An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't.

An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable.

An exile's life is no life.

An idea isn't worth that much. It's the execution of the idea that has value. If you can't convince one other person that this is something to devote your life to, then it's not worth it.

ttle Johnny was in class and the teacher
announced that
they were going to try something different to help
everyone get to know
each other a little better, and to help with their
spelling.
She explained, "I want you to stand up and give us the
occupation of
your father, spell it, and say one thing he would give
us all if he was
here today."
The first student raised her
hand to volunteer.
"Marcy," the teacher said. "You may go
first."
Marcy replied, "My father is a banker. B-A-N-K-E-R and if he
was here
today, he would give us all a shiny new penny."
The teacher said, "Very nice, Marcy, who wants to go next?"
Kevin
stood up and announced, "My father is a baker. B-A-K-E-R and if
he
was here today, he would give us all a freshly-baked cookie."
"Very good," the teacher told Kevin.
Jeff was next, and he said,
"My father is an accountant. A-K, no wait,
A-C-K, no..."

Before he could attempt to spell it once more, the teacher cut
him off
and told him to sit back down and to think about it for a
while. When
he thought he knew how to spell it, he could stand back up
and try
again.
Little Johnny raised his hand in excitement
hoping to be acknowledged
by the teacher. The teacher called on
little Johnny to go next.
Johnny said, "My father is a bookie.
B-O-O-K-I-E and if he was here
today, he would give us all 20:1 odds
Jeff will never be able to spell

Four corporate presidents, one
English,
one French, one Japanese and one American, were on their way to
an
international business conference when they were kidnapped by
terrorists and taken to a secret hideout.
"You, your companies, and
you countries are enemies of the
Revolution," screamed the terrorist
leader, "and you're going to be executed!
Do you have any last
requests?"
The Englishman spoke first.
"Before I die, I want
to honor my country and protest this barbaric
act by singing "God
Save The Queen" to all you men."
"That can be arranged," said the
terrorist.
The Frenchman said, "And I want to honor my country
before I die by
singing "The Marseilles" to your men."
The
Japanese said, "Before I die, I wish to honor my country by giving
the lecture I was going to present on the Mapanese style of industrial
management."
The terrorist turned finally to the America
n.
"What is your last request?"
The American replied, "I
want you to kill me right now so I don't
have to listen to another
lecture on the Japanese style of industrial
management!"

The banker fell overboard from a friend's
sailboat.
The friend grabbed a life preserver, held it up, not
knowing if the
banker could swim, and shouted, "Can you float
alone?"
"Obviously," the banker replied, "but this is a heck of a time
to
talk business."

An
investment counselor decided to go out
on her own. She was shrewd and diligent,
so business kept coming
in, and pretty soon she realized that she
needed an in-house counsel.
The investment banker began to interview young
lawyers.
"As
I'm sure you can understand," she started off with one of the
first applicants, "in a business like this, our personal integrity must
be beyond question." She leaned forward. "Mr. Mayberry, are you an
honest lawyer?"
"Honest?" replied the job prospect. "Let me
tell you something about
honest. Why, I'm so honest that my father
lent me $15,000 for my
education, and I paid back every penny the
minute I tried my very first
case."
"Impressive. And what sort
of case was that?" asked the investment
counselor.
The
lawyer squirmed in his seat and admitted, "He sued me for the
money."
