Ten quotations from The Frictionary

Here are 10 quotations taken from The Frictionary:

338. It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. (Kehlog Albran)

This quotation is taken from a little book published in 1973 that was titled "The Profit". It was a spoof of "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran and the author(s) used the pseudonym Kehlog Albran.
