Never despair, never give up!

If at first you don’t succeed
do something different. Keep on
trying one thing after another.

Because there are lots
of ways to drain a swamp or
secherate a skunkwaller.

When you find one that
works, let me know.
I'm still looking.

AN UNBALANCED EQUATION TO FIND
AN ASYMMETRICAL EQUILIBRIUM
X
Love is a four-letter word but
lie has only three letters.

You has three too and
we is two until we isn't.

I alone am one so
woe equals me.

This equation is valid for
most personal relationships
and it solves for any variable.
_________

Forget about killing the fatted calf.

An appropriate meal to celebrate
the return of the prodigal child is stewed
crow served with a side of tough love.

And for dessert, a hefty slice of humble pie.

Unless the prodigal has played the
repentance game a time or two before.
Then you should just let it starve.
_________

Wisdom begins with the realization
that there are no eternal verities.

Only marriages of convenience,
temporary liaisons, brief flirtations,
and thrilling one-night stands.
_________

No authority can be self-authenticating.

Whenever someone — a priest or
a prophet, a parent or a philosopher,
a president or even a poet — says*

*What I have told you is the absolute
truth and you must accept it on
faith alone, now and forever.
**
Don't do it!
Trust me on this.
