Tim Taylor quotes from Home Improvement

I'm so glad I didn't let anybody talk me out of marrying you.

Tim

Who tried to talk you out of marrying me?

Oh, nobody, just...[Takes a bite of cake] My mother, my father, my sisters, the minister, the postman, some guy down at the post office... oh, and Sheila! She told me "Don't marry him, I know a loser when I see one!"

Tim

Good thing she was wrong.

Who said she was wrong?

Tim

Jill met my girlfriend.

Wilson

Well, I can't say that I approve of that.

Tim

No, my old high-school girlfriend.

Wilson

Oh.

Tim

She's kind of annoyed about something I didn't do years ago.

Wilson

A sin of omission.

Tim

It wasn't that bad. When I broke up with this girl, I never called to tell her.

Wilson

So, you lied to her?

Tim

No.

Wilson

Well, according to Robert Louis Stevenson, you did. He said, "The cruelest lies are often told in silence."

Tim

Hm. But didn't Calvin Coolidge say nothing he never said ever did him any harm?

Wilson

Very good. Thomas Mann once said, "A harmful truth is better than a useful lie."

Tim

Not bad. Wait, wait, wait! Turkish proverbs was, "He who tells the truth will be chased out of nine villages."

Wilson

Excellent. But I believe the final word would be Heywood Broun. "For truth there is no deadline."

Tim

Oh, that's three to two. You beat me, Wilson.
