The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor. The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything.

If I keep hitting "Esc" why am I still here? A printer has three main parts: the case, the jammed paper tray, and a blinking red light.

He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the LORD. Proverbs 18.22 Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD. Proverbs 19.14

It's easy to mistake temptation for opportunity. Too many people know their rights without understanding their responsibilities.

Some *luck* lies in NOT getting what you thought you wanted, but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see it is what you would have wanted had you known.
Garrison Keillor
Father in heaven, I pray: Give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread...

Otherwise, I may have too much and say, 'Who is the LORD?'
Or I may steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.
Granny's version of Proverbs 30.8-9

A square is always a rectangle. A rectangle may or may not be a square. There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who don't.

As a ring of gold in a pig's nose, so is a lovely woman who lacks discretion. Proverbs 11.22 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. Proverbs 31.30

Always remember that you are unique... just like everyone else. In the 60's people took LSD to make the world seem weird. Now the world IS weird, & people take Prozac to make it seem normal.

To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising yourself. [Jesus said...] Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? Matthew 7.3

The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Abe Lincoln It is better to keep the wolf out of the fold than to trust to drawing his teeth and claws after he shall have entered.
Thomas Jefferson

The problem with eating Italian food is that 5 or 6 days later you're hungry again.
George Miller For 30 years mother served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.
Calvin Trillin

Cats are smarter than dogs. You can't get 8 cats to pull a sled through the snow. Jeff Valdez If a cat spoke, it would say things like, "Hey, I don't see the problem here."

What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner. Colette Most of us believe in trying to make other people happy only if they can be happy in ways which we approve. Robert S. Loyd

If we had some ham, we'd have ham and beans, if we had some beans. Better is a plate of boiled cabbage where love is, than roast prime rib with hatred. Granny's paraphrase of Proverbs 15.17

I think there is a world market for maybe five computers. Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943 There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977

Liberal theology - the profession of explaining to others what you personally do not understand. Secular humanism -- the art of correcting your faults by confessing your parent's shortcomings.

When I am right, I don't brag.
When I am wrong, I admit it.
When in doubt, I ask a question.
[and they wonder why I don't talk] Modesty is the art of encouraging people to find out for themselves how wonderful you are.

Diplomacy is the art of letting someone else have your way. David Frost

Folk-singer -- someone who sings through her nose by ear. Never take a reference from a clergyman. They always want to give someone a second chance.
Lady Selborne

Schizophrenia beats dining alone. Even paranoids have real enemies.

I feel that one lies to oneself more than to anyone else. Lord Byron It's easier when you tell the truth. That way, you don't have to remember what you said.

Your friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you. Elbert Hubbard, "The Notebook" A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for the time of trouble. Prov 17.17

Integrity is: Doing the right thing...even when no one is looking. The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. Prov 15.3

Concerning the cost of good computer security...
"If you think safety is expensive, try an accident!" HTML is great. On the web. Not on usenet. Not in my inbox.

Making back-up copies and computer printouts of things nobody wanted even one of in the first place is giving America a new sense of purpose.
Andy Rooney Why is it if something is transported by ship it's called cargo, but if it's transported by car it's called a shipment?

In Buffalo, suicide is redundant.
from "A Chorus Line" New York is an exciting town where something is happening all the time, most of it unsolved.
Johnny Carson

The problem with being a *good sport* is you have to lose to prove it. If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron. Lee Trevino

You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing. Tie two birds together; although they have four wings, they cannot fly.
