Fabric Softeners are how our wives mark their territory. We can take off the ring, but it's hard to get that April fresh scent out of your clothes.
Andy Rooney
I've learned... That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.
Andy Rooney

Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
Andy Rooney
Anyone who watches golf on television would enjoy watching the grass grow on the greens.
Andy Rooney
We're all proud of making little mistakes. It gives us the feeling we don't make any big ones.
Andy Rooney
Believing is such a comfort that it's hard to give up a belief just because it isn't true.
Andy Rooney
No matter what any of the grammar teachers say, punctuation is an arbitrary matter. It should be used to make sentences clear.
