“I took a little walk outside for a while. I was surprised that I wasn’t feeling what I thought people were supposed to feel under the circumstances. May be I was fooling myself. I wasn’t delighted, but I didn’t feel terribly upset, perhaps because we had known for a long time that it was going to happen.It’s hard to explain. If a Martian(who, we’ll imagine never dies except by accident) came to Earth and saw this peculiar race of creatures-these humans who live about seventy or eighty years, knowing that death is going to come–it would look to hi like a terrible problem of psychology to live under those circumstances, knowing that life is only temporary Well, we humans somehow figure out how to live despite this problem: we laugh, we joke, we live.The only difference for me and Arlene was, instead of fifty years, it was five years. It was only a quantitative difference–the psychological problem was just the same. The only way it would have become any different is if we had said to ourselves, “But those other people have it better, because they might live fifty years.” But that’s crazy. Why make yourself miserable saying things like, “Why do we have such bad luck? What has God done to us? What have we done to deserve this?”–all of which, if you understand reality and take it completely into your heart, are irrelevant and unsolvable. They are just things that nobody can know. Your situation is just an accident of life..We had a hell of good time together…”— Richard Feynman
“But I’ve bought a big bat.I’m all ready, you see.Now my troubles are goingTo have trouble with me!”— Dr. Seuss
“If I had created myself, I would be taller, blond, and more well endowed, financially. I would have cast out spiders and bad-hair days. Therefore, and hence, I believe strongly in a Creator who not only gave me the gift, but the free will to create my own journey through life.”— Audrey Conn
“Certainly there are things in life that money can’t buy, but it’s very funny – Did you ever try buying them without money.”— Ogden Nash
“This town, this country, this world, is full to the brim with clever people, and just look at it. Never been in such awful shape. Clever people don’t give a damn about anybody but themselves. Too busy being clever. The world doesn’t need anymore clever people. It needs people with wisdom.”— Jon Steele
“It must be around forty, when you’re “over the hill.” I don’t even know what that means and why it’s a bad thing. When I go hiking and I get over the hill, that means I’m past the hard part and there’s a snack in my future. That’s a good thing as far as I’m concerned.”— Ellen DeGeneres
“We don’t have to be defined by the things we did or didn’t do in our past. Some people allow themselves to be controlled by regret. Maybe it’s a regret, maybe it’s not. It’s merely something that happened. Get over it.”— Pittacus Lore
“…once you’ve crawled into what’s commonly thought of as the sordid underbelly of life, you realize it’s all just different versions of normal.”— Josh Kilmer-Purcell
“Faith often comes from patience and remembering that sometimes patience is taking a deep breath and listening to that little voice on the inside saying, ‘Don’t worry, everything is going to be all right.”— Charles F. Glassman
“Don’t underestimate the power of humor and the ability to laugh at yourself to deliver peace and serenity.”— Charles F. Glassman
