Yes, I recall Ted definitely wrote one; unfortunately, I can't recall
which. However, I believe it was in the 2nd or 3rd year, when they were
giving writers credits at the end of the show, and his name appeared.

I seem to recall it was a good episode, though...

Life is like quotations. Sometimes, it makes you laugh. 
Sometimes, it makes you cry. Most of the time, you don't get it.


Life is not an object; don't be objective with your life.

Death is still alive; in fact it's immortal.


Death is incurable. Soul is inscrutable. Life is insurable.

Food is enhanced by MSG.
Life is enhanced by Philosophy.
Death is enhanced by Theology.

You will be honored by flower-throwing people; your story will be
published in newspapers. But you won't be able to stand up to receive
all those.

He may have said it, but not first. I still remember the first pithy quote

"Scientia ipsa potesta est"   -Seneca

(Knowledge is power itself)
