"Life is more manageable when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party."
As Peter Burke identifies in the episode Need to Know, this quote is my Jimmy Buffett. The complete quote by Buffett is: "Searching is half the fun: life is much more manageable when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party."

"There are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant."
Again, Peter Burke correctly identifies the source of this quote in Need to Know. Ralph Waldo Emerson included the phrase in his book Lectures and Biographical Sketches in 1883.

"...it's goodbye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies."
Mozzie quotes Jack Kerouac, a writer and the father of the Beat movement, in By the Book. The quote is from On the Road, a novel was based on the spontaneous road trips he and his friends took. ==="Truth is the first chapter in the book of wisdom."=== Mozzie says this while going through Neal's wine collection in Unfinished Business. It is slight misquote of Thomas Jefferson. The original came from a letter Jefferson wrote in 1819 to Nathaniel Macon. He says "[B]ut I am sure they will have more worldly wisdom, and enough, I hope, to know that honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom."
