When it’s too convenient, we can all travel up our own tight little path to a place of obscenity within us; while, possibly only if we so wish through exercising free choice, keeping tight hold of a common sense of decency helps prevent it.

One can do immoral or illegal things every day, just so long as one doesn’t break one’s own highly refined ethical standards while doing so.

One can laugh at oneself when something there is revealed to be particularly funny, however, it may take on a more serious demeanour later, if one survives the episode.

If you’re not the same, you’re different; and if you’re different, you can be mocked for it.

Thoughts that drift away you’ll never miss much, until you try to recall them with alacrity.

If you’re wise enough to avoid saying something stupid today, then you can also be clever enough not to avoid saying it in passing tomorrow.

It’s a pity that most people don’t like to hear the truth spoken about themselves, particularly when it’s someone else’s version of it.

People do like to be given the credit for existing, but from whom, that’s the question.

Those people who can manage to do things coolly, calmly, and collectedly, can also manage to do it all over you.

Beware of what you can think of: it may not be all there.
