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.

Excitement

Nothing is so aggravating than calmness.

This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.

Dream

The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle.

You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.

The best love affairs are those we never had.

Like all dreamers I confuse disenchantment with truth.

Have you noticed ... there is never any third act in a nightmare? They bring you to a climax of terror and then leave you there. They are the work of poor dramatists.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you.

There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. - C.S. Lewis

I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open, and I'll do my looking back with my eyes closed.

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

Life is never easy for those who dream.

When your dreams turn to dust, vacuum.

Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.
