Favorite saying

• ""The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance." -Socrates "Humor is mankind's greatest blessing." -Mark Twain "Comedy is the ability to make people laugh, without making them puke." -Steve Martin "It is possible to read the history of this country as one long struggle to extend the liberties established in our Constitution to everyone in America." - Molly Ivins "Any fool can make history, but it takes a genius to write it." - Oscar Wilde "Anyone with eyes can see the way to live: by watching life, observing nature and cooperating with it, making common cause with the process of existence. By living life for itself, deriving pleasure from the gift of pure being. "Life is its own answer. Accept it and enjoy it day by day. Live as well as possible; expect no more. Destroy nothing; humble nothing; look for fault in nothing. Leave unsullied and untouched all that is beautiful. Hold that which lives in all reverence; for life is given by the sovereign of our universe, given to be savored, to be luxuriated in, and to be respected.” - Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles"
