Happiness is...

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

On this World Food Day...

Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what’s for lunch.

The Civilization that lost

If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to India.

The Papa of the Mummy

They say the pharaohs built the pyramids. Do you think one pharaoh dropped one bead of sweat? 

We built the pyramids for the pharaohs and we're building for them yet.

They're all Greek to me!

“Experts in ancient Greek culture say that people back then didn't see their thoughts as belonging to them. When ancient Greeks had a thought, it occurred to them as a god or goddess giving an order. Apollo was telling them to be brave. Athena was telling them to fall in love.

Now people hear a commercial for sour cream potato chips and rush out to buy, but now they call this free will.
At least the ancient Greeks were being honest.”
