Oscar Wilde

 

 
Always forgive your enemies — Nothing annoys them so much.

 

 

George Bernard Shaw

 

 
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.

 

 

Brooke Shields, during an interview to become spokesperson for a federalanti-smoking campaign

 

 
Smoking kills.

 

 If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life.

 

 

Rodney Dangerfield

 

 
I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me.

 

 He said I was being ridiculous -everyone hasn't met me yet.

 

 

George Burns

 

 
You've got to be honest;

 

 if you can fake that, you've got it made.

 

 

Woody Allen

 

 
I'm not afraid to die.

 

 I just don't want to be there when it happens.

 

 

Jean Kerr

 

 
Women speak because they wish to speak, whereas a man speaks only when driven to speech by something outside himself - like, for instance, he can't  find any clean socks.

 

 

Marty Feldman

 

 
The pen is mightier than the sword, and considerably easier to write with.

 

 

Dave Edison

 

 
I'm desperately trying to figure out why kamikaze pilots wore helmets.

 

 

Steve Martin

 

 
There is one thing I would break up over and that is if she caught me with another woman.

 

 I wouldn't stand for that.

 

 


Winston Churchill

 

 
History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.

 

 

Marion Barry, Mayor

 

 
If it weren't for the killings, Washington would have one of the lowest crimerates in the country.

 

 

Oscar Wilde

 

 
As yet, Bernard Shaw hasn't become prominent enough to have any enemies,but none of his friends like him.

 

 

Robin Williams

 

 
If it's the Psychic Network why do they need a phone number?

 

 

David Letterman

 

 
USA Today has come out with a new survey: Apparently three out of four people make up 75 percent of the population.

 

 

Rita Mae Brown

 

 
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans are suffering from some form of mental illness.

 

 Think of your three best friends.

 

 If they're okay, then it's you.

 

 

Groucho Marx

 

 
If you want to see a comic strip, you should see me in the shower.

 

 

Charlie Brown

 

 
Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, 'Where have I gone wrong?'

 

 Then a voice says to me, 'This is going to take more than one night.'

 

 

Will Rogers

 

 
The trouble with political jokes is that very often they get elected.

This new club is called "Storytelling: Train & Tell," and is for those who enjoy learning new storytelling and public speaking techniques. We will meet on Wednesday evenings and every fourth evening, we will put our skills to the test by presenting our stories in stand-up environments in front of live audiences.
