Tragedy is what happens to me; comedy is what happens to you.
Bad taste is simply saying the truth before it should be said.
When I was a little kid, if somebody said they were thirty-five, I'd say "Oooh, they're going to die soon". But as I get older it doesn't mean a thing. You mustn't ever give in. Never give in to thinking you're old, because you're never old. Your mind, and I tell you this and listen to me carefully, your mind is never, ever old, it's eternally young.
If God wanted us to fly, He would have given us tickets.
If you're alive, make a lot of noise, because life is the very opposite of death.
