Another little wisecracker from this comic book was Charlie’s best friend Linus. Now Linus was a real smart kid – check out some of his best lines:
– “There is no heavier burden than a great potential.”
– “You know, Charlie Brown, they say we learn more from losing than from winning.”
– “This blanket is a necessity. It keeps me from cracking up. It may be regarded as a spiritual tourniquet. Without it, I’d be nothing, a ship without a rudder.”
– “Charlie Brown, you’re the only person I know who can take a wonderful season like Christmas and turn it into a problem. Maybe Lucy’s right. Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you’re the Charlie Browniest.”
– “Well, I think that the purpose of going to school is to get good grades so then you can go on to high school; and the purpose is to study hard so you can get good grades so you can go to college; and the purpose of going to college is so you can get good grades so you can go on to graduate school; and the purpose of that is to work hard and get good grades so we can get a job and be successful so that we can get married and have kids so we can send them to grammar school to get good grades so they can go to high school to get good grades so they can go to college and work hard…”
– “I love mankind – it’s people I can’t stand!”
– “Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life!”

I love the one where Charlie and Linus are smiling and Lucy asked them WHY are you smiling, and they say “We are smiling because we have no idea what is going on!”
