3. If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.

5. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

6. They begin the evening news with ‘Good Evening,’ then proceed to tell you why it isn’t.

7. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.

8. Buses stop in bus stations. Trains stop in train stations. On my desk is a work station. (I had to think about this one.)

19. Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.

20. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

21. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
