Nothing gives life more zest that running for your life.

Almost everything about a human creature is ridiculous, except its ability to suffer bravely and die gallantly for whatever it loves and believes in. The validity of that belief, the appropriateness of that love, is irrelevant; it is the bravery and the gallantry that count.

I've found out why people laugh. They laugh because it hurts so much . . . because it's the only thing that'll make it stop hurting.

Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy.

If a thing's worth doing, it's worth overdoing. (Lazarus Long)

The first principle of freedom is the right to go to hell in your own handbasket.

Always cut the cards...and smile when you lose.
