PICK ONE
It's sure to be a favourite.
Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
Don't ever become a pessimist... a pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun, and neither can stop the march of events.
Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.
Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors... and miss.
Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy.
A generation which ignores history has no past and no future.
Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it.
Never attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.
I never learned from a man who agreed with me.
May you live as long as you wish and love as long as you live.
One man's "magic" is another man's engineering. "Supernatural" is a null word.
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.
There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him.
In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it.
A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity.
Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks.
Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.
They didn't want it good, they wanted it Wednesday.
To be matter of fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy -- and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful.
Never try to outstubborn a cat.
One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.
The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.
Yield to temptation. It may not pass your way again.
One man's theology is another man's belly laugh.
Sex without love is merely healthy exercise.
Anyone who considers protocol unimportant has never dealt with a cat.
Theology is never any help; it is searching in a dark cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there. Theologians can persuade themselves of anything.
You have attributed conditions to villainy that simply result from stupidity.
The greatest productive force is human selfishness.
Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream up a god superior to themselves. Most gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child.
Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. (Hurting yourself is not sinful -- just stupid.)
You live and learn. Or you don't live long.
Never insult anyone by accident.
The universe never did make sense; I suspect that it was built on government contract.
By cultivating the beautiful we scatter the seeds of heavenly flowers, as by doing good we cultivate those that belong to humanity.
No statement should be believed because it is made by an authority.
Nursing does not diminish the beauty of a woman's breasts; it enhances their charm by making them look lived in and happy.

"The perfect being, huh? There is no such thing as perfect in this world. That may sound cliché, but it’s the truth. The average person admires perfection and seeks to obtain it. But, what’s the point of achieving perfection? There is none. Nothing. Not a single thing. I loathe perfection! If something is perfect, then there is nothing left. There is no room for imagination. No place left for a person to gain additional knowledge or abilities. Do you know what that means? For scientists such as ourselves, perfection only brings despair. It is our job to create things more wonderful than anything before them, but never to obtain perfection. A scientist must be a person who finds ecstasy while suffering from that antimony. In short, the moment that foolishness left your mouth and reached my ears, you had already lost. Of course, that’s assuming you are a scientist."
