Every man thinks God is on his side.  The rich and powerful know that he is.
        -- Jean Anouilh, "The Lark"

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.  It knows it must run faster
than the fastest lion or it will be killed.  Every morning a lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle: when the sun comes
up, you'd better be running.

"Every morning, I get up and look through the 'Forbes' list of the
richest people in America.  If I'm not there, I go to work"
        -- Robert Orben

Every successful person has had failures but repeated failure is no
guarantee of eventual success.

Every young man should have a hobby: learning how to handle money is
the best one.

Everybody but Sam had signed up for a new company pension plan that
called for a small employee contribution.  The company was paying all
the rest.  Unfortunately, 100% employee participation was needed;
otherwise the plan was off.  Sam's boss and his fellow workers pleaded
and cajoled, but to no avail.  Sam said the plan would never pay off.
Finally the company president called Sam into his office.
    "Sam," he said, "here's a copy of the new pension plan and here's
a pen.  I want you to sign the papers.  I'm sorry, but if you don't sign,
you're fired.  As of right now."
    Sam signed the papers immediately.
    "Now," said the president, "would you mind telling me why you
couldn't have signed earlier?"
    "Well, sir," replied Sam, "nobody explained it to me quite so
clearly before."

Everybody likes a kidder, but nobody lends him money.

Everyone who comes in here wants three things:
    (1) They want it quick.
    (2) They want it good.
    (3) They want it cheap.
I tell 'em to pick two and call me back.

Exceptions prove the rule, and wreck the budget.

customer working for a well-known military-affiliated research lab:

Support:  "You're not our only customer, you know."
Customer: "But we're one of the few with tactical nuclear weapons."
