Things to ponder:

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
By the time you learn the rules of life, you're too old to play the game.
We are all time travelers moving at the speed of exactly 60 minutes per hour.
Keep the dream alive - hit the snooze button.
Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give their vacuum one more chance?
Progress is made by lazy men and women looking for an easier way to do things. 
Thanks to Coffee News for these words of wisdom.

The Ford Thunderbird was a car manufactured in the United States by the Ford Motor Company. It entered production for the 1955 model year as a two-seater sporty car but, unlike the similar Chevrolet Corvette, the Thunderbird was never sold as a full-blown sports car. Ford described it as a personal luxury car, a description which named a new market segment. In 1958, the Thunderbird gained a second row of seats. Succeeding generations became larger until the line was downsized in 1977 and again in 1980. Sales were good until the 1990s, when large 2-door coupes became unpopular; production ceased after 1997. In 2002, a revived 2-seat model was launched, which was available through the end of the 2005 model year.
