If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.
Well, to be frank I like natural beauty. Not artificial.
Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water.

Software is like sex: it’s better when it’s free.
Success is full of promise till one gets it, and then it seems like a nest from which the bird has flown.

Sometimes we should express our gratitude for the small and simple things like the scent of the rain, the taste of your favorite food, or the sound of a loved one’s voice.
I’m convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like they’re stones that don’t matter. As long as you’re breathing, it’s never too late to do some good.
The Indian education system, like the Indian bureaucratic system, is Victorian and still in the 19th century. Our schools are still designed to produce clerks for an empire that does not exist anymore.
The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter – for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way.

I don’t like looking back. I’m always constantly looking forward. I’m not the one to sort of sit and cry over spilt milk. I’m too busy looking for the next cow.
I used to work in the cotton fields a lot when I was young. There were a lot of African Americans working out there. A lot of Mexicans – the blacks and the whites and the Mexicans, all out there singing, and it was like an opera in the cotton fields, and I can still hear it in the music that I write and play today.
Of course I’ve got lawyers. They are like nuclear weapons, I’ve got em ’cause everyone else has. But as soon as you use them they screw everything up.

A two-year-old is kind of like having a blender, but you don’t have a top for it.

Where would you be without friends? The people to pick you up when you need lifting? We come from homes far from perfect, so you end up almost parent and sibling to your friends – your own chosen family. There’s nothing like a really loyal, dependable, good friend. Nothing.
The man who never alters his opinions is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.
A guru is like a live road map. If you want to walk uncharted terrain, I think it is sensible to walk with a road map.
The magnificent cosmos is a palace that has the sun and the moon as its lamps and the stars as its candles; time is like a rope or ribbon hung within it, on to which the Glorious Creator each year threads a new world.
If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf.
It’s not me trying to act or pose in a certain way. It’s a lifestyle – like a suaveness or a swag, per se.
When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains, and the women come out to cut up what remains, jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains and go to your gawd like a soldier.
I like to reminisce with people I don’t know.
There are times when one would like to hang the whole human race, and finish the farce.
Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.
A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.
In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.
Well, Art is Art, isn’t it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know.
Nine-tenths of tactics are certain, and taught in books: but the irrational tenth is like the kingfisher flashing across the pool, and that is the test of generals.

All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Worrying is like paying on a debt that may never come due.
Innocence is like polished armor; it adorns and defends.

War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus.
I like fish, and I also like bear’s paws. If I cannot have the two together, I will let the fish go, and take the bear’s paws. So, I like life, and I also like righteousness. If I cannot keep the two together, I will let life go, and choose righteousness.
There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.
Unforgiveness is like drinking poison yourself and waiting for the other person to die.
Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.
Life is like a roller coaster, live it, be happy, enjoy life.
I hate organized religion. I think you have to love thy neighbor as thyself. I think you have to pick your own God and be true to him. I always say ‘him’ rather than ‘her.’ Maybe it’s because of my generation, but I don’t like the idea of a female God. I see God as a benevolent male.
There’s nobody in the world like me. I think every decade has an iconic blonde, like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana and, right now, I’m that icon.
