MUSINGS I

If you think we need a Constitutional Amendment to permit prayers in school, you haven't stood in school hallways lately during final exams.

Have you noticed that those who practice diplomacy have never received a diploma to practice it?

Of all living things, only man is aware...occasionally.

Aristotle discovered that A is A, things are what they are...and the world has been trying to disprove it ever since.

Most political speeches are good examples of free speech...and you know what you get for free.

Anti-trust laws are aptly named...those who support them do not trust freedom.

The world is like an extravagant buffet party...with no waiters.

Isn't it ironic that there could be no government handouts if the government kept its hands out of our pockets.

To believe things on faith is to believe in mind over matter.

What you do to others may be a crime...what you do to yourself never is.

Teach a child how to think and you've opened his world...teach a child what to think and you've closed it.

If your education stops when you finish school, you didn't learn much.

Man's will is free for him to use...but can cost him his life if he doesn't.

Your senses tell you what is...your emotions tell you how you feel about what is ... your mind coordinates the two and tells you what you can do about what is.

The reason many people believe in a sixth sense is because they can't make sense out of what they learn from the first five.
