Bump! bump! bump! did you ever ride a wump? we have a wump with just one hump. but, we know a man called mr. gump. mr gump has a seven hump wump. so... if you bump! bump! just jump on the hump on the wump of gump.

I am not pregnant, but i've had three kids, and there is a 'bump.' from now on, ladies, i will have a 'bump' and it will be my 'baby bump,' and let's just all settle in and get used to it. it's not going anywhere.

Here is edward bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind christopher robin. it is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it. and then he feels that perhaps there isn't.

Physics investigates the essential nature of the world, and biology describes a local bump. psychology, human psychology, describes a bump on the bump.

There comes that phase in life when, tired of losing, you decide to stop losing, then continue losing. then you decide to really stop losing, and continue losing. the losing goes on and on so long you begin to watch with curiosity, wondering how low you can go.

Managing risk is a key variable, frankly, all aspects of life, business is just one of them, and one of the things that most people do in terms of managing risk, that's actually bad thinking, is they think they can manage risk to zero. everything has some risk to it. you know, you drive your car down the street, a drunk driver may hit you. so what you're doing is you're actually trying to get to an acceptable level of risk.

What is truth? a difficult question; but i have solved it for myself by saying that it is what the "voice within" tells you. all that i can in true humility present to you is that truth is not to be found by anybody who has not got an abundant sense of humility. if you would swim on the bosom of the ocean of truth you must reduce yourself to zero.

I always feel that there are two choices for women. either be totally confident about your non-size-zero body and say, 'i love what i look like and this is who i am,' or be the person who is obsessed with diet and exercise and keeping toned. what feels more realistic to me is that some days i wake up and think i love how i look. on other days i say, 'if i had real self-control, i would be 10 pounds lighter.' that contradiction is, to me, what being a girl actually feels like.
