More From P. J. O'Rourke

I got a fortune cookie that said, "to remember is to understand." i have never forgotten it. a good judge remembers what it was like to be a lawyer. a good editor remembers being a writer. a good parent remembers what it was like to be a child.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done nothing you can sing that can't be sung. nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game. it's easy. nothing you can make that can't be made. no one you can save that can't be saved. nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time. it's easy. nothing you can know that isn't known. nothing you can see that isn't shown. nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be. it's easy.

The fact is that in england so many of our politicians are career politicians - they've always been politicians since they left their education. and in the old days of course politicians used to be fish mongers or doctors or whatever. they'd lived life. these days, power seems to go to the hands of people that that's all they've done. and i'm not sure that's a good thing, because it does remove them from the realities of life.

I am not the kind of person that wants to enforce my wants, likes, desires, on everybody else. i have no desire that everybody like what i like. i have no desire everybody say what i want to hear said. i have no desire everybody stop whatever they're doing and listen to what i have to say. i have no desire that everybody agree. no, that's not true. i do wish everybody agreed, but i'm not gonna sit around and force that on people.

Diplomacy, n : 1. the patriotic art of lying for one's country. 2. the art of letting someone have your way. 3. the art of saying 'nice doggy' until you can find a rock. a diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.
Country Art Nice
Be glαd of life, becαuse it gives you the chαnce to love αnd to work αnd to plαy αnd to look up αt the stαrs; to be sαtisfied with your posessions, to despise nothing in the world except fαlsehood αnd meαnness αnd to feαr nothing except cowαrdice; to be governed by your αdmirαtions rαther thαn by your disgusts, to covet nothing thαt is your neighbour's except his kindness of heαrt αnd gentleness of mαnners; to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends and to spend αs much time αs you cαn with body αnd with spirit.

It is a good and safe rule to sojourn in every place as if you meant to spend your life there, never omitting an opportunity of doing a kindness, or speaking a true word, or making a friend.
Inspirational Kindness Opportunity
He was one of those men, and they are not the commonest, of whom we can know the best only by following them away from the marketplace, the platform, and the pulpit, entering with them into their own homes, hearing the voice with which they speak to the young and aged about their own hearthstone, and witnessing their thoughtful care for the everyday wants of everyday companions, who take all their kindness as a matter of course, and not as a subject for panegyric.
Kindness Home Men
I am not [...] asserting that humans are either genial or aggressive by inborn biological necessity. obviously, both kindness and violence lie within the bounds of our nature because we perpetrate both, in spades. i only advance a structural claim that social stability rules nearly all the time and must be based on an overwhelmingly predominant (but tragically ignored) frequency of genial acts, and that geniality is therefore our usual and preferred response nearly all the time. [...] [t]he center of human nature is rooted in ten thousand ordinary acts of kindness that define our days.
