I've Heard It Said That

Dreck Is Dreck And No Amount Of Fancy Polish Is Going To Make It Anything Else.

People Are Pretty Much Alike. It's Only That Our Differences Are More Susceptible To Definition Than Our Similarities.

We Plant A Tree That Won't Be Big Enough To Climb Until We're Too Old To Climb Trees, We Write Constitutions To Protect The Rights Of People Who Won't Be Born For Another Hundred Years And May Not Be Worth The Trouble Anyway, And We Try To Take Care Of Our Sick, Though We All Suffer From A Disease For Which There Is No Cure And No Hope For One. We Will Not Last And We Know We Will Not - And Still We Write, Carve, Build, Paint And Plant To Last. We Are, It Seems To Me, Very, Very Brave.

When There Is Good News, And It Is News , We Do Report It, But Usually News Is A Record Of Human Failure. Those Wanting To Celebrate Human Accomplishment Are, As Someone Said, Advised To Go To The Sports Section.

If You Don't Want To Get Old, Don't Mellow.
