Hangover Wine Night

More From George Mikes

There is no night life in spain. they stay up late but they get up late. that is not night life. that is delaying the day. night life is when you get up with a hangover in the morning. night life is when everybody says what the hell and you do not remember who paid the bill. night life goes round and round and you look at the wall to make it stop. night life comes out of a bottle and goes into a jar. if you think how much are the drinks it is not night life.

Aim for the chopping block. if you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. aim past the wood, aim through the wood; aim for the chopping block.

I go on the road all the time, but i'm only performing for two hours a night, and then i'll do a meet-and-greet, and then i'll get a bite to eat, get drunk, pass out, wake up the next day, sleeping the next day, sleeping off the hangover, and then i'm in the next city.

Be willing to make decisions. that's the most important quality in a good leader. don't fall victim to what i call the 'ready-aim-aim-aim-aim syndrome'. you must be willing to fire.

The aims of these three groups are entirely irreconcilable. the aim of the high is to remain where they are. the aim of the middle is to change places with the high. the aim of the low, when they have an aim-for it is an abiding characteristic of the low that they are too much crushed by drudgery to be more than intermittently conscious of anything outside their daily lives -is to abolish all distinctions and create a society in which all men shall be equal.

So when somebody asks me to make a decision about a situation, i don't offer a solution, i ask a question: what are our options? give me the good, give me the bad, give me the pretty, give me the ugly, give me the impossible, give me the possible, give me the convenient, give me the inconvenient. give me the options. all i want are options. and once i have all the options before me, then i comfortably and confidently make my decision.

What one day gives us, another takes away from us. [what one day gives, another takes away from us.]

Life is a series of baby steps along the way and if you add up these tiny little steps you take toward your goal, whatever it is, whether it's giving up something, a terrible addiction or trying to work your way through an illness. when you total up those baby steps you'd be amazed over the course of 10 years, the strides you've taken.

I'll give president obama credit that he's dealing with big issues. i've seen administrations come to town and only deal with the little ones. you know, he's confronting a lot of major concerns here, and he's the only president we're going to have for the next four years, so we hope he's got some degree of success.

We think the administration can give us a lot of regulatory flexibility which will bring more insurers in the marketplace, which means more competition, more choice which drives down costs, so that discretion can work in a good way or it could work in a bad way.
