     Just a few suggestions and ideas

Move away from people, friends, relatives and the like who through no fault of their own suck the life and positivity out of you.

Don't tell the truth if it will be used to murder somebody else

Don't waste time trying to figure out what it is, concentrate on why it is.

Health depends mostly upon mental attititude

Those who can do, do, those who can't criticize.

The key to life is cultivating a sound mind in a sound body.

Negative will kill you and those around you as well

Bankers and corporations get in a room and the first thing they do is to conspire as to how better to steal our money.

"Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters." Bob Dylan

In love there is always the one which offers the kiss and the one who offers the cheek

Never underestimate our ability to self-delude

Culture is the process of learning not to see the good things about other cultures

Too many people are most comfortable when depressed

Too many people are most comfortable when humilating others or dreaming of humiliating others

Too many people are only comfortable when surrounded by people who think exactly like they do

Too many people think that they are right about everything and everyone else is wrong about everything

Fads are the evidence that people don't believe in anythng anymore except winning.

Money dominates so much in America today that there are no reports of a single individual tearing up a dollar bill

If there is a God, given our track recond, I'll bet he is thinking "the fire next time"

The central problem in life is that we need our glasses to find our glasses

You don't know if you love someone unless and until they tell you they feel loved

For many, hell is the feeling that even small things cannot be changed

If you feel like a failure, stop that. Stop that right now and sit up straight

Truth, is many times, the Lie somebody powerful enforces upon others

The leaders of the world are total failures

Those without a clue  develop very early the habit of sounding very, very sure of themselves

TV is bad for you.

Life in this century is realizing that the crazies have taken over all of the major institutions

Never disagree with someone who is incapable of changing their viewpoint

The first thing you need to do in life is to be sure of what is the last thing you want to do in life

Boredom is what happens with the systematic suppression of the creative and the interesting

A bad family is ,sometimes, the worst thing that can happen to you

Don't remain emotionally loyal to those who are bad for you even if it is not their fault

Dreaming while awake is the salvation of humanity

Happiness is the ability to remain happy even while in prison camp.

Never, never, believe the myth that there are no solutions

Changing one's life begins when one first asks "Why am I doing this to myself? and then says "why not do something else instead?

The obvious is always the last thing discovered

Society and culture is the process of teaching people to accept and allow others to get a larger share of the pie than they deserve

War is the process of making others rich

There is no such thing as an individual

You can't really take responsibility for making someone else feel better
 
If I had to choose between True Love and True Devotion I would choose the latter

Love is the ability to envision a future for more than one

 When ever some one thinks they have the absolute truth about anything, the first thing they do is to get a big stick to hit people with to make it come true .

 Truth 5c: Community; a whole dollar
