I loathe the expression 'What makes him tick' . . .
A person not only ticks, he also chimes and strikes the hour,
falls and breaks and has to be put together again, and sometimes
stops like an electric clock in a thunderstorm.
--James Thurber
Early to rise and early to bed makes a male healthy and wealthy and dead.
--James Thurber (1894 - 1961)
Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.
--James Thurber
Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquility.
--James Thurber
