10 things worth thinking about

1. Three people can keep a secret, but only if two are dead.

2. In 49 states, 65 percent of our people have sound minds and 35 percent are total loons. In California, those percentages are reversed.

3. When Ronald Reagan left office, his poll ratings were among the highest of any president since World War II.

4. If you catch a used car salesman winking at your wife, he knows more about her than you do.

5. Barbara Walters knows more about politics than anyone on Capitol Hill, and she learned it all through pillow talk.

6. Never forget where you are, where you are going, but most importantly, where you came from.

7. Closure. No such thing. If you have ever been damaged mentally or physically, the wound is always there. It’s only covered by a scar.

8. There are always three sides to every divorce: his side, her side and the truth.

9. Thomas Jefferson once said, “When government fears the people, that’s liberty, but when people fear government, that’s tyranny.” Will we ever get liberty back?

10. If there is an old lady in the street in front of an oncoming bus and you pull her to safety, society will remember you for 10 minutes. But if you push her in front of that bus, society will remember you when hell is frozen over.
