Because I said so.

1. Every rock band should have a horn section.

2. Excursions outside your comfort zone are the best way to expand it.

3. If you believe God’s word to be inerrant, then stop arguing with him when he reveals himself through scientific discovery.

4. Make living your passions a habit, not an indulgence.

5. Seemingly heroic acts are not necessarily courageous. True courage is purposeful action taken irrespective of a dire and personal risk arguing persuasively against it. Uncommon valor is knowing you would do it repeatedly. I am in awe of these people.

6. An overwhelming sense of gratitude is the indisputable proof of true wealth. Surely impoverished is an otherwise rich man without it.

7. Whipped cream: never has so little resulted in the pleasure of so many.

8. There’s nothing wrong with “thinking with your penis” if you happen to own one, you are in the midst of having sex, and your atheistic partner is periodically invoking the name of the diety.

9. The laws of probability make it a virtual certainty that intelligent life exists or existed at some point elsewhere in the universe. The laws of physics make it a virtual certainty that we will never discover it or that it will never discover us.

10. Winning an argument is not nearly as satisfying as simply constructing an intelligent one.
 
I once worked a "Jack Mack and the Heart Attack" show at the bar where I was employed as the head bouncer.

My dad said a few things...

"It's always easier to get forgiveness than permission."

"In your life you will have many opportunities to keep your mouth shut. Take advantage of all of them."

Hah. That I did not know.

My dad was probably one of the smartest people I've ever met. He taught me the value of being underestimated, the essence of #2. He never let his ego or massive intellect lure him into a false strategic move.

Here I argue a lot. In reality when it's something serious and it matters to me, that's when I'm the most quiet. I am genuinely amazed at how many arguments and fights I have bypassed or won by never engaging in them.

The difference between knowledge and wisdom is of polar proportions at times.
 
Its much easier to kill people than change their stupid minds.

It's much easier than that to ignore them.

The best revenge I can think of is making sure someone I don't like has no influence over my thoughts or actions, and they're...all the way over there.

Risking murder for them sounds too much like work and attention I'd prefer to invest into something useful.
