On a bumper sticker I saw recently:

@hamburgboy,
Mother Nature has let us flounder all night in the fog. We fight our way. She is telling us with her fog that life is not always a direct sighting; you don't always know where you are or where you are going; you can only keep fighting with a smile until it breaks and the new light is seen, then you are on your way again. It may be a new direction, but it is a life. Thanks for the fog.

“While browsing in a second-hand bookshop one day, George Bernard Shaw was amused to find a copy of one of his own works which he himself had inscribed for a friend: "To ----, with esteem, George Bernard Shaw."
He immediately purchased the book and returned it to the friend with a second inscription: "With renewed esteem, George Bernard Shaw.”
