• Better living through behaviorism.
• Nothing in moderation; if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing to excess.
• The best predictor of future behavior, is past behavior.
• If it feels too good, watch out, because it's liable to bite you in the butt, when you're not   looking.
• Aversive control is your friend.
• So's your Jewish mother
• Preschool fatalism suggests that we need intensive early intervention for all kids on     all issues and that we will have to be satisfied with life-time performance management   after preschool.
•   Hedonistic stoicism means that many seemingly stoic tasks, like daily exercise or sticking to a healthy diet, really have subtle hedonistic reinforcement contingencies hidden in them that can maintain that behavior, once you get into it.
•  Humanistic behaviorism suggests that our best use of behavior analysis is to achieve humanistic goals and that we can best achieve humanistic goals by using behavior analysis.
•  Thank God It's Monday
•  It’s awesome to floss ‘em.
•  If your gums bleed when you floss, you need to floss even more and see your dentist tomorrow.
