George Carlin
There are three kinds of people: those who can count, and those who cannot.
George Carlin
When Thomas Edison worked late into the night on the electric light, he had to do it by gas lamp or candle. I'm sure it made the work seem that much more urgent.
George Carlin
With the proper training, I could've been an evil genius.
George Carlin
More people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason.
George Carlin
It's difficult enough for a young person to put his soul on the line in front of a lot of drunken people without having that hanging over his head, too.
George Carlin
