Sixteen Things to get You Through Almost Any Crisis

Just a little Monday morning chuckle:

1. Indecision is the key to flexibility.


2. You cannot tell which way the train went by looking at the track.


3. There is absolutely no substitute for a genuine lack of preparation.


4. Happiness is merely the remission of pain.


5. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.


6. The facts, although interesting, are irrelevant.


7. Someone who thinks logically is a nice contrast to the real world.


8. Things are more like they are today than they ever have been before.


9. Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.


10. Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate.


11. If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.


12. One-seventh of your life is spent on Monday.


13. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.


14. This is as bad as it can get, but don't bet on it.


15. Never wrestle a pig; you both get dirty and the pig likes it.


16. The trouble with life is, you're halfway through it before you realize it's a "do-it-yourself" thing.
