Lucy:
Life is a mystery, Charlie Brown... Do you know the answer?
Charlie Brown:
Be kind, don’t smoke, be prompt, smile a lot, eat sensibly, avoid cavities and mark your ballot carefully... Avoid too much sun, send overseas packages early, love all creatures above and below, insure your belongings and try to keep the ball low...
Lucy:
Hold real still because I’m going to hit you a very sharp blow on the nose!

on typewriter:
It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly a shot rang out. A door slammed. The maid screamed. Suddenly a pirate ship appeared on the horizon.
While millions of people were starving, the king lived in luxury. Meanwhile, on a small farm in Kansas, a boy was growing up.
End of Part I
Part II
A light snow was falling, and the little girl with the tattered shawl had not sold a violet all day.

At that very moment, a young intern at City Hospital was making an important discovery.

In all this world there is nothing more inspiring than the sight of someone who has just been taken off the hook!

Linus:
I know why you’re so anxious for Charlie Brown to be President .. I’m smart! I’ve got it all figured out! I’m smart! You can’t fool me! You just want to be First Woman!
Lucy:
The term is “First Lady.”
Linus:
I’m never quite so stupid as when I’m being smart!

Charlie Brown:
I would never think of stealing cookies from a store!
Linus:
No, neither would I!
Charlie Brown:
But from home...that’s different..
Linus:
Oh, yes, it’s perfectly all right to steal them from your mother at home.
Snoopy:
That’s what is known as a double standard of morality!

Lucy:
Well, look here! A big yellow butterfly! It’s unusual to see one this time of year unless, of course, he flew up from Brazil... I’ll bet that’s it! They do that sometimes, you know... They fly up from Brazil, and they...
Linus:
This is no butterfly... This is a potato chip!
Lucy:
Well, I’ll be! So it is! I wonder how a potato chip got all the way up here from Brazil?

Charlie Brown:
... and besides, never forget that beauty is only skin deep!
Lucy:
I deny that! My beauty is not only on the surface, it goes down deep ... layer after layer after layer!
Yes, sir! I have very thick beauty!

Linus:
How can a person just decide what he’s going to think? Doesn’t he have to think first, and then try to discover what it is that he’s thought?
You’re looking at me with blank eyes!

boy:
I’ve got this whole Santa Claus bit licked, Charlie Brown! If there is a Santa Claus, he’s going to be too nice not to bring me anything for Christmas no matter how I act...right? Right!
And if there isn’t any Santa Claus, then I haven’t really lost anything! Right?
Charlie Brown:
Wrong! But I don’t know where!

Linus:
You want me to be a spy?
Charlie Brown:
Not a spy ... a scout! A baseball scout! I’ll admit it’s a dangerous job, but it has to be done!
Now, I suppose the first question that comes to your mind is, “Why does this job have to be done?”
Linus:
No, the first question that comes to my mind is, “Why ME?”

Charlie Brown:
Another ball game lost!! Good grief! I get tired of losing... Everything I do, I lose!
Lucy:
Look at it this way, Charlie Brown.. We learn more from losing than we do from winning.
Charlie Brown:
That makes me the smartest person in the world!!

Linus:
My dad and I got into a big theological argument last night... He was looking at my report card, and wondering why I was the only one of my class who didn’t get an ‘A’ in spelling...
I said, “Isn’t it wonderful how each of us on this earth was created just a little bit different?”
That’s when we got into the theological argument...

Sally writes:
This is my report on rain. Rain is water which does not come out of faucets.
If it were not for rain, we would not get wet walking to school and get a sore throat and stay home which is not a bad idea.
Rain was the inspiration for that immortal poem,
“Rain, rain, go away.
Come again some other day.”
After a storm, the rain goes down the drain which is where I sometimes feel my education is also going.
End of report

Sally:
I’m practicing my brackets...
Did you know brackets are always used in pairs? If you ever see a bracket by itself you can be sure it’s up to no good!
