Tallulah Bankhead, Actress/Talk Show Host

"If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes – only sooner."

Mistakes are the stuff of true happiness. How many happy times can you remember in which everything came off without a hitch? Unless you had a perfect wedding, probably not one. And I don't believe anyone in the history of man or woman has ever had a good time at a wedding anyway. And if they did they were so sozzled they don't remember it.

Chances are, the stories you laugh about over and over are all about that stupid thing you did. You know it's true. Don't even try to pretend.

“If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.” ~ Catherine Aird

The latter sounds much more fun, doesn't it? It's like the difference between a complete boozer and a health nut—it's much better to be a complete boozer. Don't believe me? Take a good look next time you see someone partying it up. They're grinning from ear to ear, hugging friends. Hugging strangers. Hugging all sorts of things. The typical jogger is alone and looking as though he would very much like to slit his wrists.
