Catherine Zeta-JonesEconomists often talk about the 80/20 Principle, which is the idea that in any situation roughly 80 percent of the โworkโ will be done by 20 percent of the participants. In most societies, 20 percent of criminals commit 80 percent of crimes. Twenty percent of motorists cause 80 percent of all accidents. Twenty percent of beer drinkers drink 80 percent of all beer. When it comes to epidemics, though, this disproportionality becomes even more extreme: a tiny percentage of people do the majority of the work.

Ilona AndrewsMake Earth Day Every Day.โ While we might not always live up to this ideal, I try to keep this quote from Denis Hayes, founder of the Earth Day Network and president of Seattleโs Bullitt Foundation, in mind when I need a little extra motivation to be a better environmentalist: โListen up, you couch potatoes: each recycled beer can saves enough electricity to run a television for three hours.

Willie NelsonWhy certainly I'd like to have that fellow who hits a home run every time at bat, who strikes out every opposing batter when he's pitching, who throws strikes to any base or the plate when he's playing outfield and who's always thinking about two innings ahead just what he'll do to baffle the other team. Any manager would want a guy like that playing for him. The only trouble is to get him to put down his cup of beer and come down out of the stands and do those things.
Danny MurtaughSo relational evangelism? Go for it, as long as it turns into real evangelism.

When the pure gospel is shared, people respond.
Matt ChandlerIt doesn't matter how many drugs I take, I'm not fulfilled. This isn't satisfying. There's a spiritual hunger going on. Everybody feels it. If you don't feel it now, you will. Trust me.

Life doesn't get much better than this.
Bill BrysonIsn't beer the holy libation of sincerity? The potion that dispels all hypocrisy, any charade of fine manners? The drink that does nothing worse than incite its fans to urinate in all innocence, to gain weight in all frankness?

I want to sit under a linden tree with nothing more important to worry about than the temperature of the beer, if there is anything more important.
Walter HustonThere isnโt any significant difference between the various brands of whiskey, or cigarettes or beer. They are all about the same.
