10. All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.
Fran Lebowitz (1950 - )

Get the facts, or the facts will get you. And when you get them, get them right, or they will get you wrong.
Dr. Thomas Fuller (1654 - 1734), Gnomologia, 1732

History is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind.
Edward Gibbon (1737 - 1794)

The best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible.
