Oh the thumb-sucker's thumb
May look wrinkled and wet
And withered, and white as the snow,
But the taste of a thumb
Is the sweetest taste yet
(As only we thumb-sucker's know).
I never go looking for a sucker. I look for a Champion and make a sucker of of him.
And for a sucker play a man gets sucker pay; for the paymaster is on the job and never losses the pay envelope that is coming to you.
Do you want to understand how to swim, or do you want to jump in and start swimming? Only people who are afraid of the water want to understand it. Other people jump in and get wet.
I sat up in bed. My T-shirt was soaking wet. My pillow was wet. My hair was wet. And my room was sticky and humid.
The Big Valbowski is kinda like a pool just jump right in and get wet!!
Even trees understand me! Good heavens, I lie under them, too, don't I? I'm just like a pile of leaves.
Look around the table. If you don't see a sucker, get up, because you're the sucker.
If you can't spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker.
It was a sucker punch. But you know who gets hit by sucker punches? Suckers.
If you want to be successful, you have to jump, there's no way around it. When you jump, I can assure you that your parachute will not open right away. But if you do not jump, your parachute will never open. If you're safe, you'll never soar!
Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker.
I'm a sucker for Wrigley, so I feel I'll probably be a sucker for Fenway, too.
But what I really want is to just swim around in a warm baby pool of these friends, jump in their dry leaf pile-to rub them all over myself, without words and clothes.
Heights are a problem for me. I'm not a brave flier and I'd never jump out of a plane or do a bungee jump.
When I was a kid, I would do stupid things on my bike. I'd jump any ramp, I'd jump over people, I'd jump over things - always crashing, never hurting myself badly but always wanting to take physical risks.
