| About Father Fabian |

 

· You’re up a creek without a logical paddle!

· Say what you mean and mean what you say.

· Don’t sell yourself short.

· If the shoe fits, wear it.

· Halftime heroes; end of the game zeroes.

· The game is not over till its over.

· As long as there is life, there is hope.

· You don’t need Fabian’s filing system; you just have to have a system.

· You have short cuts and long routes.

· Copi is one of the greatest logicians around; I think he’s dead now.

· That’s a hard test to take.

· Cool it!  Let’s discuss it.

· You’ll have to make people cry today so they don’t have to cry tomorrow.

· Don’t let emotions run your life.

· No one?  You’re going to make me cry.

· I’ll stop there—my titanium valve can’t take it.

· Pick up your baggage!  I am going to charge you rent!

· Here’s your baggage; pick it up...NOW!

· ...And we’re off!

· You can’t force a free will.

· Maintain simplicity in the midst of multiplicity.

· We humans: homo sapiens; sometimes homo stupidos.

· You better believe it!

· This is the jet age; the propeller job isn’t going to get you far.

· Forgetting is partial remembering.

· When I read your tests, sometimes I think you are all in a creative writing class.
