Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality.

As long as the mind is seeking to fill itself, it will always be empty. When the mind is no longer concerned with filling its own emptiness, then only does that emptiness cease to be.

It's true that misery loves company. If you ever doubt
that, look at a No-Pest Strip. It's COVERED with flies.
You'd think that the FIRST fly would tell any others
"GO AROUND! GO AROUND!..."

Take this at least, this last advice, my son:
Keep a stiff rein, and move but gently on:
The coursers of themselves will run too fast,
Your art must be to moderate their haste.
(Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso), Metamorphoses: Story of Phaeton (bk. II, l. 147))

Pandarus: Be moderate, be moderate.
Cressida: Why tell you me of moderation?
The grief is fine, full, perfect, that I taste,
And violenteth in a sense as strong
As that which causeth it.
How can I moderate it?
(William Shakespeare, The History of Troilus and Cressida (Pandarus & Cressida at IV, iv))

If garlic powder is made from garlic, and olive oil is made from olives, what are baby powder and baby oil made from? One must also consider foot powder and toothpaste.

Softens Your Hands as You Do Dishes

Assumed by Global Honk to be a warning label. If every time you use a product it softens your hands, won't they eventually turn to mush?

According to Merriam Webster Online the word stupid appears to have originated in 1541. Imagine this, before 1541 nobody was stupid! This sounds very nice, but then I get a little sad because of 1541 and the introduction of the word stupid. Who was the first person officially known as stupid? Did this bother the person to be called stupid?

Happy thought, perhaps this person was so stupid he or she didn't know that being called stupid was not a compliment.
