50. ALL GROWTH IS A LEAP IN THE DARK, A SPONTANEOUS UNPREDIMATED
ACT WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF EXPERIENCE. (This advice, by far, is the most

should be given homework. (What about projects? May be consider a threesome
with the hot teacher)
60. I think sleeping was my problem in school. If school had started at four in the
afternoon, I’d be a college graduate today.
61. YOU AIN’T LEARNING ANYTHING WHEN YOU’RE TALKING. (To expose the

76. IT IS THE PROVINCE OF KNOWLEDGE TO SPEAK AND IT IS THE PRIVELEGE
OF WISDOM TO LISTEN.

were uneducted, where the hell did they gather the information of what is a
stick?)
78. SOME PEOPLE TALK IN THEIR SLEEP, LECTURERS TALK WHILE OTHER
PEOPLE SLEEP.

THE ESCALATOR TO ADULTHOOD

80. ALL APPEARS TO CHANGE WHEN WE CHANGE. (Pointing out the obvious

whoever you are, you need one.
90. EVERY MAN’S LIFE IS A FAIRY TALE WRITTEN BY GOD’S FINGERS.
91. When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s
to enjoy each step along the way.
