“To distinguish flowers from weeds, simply pull up everything. What grows back is weeds.”
A small boy was looking at the red ripe tomatoes growing in the farmer's garden. "I'll give you my two pennies for that tomato," said the boy pointing to a beautiful, large, ripe fruit hanging on the vine.
"No," said the farmer, "I get a dime for a tomato like that one."
The small boy pointed to a smaller green one, "Will you take two pennies for that one?"
"Yes," replied the farmer, "I'll give you that one for two cents."
"OK," said the lad, sealing the deal by putting the coins in the farmer's hand, "I'll pick it up in about a week."
What can be more foolish than to think that all this rare fabric of heaven and earth could come by chance, when all the skill of science is not able to make an oyster. --Jeremy Taylor
A man with three doctorates has no more standing before God than a man who has never stepped foot inside a school.
The good news is that production of travel vehicles is up … bicycles, unicycles, rollerblades, kayaks, sleds, shoes …
A little girl asked her mother for a dollar to give to an old lady in the park. Her mother was touched by the child's kindness, and gave her the required sum.
"There you are, my dear," said the mother. "But, tell me, isn't the lady able to work any more?"
"Oh yes," came the reply. "She sells candy."
I think my job could be in jeopardy.
How so?
When I walk by the boss’s office, I can hear him chanting “eeny meeny miny moe.”
They’re getting ridiculous at my job. “No personal calls.” “No surfin’ the web.” “Put your shoes back on.” I mean, how can anyone work in an environment like that?
There may be a wrong way to do the right thing, but never a right way to do a wrong thing.

Removing all risks from your life renders faith unnecessary. Faith requires risks!
Police were called to a day care where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.
Once when the power went off at the elementary school, the cook couldn't serve a hot meal in the cafeteria. She had to feed the children something, so at the last minute, she whipped up great stacks of peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches. As one little boy filled his plate, he said, "It's about time. At last . . . a home cooked meal!"

At a recent computer software engineering course, the participants were given an awkward question to answer: "If you had just boarded an airliner and discovered that your team of programmers had been responsible for the flight control software, how many of you would disembark immediately?" Among the ensuing forest of raised hands only one man sat motionless. When asked what he would do, he replied that he would be quite content to stay aboard. With his team's software, he said, the plane was unlikely to even taxi as far as the runway, let alone take off.

As a child my mother would always tell me not to sit so close to the TV, that it was bad for my eyes. Now, as an adult I spend 8+ hours a day within 2 feet of a computer screen.
