I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them. If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines. You can widen your life by yourself, but to deepen it you need a friend. Each encounter that becomes a friendship turns into a lifeline. One can never have too many, only too many to properly take care of. What the world really needs is more love and less paper work. Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life. I discovered I always have choices and sometimes it's only a choice of attitude. When love is not madness, it is not love. Reality is an illusion that occurs due to lack of alcohol. Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little order, will lose both and deserve neither. What the world really needs is more love and less paper work. Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life. Take away love and our earth is a tomb. Compassion alone stands apart from the continuous traffic between good and evil proceeding within us. Memory is a child walking along a seashore. You never can tell what small pebble it will pick up and store away among its treasured things. No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. Yesterday is a dream, tomorrow but a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore to this day. Love is the energy of the soul. Love is what heals the personality. There is nothing that cannot be healed by love. There is nothing but love. The great thing about television is that if something important happens anywhere in the world, day or night, you can always change the channel. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. 24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up. It's not that chocolates are a substitute for love. Love is a substitute for chocolate. Chocolate is, let's face it, far more reliable than a man. Hope is like a road in the country: there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence. Love is the beauty of the soul. Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there? Very little is needed to make a happy life. It is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life. Very little is needed to make a happy life. It is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. Hatch a dream and then believe it. Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza. No matter what looms ahead, if you can eat today, enjoy today, mix good cheer with friends today enjoy it and bless God for it. The great thing about television is that if something important happens anywhere in the world, day or night, you can always change the channel. Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. Books are the shoes with which we tread the footsteps of great minds. The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. Time is never wasted when you're wasted all the time. Solitude, if rightly used, becomes not only a privilege but a necessity. Only a superficial soul fears to fraternize with itself. When love is not madness, it is not love. Compassion is the antitoxin of the soul: where there is compassion even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless. What the world really needs is more love and less paper work. Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little order, will lose both and deserve neither. True friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable. A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years. The man who says I told you so is making an excuse for not expressing his position clearly in the first place. All right, Brain, I don't like you and you don't like me -- so let's just do this and I'll get back to killing you with beer. Life is a waste of time, time is a waste of life, so get wasted all of the time and have the time of your life. The problem with some people is that when they aren't drunk, they're sober. Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. Memory is a child walking along a seashore. You never can tell what small pebble it will pick up and store away among its treasured things. The quality of the moment is more important than the number of our days. I would like to believe when I die that I have given myself away like a tree that sows seed every spring and never counts the loss, because it is not loss, it is adding to future life. It is the tree's way of being. Strongly rooted perhaps, but spilling out its treasure on the wind. The great thing about a computer notebook is that no matter how much you stuff into it, it doesn't get bigger or heavier. Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law. A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years. The great thing about television is that if something important happens anywhere in the world, day or night, you can always change the channel. Who so loves believes the impossible. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. Take away love and our earth is a tomb. Touch is the most fundamental sense. A baby experiences it, all over, before he is born and long after he learns to use sight, hearing, or taste, and no human ever ceases to need it. Keep your children short on pocket money - but long on hugs. Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love The Babylon project was our last, best hope for peace. .. It failed. .. But in the year of the Shadow war it became something greater: our last, best hope .. for victory. The year is 2260, the place: Babylon 5.An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools. All love shifts and changes. I don't know if you can be wholeheartedly in love all the time. A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her. Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world. 24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? Love takes up where knowledge leaves off. Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years. Compassion alone stands apart from the continuous traffic between good and evil proceeding within us. No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. All right, Brain, I don't like you and you don't like me -- so let's just do this and I'll get back to killing you with beer. It's not that chocolates are a substitute for love. Love is a substitute for chocolate. Chocolate is, let's face it, far more reliable than a man. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a ... brain operation. Love takes up where knowledge leaves off. Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer. Love takes up where knowledge leaves off. Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. When love is not madness, it is not love. A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years. Compassion alone stands apart from the continuous traffic between good and evil proceeding within us. What the world really needs is more love and less paper work. The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them. Hope is like a road in the country: there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you. Not because they are nice, but because you are. Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks. Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake. A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a shp, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law. Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake.
