Quotes

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
Young cat, if you keep your eyes open enough, oh, the stuff you would learn! The most wonderful stuff!
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.

Step with care and great tact
And remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft
And never mix up your right foot with your left.

Will you succeed? Yes you will indeed!
(98 and 3-4 percent guaranteed.)
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go....
Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So. . . get on your way.

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

Happiness
Always do what you want, and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Miscellaneous
Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.
Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
To the world you may be one person but to one person you may be the world.
