Taken randomly from Grothe’s book (except for the last two, the first of which was sent along by Anita Dixon and the last one, which is one of my favorites, as you could guess!) . . . .

  • If you talk to God, you are praying;  If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia. Henry Wheatley
  • Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.  John F. Kennedy
  • Seinfield can be painfully amusing and amusingly painful.  Tom Shales
  • It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them.  Mark Twain
  • Don’t sweat the petty stuff or pet the sweaty stuff.  Anonymous? (A similar version is attributed to Jacquelyn Small in Grothe’s book.)
