Indecision is the key to flexibility. Happiness is merely the remission of pain. There is absolutely no substitute for a genuine lack of preparation The facts, although interesting, are irrelevant. The careful application of terror is also a form of communication. Someone who thinks logically is a nice contrast to the real world. Things are more like they are today than they ever were before. Anything worth fighting for is worth fighting dirty for. Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler. Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate. I have seen the truth and it makes no sense. suicide is the most sincere form of self-criticism. If you think there is good in everybody, you haven't met everybody If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious There is always one more imbecile than you counted on. This is as bad as it can get, but don't count on it. Youth and skill are no match for experience and treachery. No amount of advance planning will ever replace dumb luck. Anything you do can get you fired; this includes doing nothing. Money can't buy happiness; it can, however, rent it.
