Pursuit of Happyness

wise words from the movie:

smart dad:
"...and it was at that time that I thought about Thomas Jefferson writing that Declaration of Independence. Him saying that we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I thought about how he knew to put the 'pursuit' in there... like no one can actually have happiness. We can only pursue it."


smart kid:
"Probably means there's a good chance. Possibly means we might or we might not."
"okay."
"So, what does probably mean?"
"It means we have a good chance."
"And what does possibly mean?"
"I know what it means! We're not going to go to the game."
