Funny Quotes:"Remember, even if you win the rat race, you're still just a rat." - Lily Tomlin

"Mother lab rats, just like working mothers, demonstrably excel at time-management and efficiency, racing around mazes to find rewards and get back to the pups in record time." - New York Times, May 8, 2005

"For tapeworm, starve it.  Then hold some warm milk up to your nose and sniff deeply.  The tapeworm will stick his head out of your nose to get the milk.  Hold the milk farther and farther away from him, thus drawing him out." - The FoxFire Book.

"If the president is the head of the American body politic, Congress is its gastrointestinal tract.  Its vast and convoluted inner workings may be mysterious and unpleasant, but in the end they excrete a great deal of material whose successful passage is crucial to our nation's survival.  This is the Congress's duty." - America (The Book).

Cool Quote:
"So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.   Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people...Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living.  If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself...Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision."  -Chief Tecumseh
