Wisdom for the Road

Heading in the wrong direction? God allows u-turns.

Don't take your organs to heaven …
heaven knows we need them here.

Don't let the car fool you. My treasure is in heaven.

Men who change diapers change the world.

Suburbia: Where they tear out trees and then name streets after them.

Why is there always money for war, but not education?

Vote your hopes, not your fears.

Vote like it matters. Then maybe it will.

Not everyone who wanders is lost.

I'm for the separation of church and hate.

I considered atheism but there weren't enough holidays.

Lord, help me to be the person my dog thinks I am.

Keep using my name in vain, I'll make rush hour longer. —God

I do what my Rice Krispies tell me to.

The Ten Commandments are not multiple choice. —God

"God is dead." —Nietzsche
"Nietzsche is dead." —God

A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.

The big bang theory: God spoke and bang, it happened.

Jesus saves; Buddha recycles.

WWJD? I bet he'd use his turn signal!

The best things in life aren't things.

Be intolerant of intolerance.

I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.

The shortest distance between two points isn't the point.

Honk if you love peace and quiet.

Honk if you are Jesus.

Never give the devil a ride. He will always want to drive.

I have an attitude, and I'm not afraid to use it!

Be kind to your kids. They will choose your nursing home.
