MUSINGS II

The mystery of attraction is best left a mystery.

No one heard the first Big Bang, at least no one we know of. Everyone will hear the next one.

The path you are on has no road signs; be certain you have your bearings.

The future beckons to us all, but awaits only the curious.

Indifference is misnamed, it makes a big difference.

Beauty is not skin deep, it is soul deep.

Today's effect becomes tomorrow's cause.

Dance has been called the poetry of the foot, but not everyone is a poet.

Why are so many left wanting after they get what they want?

Truth is not stranger than fiction, it is shorter than fiction.

Your state of mind is a dictatorship and not a democracy where majority rules.

Truth is the best diplomacy, it leaves more time for golf.

Pride does not go before a fall, it is what helps you up after a fall.

When man knows he knows not everything, and never will, he knows the most important thing he needs to know.

If most people were twice as smart as they are, they still wouldn't be as smart as they think they are, nor half as smart as yhey want you to think they are.

A wise man knows that knowledge and doubt are best of friends: one seems incomplete without the otheralmost always knows where the other is to be found.

Our self esteem rests on our not knowing then what we know now.

A tree is a perfect model for man: it has its roots planted sollidly on the ground while reaching for the skies.
