George Carlin's

Nuggets from the noted political scientist, comedian George Carlin:

• Honesty may be the best policy, but it’s important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.
  

• The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, “You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.”
  

• By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth.
  

• The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse: You cannot post “Thou shalt not steal”, “Thou shalt not commit adultery”, and “Thou shalt not lie” in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.
  

• I think I am, therefore, I am. I think.
  

• May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.
