· This is the jet age...did your plane get lost?

· I'm Coach Fabian, and you're my ballplayers.

· Half sheet of paper!  It would be wise to have these already prepared.

· You should know where you’ve been; where you are, and where you are going.

· Have a bit of order in your life.

· Everyone should take a Logic class, even though you can still be logical without a class.

· Our eyes are open but we do not see; our ears open but we do not hear.

· Dr. Fabian here pointing these things out.  Do it and you’ll be well.

· ‘I don’t know.’ Yes you do!  You just don’t know how to express it.

· Might makes right.

· If I know your hometown, I will stop and get a free meal.

· Just because you knew it yesterday doesn’t mean you’ll know it tomorrow.

· Don’t mix apples and oranges.

· Hurry, time is fleeting…

· Give your full attention to the person whom you are speaking with, or arguing with for that matter.

· Don’t buy a car just on looks.  Take a look under the hood and see if there is an engine in there; there are a lot of shysters around.

· No one can take issue without hearing first.

· You’re all over the ballpark—hit the nail on the head!

· You’re still safe…

· Paste it in the memory, you might need it later.

· Liars figure but figures don’t lie.

· You have to get your act together!

· Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

· Difficult?  No, it’s like eating pie à la mode.

· The light in my head by your name didn’t go off today.  It keeps me up at night; I can use it as a nightlight—when I go to the bathroom.

· There is hesitation in your voice!  If you are hesitant about something, be dogmatic about it or your opponent will know!
