Everything comes to she who waits.
But that begs the obvious question: Do I really want to have Everything?
Don’t underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering.
Quotation from A.A. Milne, Pooh’s Little Instruction Book
I hate when something is advertised as “FREE” but you have to buy something to get it, as in: Buy 4 and get the 5th one free. It’s not free, it’s a conditional discount.
“But you said buy two and get the third one free.”
“No, I clearly stated buy three and get two, and the sign says No Refunds or Returns on Sale Merchandise.”
“But that doesn’t make sense.”
“Dear, I couldn’t state it any clearer.”
The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.
Quotation from Gloria Steinem
Wasted, a song by Angus & Julia Stone (YouTube.com) I’m wasted. I’m so wasted on you.
Now that nobody has any money left, everything is on sale. It isn’t fair. What idiot scheduled Christmas before everything goes on markdown? Officials should declare the first Sunday every January as “Boomerang Christmas” (for presents and family gift giving), leaving December 25th for more spiritual celebrations.
If we can afford tremendous sums of money to win the war, we can afford to invest whatever amount it takes to win the peace.
Quotation from Henry Wallace, US Vice President from 1941 to 1945
