1. You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six.
2. If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.
3. Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.
4. If you come to a fork in the road, take it.
5. I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.
6. Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.
7. It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much.
8. You can observe a lot by watching.
9. If people don't want to come out to the ball park, nobody's gonna stop 'em.
10. It gets late early out there.
