Success and failure. We think of them as opposites, but they are really not. They are companions. The hero and the sidekick. – Laurence Shames

Women marry men hoping they will change, men marry women hoping they will not;  so each is inevitably disappointed. – Albert Einstein

His wisdom coupled with his sense of humor is what appealed him to me. He was a very funny man.

DragonFly, I first saw him on TV perhaps the early Sixties...just so talented, great comedian...then these last several years, actually after his death, I began to listen again, and that wonderful wisdom coming through more and more as he aged! His talent was a gift to us...

To inspire the real estate sales people not to be bashful and hold back, their employer Marabel Sears had this in her real estate office where my mom worked in the '60s:
"He who whispers in the well
about the wares he has to sell
will never make as many dollars
as he who climbs the tree and hollers!"

Clever guy that Lazarus.

He's the same man who said, "If you visit a planet where everybody shaves their head and paints it blue the first thing you need to do is buy a paint pot and a razor."
