have the best friends in the whle world, ever.
Malley's chocolate covered pretzels are good.
So are Werther's caramels. Mmmmmmmmmm.
I'm running out of things to say.
I guess I'll stop.
