Another possible source of guidance for teenagers is television, but
television's message has always been that the need for truth, wisdom
and world peace pales by comparison with the need for a toothpaste that
offers whiter teeth *and* fresher breath.
                -- Dave Barry, "Kids Today: They Don't Know Dum Diddly
                   Do"

Anthony's Law of Force:
        Don't force it; get a larger hammer.

Anthony's Law of the Workshop:
        Any tool when dropped, will roll into the least accessible
        corner of the workshop.

Corollary:
        On the way to the corner, any dropped tool will first strike
        your toes.

Antonym, n.:

Any clod can have the facts, but having opinions is an art.
                -- Charles McCabe

Any dramatic series the producers want us to take seriously as a
representation of contemporary reality cannot be taken seriously as a
representation of anything -- except a show to be ignored by anyone
capable of sitting upright in a chair and chewing gum simultaneously.
                -- Richard Schickel

Any excuse will serve a tyrant.
                -- Aesop

Any father who thinks he's all important should remind himself that
this country honors fathers only one day a year while pickles get a
whole week.

Any fool can paint a picture, but it takes a wise person to be able to
sell it.

Any great truth can -- and eventually will -- be expressed as a cliche
-- a cliche is a sure and certain way to dilute an idea.  For instance,
my grandmother used to say, "The black cat is always the last one off
the fence."  I have no idea what she meant, but at one time, it was
undoubtedly true.
                -- Solomon Short
