Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered - either by themselves or by others.

Mark Twain

Tyra Banks

Pay no attention to what critics say. A statue has never been erected in honor of a critic.

Jean Sibelius


I don't know about everyone else, but I sure needed that.

A good rule of thumb is if you've made it to thirty-five and your job still requires you to wear a name tag, you've made a serious vocational error.

I've Got A Few More...

Here's some more toasts for you!

May we be alive at the same time next year!

Well I sincerely hope so...

When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let's all get drunk, and go to heaven!

Can't argue with that logic.

Here's to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold beer - and another one!

All these are things to wish for.

Here's to you and here's to me;
May we never disagree.
But if we do,
Then fuck you
And here's to me!

Use these well! They are just too much fun not too!

Francois de la Rochefoucauld
