Paul Harvey passed away this past weekend. The veteran newsman and radio broadcaster - who truly deserved the adjective "iconic" - was 90 years old, and up until recently, still on the air. His trademark voice, his pregnant pauses, the way he wove advertisements seamlessly into his newscast, all set him apart.
And today, he's in Heaven learning ... the rest of the story.

THE WIT AND WISDOM OF PAUL HARVEY
"In times like these, it helps to remember that there have always been times like these."
"Ever occur to you why some of us can be this much concerned with animals suffering? Because our government is not. And why not? Animals don't vote."
"Golf is a game in which you yell, 'Fore!', shoot six, and write down five."
"I've never seen a monument erected to a pessimist."
"Like what you do. If you don't like it, do something else."
"When your outgo exceeds your income, the upshot may be your downfall."
"Retiring is just practicing up to be dead. That doesn't take any practice."
"If there is a 50-50 chance that something can go wrong, then 9 times out of ten it will."
