The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.

The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.

The sounds of the nouns are mostly unbound.
In town a noun might wear a gown,
or further down, might dress a clown.
A noun that's sound would never clown,
but unsound nouns jump up and down.
The sound of a noun could distrub the plowing,
and then, my dear, you'd be put in the pound.
But please don't let that get you down,
the renown of your gown is the talk of the town.
                -- A. Nonnie Mouse

Russian, get off my Ford Escort."
                -- Dennis Miller

The speed of anything depends on the flow of everything.

The spirit of Plato dies hard.  We have been unable to escape the
philosophical tradition that what we can see and measure in the world

written on restaurant checks within the confines of restaurants do not
follow the same mathematical laws as numbers written on any other pieces
of paper in any other parts of the Universe.  This single statement took
the scientific world by storm.  So many mathematical conferences got held
in such good restaurants that many of the finest minds of a generation
died of obesity and heart failure, and the science of mathematics was put
back by years.
                -- Douglas Adams
