If you don't love Jesus-go to hell!
All my adult life I've been in the practice of giving advice to people who are happier than I am.
May the God of your choice bless you.
On the whole I prefer cats to women because cats seldom if ever use the word 'relationship'.
If you elect me the first Jewish justice of the peace, I'll reduce the speed limits to 54.95!
Well, I just said that Jesus and I were both Jewish and that neither of us ever had a job, we never had a home, we never married and we traveled around the countryside irritating people.
Young people are the key to this election.
You don't accomplish much by swimming with the mainstream. Hell, a dead fish can do that.

Students don't know who Mark Twain was because he wasn't on the test.
I'm not afraid to live. I'm not afraid to fail. I'm not afraid to succeed. I'm not afraid to fall in love. I'm not afraid to be alone. I'm just afraid I might have to stop talking about myself for five minutes.

A happy childhood... is the worst possible preparation for life.
