Garrison Keillor quotes about
It is more worthy in the eyes of God . . . if a writer makes three pages sharp and funny about the lives of geese than to make three hundred fat and flabby about God or the American people.
Dogs don't lie and why should I? Strangers come they growl and bark, they know their loved ones in the dark, Now let me, by night or day, Be just as full of truth as they.
Why is divorce so expensive? Because it's worth it!
March is the month God created to show people who don't drink what a hangover is like.
Humor, a good sense of it, is to Americans what manhood is to Spaniards, and we will go to great lengths to prove it. Experiments with laboratory rats have shown that, if one psychologist in the room laughs at something a rat does, all of the other psychologists will laugh equally. Nobody wants to be left holding the joke.
We have nearly complete misunderstanding between people of different faiths in Lake Wobegon, and that's probably one reason why we get along so very well. It's when you are trying to convince another person to think the same way that you do that there is friction and trouble between people. But when you feel that the other person is dumber than dirt, too dumb for words - why waste your breath - you get along pretty well.

Life is continuous. Life never stops. We come to the really great questions and before we can answer them, life has moved on to something else.
As for kissing on the first date, you should never date someone whom you would not wish to kiss immediately.
I don't want them to be told to remember me.
Boys, the first drink is a boon, the second is a gamble, the third is poor judgment, and then the rate of descent gets steep
Easter is so disappointing. You suffer all the way through lent, and what do you get for it? A ham.
Life is unjust and this is what makes it so beautiful. Every day is a gift. Be brave and take hold of it.
It is a sin to believe evil of others but it is seldom a mistake.
When in doubt, look intelligent.
