Sometimes, if you try to purify the pond, the lilies die.

* If the cops arrest a mute, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent?
* If a book about failures doesn't sell, is it a success?
* Hermits have no peer group pressure.
* Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited there?
* Why in a country of free speech, why are there 'phone bills?
* Can you be a closet claustrophobic?

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, 'Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.

The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.

The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful. But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.

The Lord said, 'You have seen Hell.
They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one.

There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking.

The holy man said, 'I don't understand.'

'It is simple,' said the Lord. 'It requires but one skill. You see they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves.'

Why are we encouraged to insure our houses and contents 'new for old replacement' but our cars for less than a quarter of their 'new' price?

* Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
* 'How old are you?' I'm four and a half!' you're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key.
* You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.
* 'How old are you?' I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life ... You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony ... YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!
* But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed.
* You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50.
* And your dreams are gone.
* But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would.
* So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.
* You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday.
* You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90's, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST 92.'
* Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again.' I'm 100 and a half!'
* May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!
* AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
* Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
