Said the little boy, Sometimes I drop my spoon. Said the little old man, I do that too. The little boy whispered, I wet my pants. I do too, laughed the old man. Said the little boy, I often cry. The old man nodded. So do I. But worst of all, said the boy, it seems Grown-ups don't pay attention to me. And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand. I know what you mean, said the little old man.

If you get hung up on everybody else's hang-ups, then the whole world's going to be nothing more than one huge gallows.

Children look for grown-ups to show them how to live; When we try to fool them, they see through us like a sieve. We recognize the problem now; that's wonderful to see; The answer may well plague us 'til new values come to be. Volunteers are wonderful and will help to meet the need, But we must change the literature on which our children feed. We must teach and model absolutes of love, and justice, too; Prove to them that what we say, is just what we will do. There is one book, and it alone, will help attain success. It is the book, our fathers brought, to tame this wilderness. They used the Bible as their guide, the written Word of God; And found the wisdom written there, the greatest on this sod. Whether it was in the home, in public, or in school, The bible was the blueprint that became their greatest tool. Let's trash the recent literature before it is too late; Teach again, the basic values, that made our nation great. Surely it is evident, without a single doubt, That truth and right mus be invoked to help our children out. So, let's scour all the nation, and get folks to volunteer That believe the principles our precious kids should hear. If they are dependable, and use the proper tact, Volunteers can help to get our children back on track.

In high school, we studied a lot of poetical forms. I was really interested in the math that was involved and the strange live break ups. That gave me a great amount of respect for a rhymed stanza.

Grown ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

D'you call life a bad job Never We've had our ups and downs, we've had our struggles, we've always been poor, but it's been worth it, ay, worth it a hundred times I say when I look round at my children.

Rick certainly seems in command right now. Erik seems to be pressing a bit out there, ... When you grade the film and look at all the cut-ups and all the breakdowns of all the drills, the two guys are equal. If it's still even, what am I going to do? Flip a coin? No. We'll play them both. We'll figure something out.

They've been unbelievable. We've had some ups and downs -- probably a lot more downs -- and they've been there throughout it all to support us.

Assumption is the mother of all screw-ups.

Life is a rollercoaster. We spend part of the time waiting for the ups, part of the time screaming at the downs, wishing we could ride it again when we're dying, and the entire time sitting on our butts getting lazier.

Sometimes we have love and sometimes we lose love. Sometimes love can hurt terribly like a deep wound. In our world we have lots of ups and downs, pleasures and pains. But that’s life and we learn to accept the bad with the good. Without the bad times we wouldn't appreciate the good times. Life is precious and I cherish every single moment.

You know I've made mistakes
I've had my ups and downs
My ins and outs
My share of bad breaks
But when it's all
Been said and done
I raise my beer and I swear
'God it's been fun!'
