It's never a good deal when only one party thinks it is.
Speaking of birthdays, our firstborn [recently turned 2]. As parents sometimes fondly do, we reminisced a bit about his early days on earth-the excitement, the wonder, the fears when we brought him home. His every squeak or squawk we were sure heralded some terrible crisis; I tested the warmth of formulas from dusk to dawn, it seemed. We were so germ-conscious my wife even sterilized the skin of the oranges before squeezing them. How firstborns ever survive their parents' attentions is beyond me. However, they do, and he did, and, in spite of our efforts, he turned out to be quite a good guy.
Meaningful truths are never newly discovered; they're just uncovered anew.
If you want understanding try giving some.
The hardest work of all - doing nothing.
It is never too late to learn.
. . . the most difficult thing asked by our young is not our earnings but our ears.
If you're looking for perfection, look in the mirror. If you find it there, expect it elsewhere.
Enlightening editorial writers is even more difficult than educating educators.
Old age is not for sissies.
The only unforgivable sin: Being unforgiving.
A hug's a happy thing while a shrug's so often destructive.
The best buy by way of management is brains-at any price.
If you don't know, it's not always necessary to admit it.
