Tom Wilson - biography

“Wisdom doesn’t necessarily come with age.  Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.”

“If I ever had an out-of-body experience - I’d try to come back to a different one.”

“What this country needs is a credit card for charging things to experience.”

“A smile is happiness you’ll find right under your nose.”

“Happiness doesn’t depend on how much you have to enjoy, but how much you enjoy what you have.”

“We are set to make very bad history.”

“Mondays are the potholes in the road of life.”

“Nobody got where they are today by living for tomorrow.”

“If you spend all of your time racing ahead to the future, you’re liable to discover you’ve left a great present behind.”

“I try not to worry about the future - so I take each day just one anxiety attack at a time.”

“If I had a nickel for every time I said ‘Why me?’ I’d have probably said ‘Why me?’ more often.”

“About the only time losing is more fun than winning is when you’re fighting temptation.”

“A smile is a facelift that’s in everyone’s price range!”

“I wouldn’t mind the rat race - if the rats would lose once in a while.”

“Many of us are more capable than some of us...  but none of us is as capable as all of us!”

“The waist is a terrible thing to mind.”

“There’s no future in spending our present worrying about our past.”

“These days an income is something you can’t live without - or within.”
