Confucius for Today
It is better to light the candle than to curse the darkness.He who asks a question may be a fool for five minutes; he who asks no questions stays a fool for ever.

The Master's influence is to be found in the greater part of all proverbs that emanate from China.

Do Unto Others ... Then Run
Proverbs have long been humanity's sound bites. Snippets of sagacity, proverbs presumably sum up the best thinking on a subject in a terse, inspiring way.Okay, so not always. Through the years, some of our most famous wits have used and abused well-worn sayings, adapting them for their own comic purposes. Groucho Marx, Mae West, and Joan Rivers are only a few of the well-known perpetrators featured in the hilarious new book Do Unto Others . . . Then Run. Some examples: o Love thy neighbor as thyself, but choose your neighborhood. -Louise Bealo A watched pot is usually owned by someone without cable. -Philip J. Frankenfeldo History repeats itself. Historians repeat each other. -Philip GuedallaDo Unto Others is sure to appeal to everyone who enjoys wordplay, puns, twisted meanings, and quick comebacks.
Erotic Wit
Sex has been the driving force behind much of the art and culture of the civilized world and down the centuries it has inspired great works of literature, magnificent paintings, and sculpture, and continues to do so today. "How many popular songs, films and glossy magazines do not rely at least in part on sex to boost their sales?" Sexual desire has inspired men to do great things but it has equally brought about the downfall of many; it can bring out the best in us--or the worst; it can be both beautiful and ugly, serious and funny--a veritable paradox! In this unique collection of quotations, the author has focused on the more humorous examples that have attracted his attention and consequently the reader will find a host of witty one-liners, interspersed with quotes of a more philosophical nature on this perennially fascinating subject.
