Dancing is like dreaming with your feet!
The truest expression of a people is in its dance and in its music. Bodies never lie.
You can dance anywhere, even if only in your heart.
Dancing is the perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire.
Dance is the only art of which we ourselves are the stuff of which it is made.
There are short-cuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them.
To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. ~ Agnes De Mille
Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is another.
In a dancer, there is a reverence for such forgotten things as the miracle of the small beautiful bones and their delicate strength. ~ Martha Graham
Dancing can reveal all the mystery that music conceals.
Dancing is the poetry of the foot.
Dance is the hidden language of the soul.
Movement never lies. It is a barometer telling the state of the soul's weather to all who can read it.
Dance is a song of the body. Either of joy or pain.
Next time you're mad, try dancing out your anger.
Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.

Doctors
The doctor is to be feared more than the disease.I recently went to a new doctor and noticed he was located in something called the Professional Building. I felt better right away. - George Carlin
Doctors are the same as lawyers; the only difference is that lawyers merely rob you, whereas doctors rob you and kill you too.
Doctors are men who prescribe medicines of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, in human beings of whom they know nothing.
Time is generally the best doctor.
Doctors cut, burn, and torture the sick, and then demand of them an undeserved fee for such services.
As long as men are liable to die and are desirous to live, a physician will be made fun of, but he will be well paid.
The more things doctors are able to do, the more likely that at least a few doctors won't do them. And the result will be more people suing for negligence.
The reason doctors are so dangerous is that they believe in what they are doing.
A hospital should also have a recovery room adjoining the cashier's office.
I wondher why ye can always read a doctor's bill an' ye niver can read his purscription.
When a lot of remedies are suggested for a disease, that means it cannot be cured.

Sleep
I wasn’t really asleep I was just meditating on unconsciousness.
Sleep is pain's easiest salve, and doth fulfill all the offices of death, except to kill.
Sleep is when all the unsorted stuff comes flying out as from a dustbin upset in a high wind.
I have never taken any exercise except sleeping and resting. - Mark Twain
Sleep is an excellent way of listening to an opera.
Sleep is lovely, death is better still, not to have been born is of course the miracle.
Sometimes the most productive thing one can do is to sleep.
If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.
People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one.
Life is something that happens when you can't get to sleep.
The bed is a bundle of paradoxes: we go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it with regret; we make up our minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late.
Sleep is a symptom of caffeine deprivation.
People who snore always fall asleep first.
Without enough sleep, we all become tall two-year-olds.
The worst thing in the world is to try to sleep and not to.
I'm not asleep... but that doesn't mean I'm awake.
The feeling of sleepiness when you are not in bed, and can't get there, is the meanest feeling in the world.
O bed! O bed! delicious bed!
That heaven upon earth to the weary head.

Sense
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
It's no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.
Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value.
All things make sense; you just have to fathom how they make sense.
Our choices in life are made according to our sense of our own worth.
Only one thing is impossible for God: To find any sense in any copyright law on the planet.
One doesn't have a sense of humor. It has you.
Art is a sense of magic.
Genius ain't anything more than elegant common sense.
People think love is an emotion. Love is good sense.
If you sense there must be more, there is more.
What we're doing is fun - if you have any sense of humor at all! - Calvin Klein
Money is like a sixth sense without which you cannot make a complete use of the other five.
Nonsense is so good only because common sense is so limited.
Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.
Love does not cause suffering: what causes it is the sense of ownership, which is love's opposite.
It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure.
The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.
The simplest explanation is that it doesn't make sense.

Gossip
What is told in the ear of a man is often heard 100 miles away.
No one gossips about other people's secret virtues.
If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees. ~ Kahlil Gibran, Sand and Foam
When you are in trouble, people who call to sympathize are really looking for the particulars.
Whoever gossips to you will gossip about you.
Nothing travels faster than light, with the possible exception of bad news, which follows its own rules.
Show me someone who never gossips, and I'll show you someone who isn't interested in people. ~ Barbara Walters
Gossip needn't be false to be evil - there's a lot of truth that shouldn't be passed around.
It isn't what they say about you, it's what they whisper.
Trying to squash a rumor is like trying to unring a bell.
Who brings a tale takes two away.
A rumor without a leg to stand on will get around some other way.
The biggest liar in the world is They Say.
Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.
There is so much good in the worst of us,
And so much bad in the best of us,
That it hardly becomes any of us
To talk about the rest of us.
~Edward Wallis Hoch

Teddy Bears
To a child, Teddy is a bridge between a human and an animal. He doesn't mind being dressed in ridiculous hats, or even being read to. You can blame him for anything, and he won't deny it. His marvellous face expresses anything a child wants to feel or hear.
Teddy Bears are like keys . . . They're always in the first place you think they'd be, and the last place you look.
In a world where everyone seems to be larger and louder than yourself, it is very comforting to have a small, quiet companion.
A bear teaches us that if the heart is true, it doesn't matter much if an ear drops off.
Wake in the deepest dark of night and hear the driving rain. Reach out a hand and take a paw and go to sleep again.
Bears sleep by day. At night they stay awake to chase away bad dreams.
A bear remains a bear - even when most of him has fallen off or worn away.
One never quite gets over a lost bear.
