“Ho, Ho, Sir Surgeon. You are too delicate to tell the man that he is ill. You hope to heal the sick without their knowing it. You therefore flatter them. And what happens? They laugh at you. They dance upon their own graves and at last they die. Your delicacy is cruelty, your flatteries are poisons you are a murderer. Shall we keep men in a fool's paradise? Shall we lull them into soft slumber from which they will awake in hell? Are we to become helpers of their damnation by our smooth speeches? In the name of God we will not.” MenHappensLastsDiesNamesLaughingHellKnowingHe ManFoolSpeechSickIllGravesHealCrueltyAwakeParadisePoisonDelicateSmoothFlatteryMurdererSurgeonsDamnationDelicacySlumberHelpersLulls Author:Charles Spurgeon
“The man who boldly transgresses, amassing a great heap unjustly--by force, in time, he will strike his sail, when trouble seizes him as the yardarm is splintered. He calls on those who hear nothing and he struggles in the midst of the whirling waters. The god laughs at the hot-headed man, seeing him, who boasted that this would never happen, exhausted by distress without remedy and unable to surmount the cresting wave. He wrecks the happiness of his earlier life on the reef of Justice, and he perishes unwept, unseen.” MenHappensForceWaterJusticeLaughingStruggleSeeingTroubleHe ManHotWaveStrikesMidstRemedySailDistressExhaustedUnseenWrecksReefsHot Headed Author:Aeschylus

“Listen to John Coltrane enough and after two bars, just two bars at any place, and you know that's him. We all have signature things that happen to be similar that you can predict and you try to stay away from that except the rhythms: those pauses, they're part of my signature, the part where I know when I say nothing, I already painted enough, led enough and I don't even have to say anything. But those pauses don't belong to me. Jack Benny was one of the first guys in comedy to make the anticipation so great that during the pause people start to laugh before the execution.” PeopleKnowsTryingFirstsTwoEnoughHappensGuyLaughingComedyBarsRhythmAnticipationExecutionPausesSay AnythingSignaturesColtrane Author:Bill Cosby
“The real challenge in acting is in comedy. It's easier to get that gasp in a drama. Not easy, because you still have to find that emotional pitch. And when you do something in drama and you hear that sob from the audience it's so fulfilling. But as a comic actor, when the laugh is supposed to come and you punch in that line and nothing happens it is dreadful. It's horrific and you feel like dying right there.” FeelsStillsRealHappensActorsEasyChallengesLinesActingAudienceLaughingComedyDyingEmotionalEasierDramaThings HappenComicFulfillingHorrificFeel Like Dying Author:George Takei
“The French are not rude. They just happen to hate you. But that is no reason to bypass this beautiful country, whose master chefs have a well-deserved worldwide reputation for trying to trick people into eating snails. Nobody is sure how this got started. Probably a couple of French master chefs were standing around one day, and they found a snail, and one of them said: 'I bet that if we called this something like `escargot,' tourists would eat it.' Then they had hearty laugh, because 'escargot' is the French word for 'fat crawling bag of phlegm.'” PeopleIfsTryingWellsSaidCountryReasonHappensBeautifulHateFoundLaughingMastersCoupleOne DayEatingStandingTricksFatsReputationBagsNo ReasonCulinaryChefRudeHate YouTouristsCrawlingSnailBypassHeartyBeautiful CountryEscargot Book:Dave Barry's Only Travel Guide You'll Ever Need Source: Dave Barry's Only Travel Guide You'll Ever Need
