One of my favorites isn't really a quote so much as an "old saying", but it's logic is undeniable.

"If you ever see a turtle on top of a fence post, you know that it didn't get there by itself."

For some reason that always makes me think of GWB.

Ockham, you are so mysterious.  You disappear, and we think, "Will he be back?" 

We never know.

I hope the answer is yes.

I read "the Boomer Bible." Actually finished about a month and a half ago and forgot to e-mail you.

A sweet thought. Relative to the universe, I am never far away. And, there is a difference between being gone, and observing silence.

To Dan: Hope you enjoyed it, Dan. Hope you have noticed that there is more there than the surface. I'm sure you have.
