    There are so many to choose from, but one of my favourites is Groucho Marx to a rather snotty author - "From the moment I picked up your book until I put it down, I was convulsed with laughter - someday I intend reading it'

    Another, was from former US President Calvin Coolidge. At a dinner party, one young temptress remarked to him 'Mr President, I have a bet with my friend I can make you say at least 3 words all evening' To which Coolidge replied 'You lose' and said nothing for the rest of the night. Brilliant.

    "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength" 1984 by George Orwell. Paradoxically its some how right. If your at war with a country then the attacking country is united, if you have to many choices you cannot decide whereas if someone didnt give you a choice you should be happy as you dont know any difference and it saves time umming and arring over such trivia and if youre ignorant then you think you are strong as youre ignorant.

    "You can put a cat in the oven but it doesn't make it a biscuit."

    I don't know why but I personally like this one-liner. It makes me smile. It's from the 1992 film "White Men Can't Jump" (See below link). However I'm sure I first noticed it on an episode of "The Simpsons" though, but I can't find any reference to it.

    Encouragement- If He brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

    Advice- If you make a habit of 'drowning your sorrows' (with alcohol), remember they will one day learn to swim!
