(Quoting one is plagiarism, quoting many is research)
Life
Life is full of ups and downs, like getting up every
morning and getting down to work.
laughter
Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, snore and
you sleep alone!
love
Love is blind, marriage is the eye opener - a hard
lesson
in life!
liberty
Liberty is imagination's most precious possession.
and
learning
Life is only understood backwards but it must be lived
forward.
(A college education is a great help to someone who
is
willing to learn something afterwards)
The good life is one inspired by love and guided
by knowledge.
- Bertrand Russell
This World Wide Wait...err...Web page is an attempt
to
make your life happy and fulfilling.
Get real - it is for some laughs.
If you get a laugh out of this page, share it with friends or/and
family.
If you are inspired by a poem or a song, do a simple good deed - like
telling
your parent or spouse or child that you love them. Smile and greet
people
in the street to help build a better society and the world.
Simplistic
portrayal of life is not any reflection of our present time of one
liners
and short attention span. It is born out of few simple ideas. Happiness
lies in the simple things of one's life. All the elegance of the
universe
lies in simplicity of thought, design and deeds. It is up to you to
think
and bring about happiness in your life. Thinking unbound by a belief or
dogma is the ultimate liberty. Flex your thinking like the
wings
of an eagle and soar to the heights of happiness and wisdom.
Many people would sooner die than think; In fact,
they
do so
--
Bertrand
Russell
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet
engines
-- John Benfield
Happiness and wisdom? How would I know?
I am an american, myself!
Knowing something is knowledge
and using it is wisdom.
-Unknown
The test of a first rate intelligence is the ability
to
hold two opposed
ideas in the mind at the same time and still
retain
the ability to function.
-F.Scot Fitzgerald
Contrana non contradictoria sed complimenta stunt
Opposites are not contradictory but complementary
- Niels Bohr
Lyrics and Poems
Life
You have a life, donot waste it
Precious to those who can taste it
You have a light, you can see
You have a life to follow me

Life is to live full and free
Love is meant for you and me
Learning is an everlasting light
Liberty always shines warm and bright

There is a polar bear
in our Frigidaire
He likes it because it’s cold in there,
with his seat
in the meat
face in the fish
paws in the butter dish
nibbling the noodles
slurping the soda
munching the rice
licking the ice
and he lets out a roar
if you open the door
and it gives me a scare
to know he is in there
that polary bear
in our frigitydaire.
Polar bear in our Frigidaire
Anonymous
From red bugs and bed-bugs
From sand flies and land flies
Mosquitoes and fleas
From hog ticks and dog ticks
From hen lice and men lice
We pray thee, good Lord, give us ease
And all the congregation shall scratch and say, Amen
please

Love
Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
and wouldn't you love to love her?
She moves her life like a bird in the flight
and who will be her lover?
Rhiannon
Fleetwood Mac
English rock & roll band
1975
On the beaches washed by seas
on the banks clustered with flowers
in the grooves filled with bird cries
What a sight my dear!
My eyes saw him
My arms held him
My heart loved him
What shall I make of this dear?
What she said to her girlfriend
Anonymous Indian Poet
From Sanskrit texts
3 century B CE
Liberty
My people came to the U.S.A.
To live in a land of liberty.
But I grew up in the U.S.A.
In metropolized Spoon River.
And I saw that the thing is money, money,
And the gift of gab for liberty.
So I was elected county treasurer,
And I cleaned up quite a roll.
You can fool all the people part of the time -
And that is enough.
The New Spoon River Anthology
Edgar Lee Masters
American Poet
1924
I pledge a lesson to the frog of the United States
of
America.
And to the wee puppet for witch's hands.
One Asian, in the vestibule, with little tea and
just rice for all.
Walking in Lucky Shoes
(Her recital of the pledge as a free 3 year old girl
learning english in USA after escaping from China)

Learning
Imagine there's no countries, it is n’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion too...
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us, And the world will be
as one.
Imagine
John Lennon
Rock and roll musician
1971
A guest am I
In this world of transient things,
Unfettered by the entanglements thereof.
I am of no country,
No boundaries hold me.
The immortal friend
Jiddu Krishnamurthi
Indian philosopher
1928

If you donot succeed at first, ... Well, so much for
sky
diving.
If you donot succeed at first...don’t try again, she
is expecting it.
If you donot succeed at first, ...fix the blame, Quick!
If you donot succeed at first, ... you are about
average.
If you donot succeed at first, ... blame it on your
secretary!
If you donot succeed at first, ... well, get on with
your life.
If you donot succeed at first ... failure may be your
style
If we donot succeed ... we run the risk of failure.

Two birds in the bush are more exciting than one at
hand.
One who says a bird in hand worth two in the bush is
not talking about real birds.
A bird in the hand is can be an awful mess, sometimes.
A bird in the hand is bad table manners.
A bird in the hand is worth about $20 a pound,
ask any turkey hunter's wife.
A bird in the hand is useless when you want to blow
your
nose.

Behind every successful man stands a woman telling him
that he is not so hot.
Behind every successful man stands a woman telling him
to put everything in her name.
Behind every successful man stands a woman and IRS
Behind every successful man stands his amazed
mother
-in- law.
Behind every successful man there is always a fellow
who went to school with him.

You can't fool all the people all the time, quite a few
are busy fooling you.
You can fool all the people some time & some of the
people all the time, but you can't fool your wife
You can fool some of the people and some of the time
and that is enough dough.
You can fool all the people part of the time - And that
is enough.
-- Edgar Lee Masters

To err is human, to moo is bovine.
To err is human, but to really foul things up requires
a computer.
To err is dysfunctional, to forgive is co-dependent.
--Berton Averre

Meek shall inherit the earth and the national debt.
Meek shall inherit the Earth, but not its mineral
rights.

A stitch in time would have confused Einstein.

Lift off
Houston, we have a successful launch of someone into
the unknown blue yonder of life
on a mission to explore happiness of love,
laughter
and liberty.
