When the smarter lot speaks!

History has always produced some very smart people. Poets, Scientists, Artist, Philosophers, etc.. And when these guys speak everyone listens. They have an uncanny sense of humour too and with their talents produce some of the most memorable quotes around.

Well, if you are planning to read the rest of the article, light a cigarette, and try to figure out which end is on fire and which end is on the fool. Well, if the thought of quiting the butt ( the cigarette's) is dancing around in your mind, like MJ in his prime, you should do exactly what Mark Twain did. To him it is a walk around the park, as is proven in this statement,"Giving up smoking is easy...I've done it hundreds of times. "

If you are married, and one of your partners ( one of the your partners? what was I thinking!) is a smoker, just remember what Benjamin Franklin said," Keep your eyes wide open before marraige, and half-shut afterwards". If you didn't do the former , then you got to do the later with a lot of conviction and steadfastness. Or you could just forget that you hate the fact that your partner smokes. Forgetting is not a difficult task ( trust me, I have done it more times than I can remember), and it comes with a few perks as described by Friedrich Nietzsche ,"The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time. "

A small thought to ponder over as I leave "You can't say civilization isn't advancing; in every war they kill you in a new way. "-Will Rogers.
