Author of quotes: Robert Fulgham

Don't worry that kids never listen to you. Worry about the fact that they are always watching you.

We will continue to learn about the crooks and thieves about how the police lie and steal; as reap where I sowed not, doctors; how to take and give bribes policy. But this should not be discouraged: these stories get into the press, as they are exceptions to the rule. The facts: people who can be trusted much more than it seems.

The inhabitants of the Solomon Islands in the Western Pacific ocean, is a curious way of firewood. If the tree is so large that the ax not to cut down, the natives knocked him screaming. <...> According to legend, the cries of kill the spirit of the tree. The natives claim that the method works perfectly. <...> We are a modern, civilized, educated people - shout to the transport of the arbitrators, on account of, banks and - particularly on the mechanisms. Most of all gets them and my family. What good will that do - I don't know. Mechanisms and other items still does not work. Pinkie and not always help. As for the people, the natives of the Solomon Islands might be right about something. If you yell at a living creature, it is really possible to kill his spirit. They say the word does not butt, head beats. True, not in the forehead it hits, and in the heart...

I watched, like clothes spinning in the dryer, and thought that the world is round and about hygiene. Mankind has leaped forward. Previously, it was believed that the diseases God sends. But then I realized - blame human ignorance, and since then began to clean up after himself - in the literal sense of the word. People to this day will remove dirt from hands, clothes, body, food and home. But if scientists and inventors could find a way to remove the dirt from our thoughts! Just one capful of strong and resilient binder, which would remove dirt from our lives, soften the cruelty of it, defended our hidden part, the soul and heart, improved action, reducing the formation of wrinkles and the appearance of yellow, regained our natural color, made us soft, tender and good...

Besides giraffe I saw a wombat, a platypus with a duck nose, and orangutan. They are incredible! Orangutan - just like my uncle woody. Uncle is also being incredible. Place him in a zoo. So his wife says.

In San Diego there is the zoo and the reserve is considered to be one of the best in the world. I recently spent the whole day there - because I'm a big fan of zoos.<...> You, for instance, look ever to the giraffe? After all, it is an incredible creature! If there is a heaven and I will be able to get there (although I don't really believe neither in the first nor in the second), if you still succeed, among other things, be sure to ask about giraffes. Next to me at the aviary there was a little girl, and she asked my mother that what I was thinking: "And why is it needed?" Mom didn't know. Giraffe and he knows why you need it? Or is he still? And if he thinks at all about his place in the world? Though the language of the giraffe is black and very long - 27 inch: almost 70 inches! - vocal chords had not. A giraffe has nothing to say. He just continues his giraffe life.

In our days on the shores of various beaches can be found made by the tide sliver of common sense. And doubts and sober look at the surroundings is not tantamount to cynicism and a bleak perception of the world. I mention it only because for the eighties, in my opinion, there's a good slogan: "I May be wrong".

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. The only cure for grief is laughter. And I believe love is stronger than death.

Whether dandelions are a plant of rare and capricious, the people, wanting them to get turned inside out would: would pay as much as fourteen dollars and ninety-five cents per Bush plants, personally grown them in greenhouses would create clubs of fans of dandelions and so on. But these flowers are growing everywhere, didn't need us and even we can say, do what you want. That's why we call them weeds and destroy at the first opportunity.

We are all a little weird. And life's a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join in the joint weirdness and call it love - true love.

If you broke your neck if you have nothing to eat, if the house is on fire - you're really in trouble. All the rest is just trouble. Life is a series of troubles. Life is lumpy. The lumps in the porridge, a lump in my throat, a lump in the breast is very different lumps. Learn to distinguish between them.
