According to me ...


  1. I now feel awake and ready to do what I've already done today.
  2. If I look trim and slim in a mirror, it's the mirror's fault; if I look pudgy and overweight in a mirror, it's the mirror's fault. I never see me in the mirror.
  3. Good intentions get a bad rap.
  4. Are the pros outweighing the cons? Settle it and live it.
  5. I get up before my brain.
  6. There are so many chips on my shoulder it's a wonder I can rise up out of the bed in the mornings.
  7. It's the gift horse looking us in the mouth.
  8. We need to focus on the rest of the stupid.
  9. People watch stupid stuff all the time, and we're smarter than stupid.
  10. I'm thinking. I have to think before I can talk. Some people think and talk at the same time.
  11. Breeding fear is a tool used by the mean-spirited and selfish to accomplish an agenda.
  12. Life is not a presentation.
  13. The church is an unnatural setting - so is pre-school and middle school and high school - so is a grass lawn.
  14. For life to be a vineyard, experience and make choices that benefit the vineyard, not cause its neglect.
  15. I would love to loose the bounds of money.
  16. Things are not supposed to work in any particular way. They're supposed to work the way they work.
  17. There is a new standard that is even higher.
  18. Something of almost all of it is in almost all of us.
  19. There's not much of nothing anywhere in Istanbul.
  20. Our culture is set up for a lot of unnecessary strain.
  21. If you were responsible to set up a new world order, where would you start?
  22. You said, therefore I thought.
  23. Life should be bigger than that!
  24. Forget immortality. Let's talk about the budget.
  25. There are parts of me (all of us, actually) that it is not right to give indiscriminately to others. 
  26. Be yourself. But find yourself first.
  27. The concept of "assumption" ought not exist.
  28. I'm a funny one.
  29. Often we've gotta let go of one thing before we can grab hold of another.
  30. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
  31. I'm tired of going to where it's not what I came here for.
  32. Last is actually first when you turn around.
  33. The fact that she is deaf settles his mumbling problem.
  34. How many pounds am I away from great?
  35. You've got 6 inches of empty "hiney" back there.
  36. I believe we have now moved beyond my area of care.
  37. When you just get up and go you can be in a different place.
  38. Peanuts in a can of peanuts are much more desirable and tasty than the peanuts that are left in the bottom of the can of mixed nuts.
  39. That's confidence. Or stupidity.
  40. Cheers to hard times! Really.
  41. There are a lot of things I know, that I'm glad I know, that I wouldn't know if I hadn't traveled.
