Stan Kenton

When you get to the top, don’t forget to send the elevator down for the next guy.

Everyone faces the challenge of finding meaning to their suffering.

I don’t know how to drive.

Scream in silence. Dance in stillness.

Life is managed; it is not cured.

Always pack your uniform on top.

The only thing you can give a man without hurting him is an opportunity.

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.

If you wish to clear away the clouds of thought, simply keep your mind in the present.

Every loss of life is terrible.

There is a great difference between worry and concern. A worried person sees a problem, and a concerned person solves a problem.

Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.

You philosophers are lucky men. You write on paper and paper is patient. Unfortunate Empress that I am, I write on the susceptible skins of living beings.

If your neighbor has a completely different view on abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, all of those things, you still are both Americans. Neither one of you is necessarily more patriotic than the other. Neither loves their country any more than the other one does.

There is no truth. There is only perception.

Little difficulties are made to swell until they fill our horizon while the real big blessings of life are dwindled down to nothing.
