Learn Life's Lessons in the Land of "Oz"

One of the most frequently televised movies returns to TBS this weekend. "The Wizard of Oz" is one of those classic films that can teach us many of life's basic lessons, not to mention some that aren't quite as fundamental.
If that sounds silly, keep in mind that L. Frank Baum's name for the land of Oz in his book came from the labels on his file cabinet. But through watching "The Wizard of Oz," even for the 100th time, we learn essential information like:
1. Life isn't all black and white - just the first 20 minutes.
2. Anyone who doesn't appreciate a good dog has to be an evil witch.
3. A good dog can still get you into a lot of trouble, especially with a witch.
4. Always look for a place where there isn't any trouble.
5. Never trust a talking scarecrow for directions.
6. If you get lost, just skip and sing until you find your way again.
7. Note to self: Don't listen to trees that talk. Those apples hurt!
8. There is a place where skies are blue and the dreams you dare to dream come true. There is such a place - I just haven't found it yet. That darned rainbow just keeps moving.
9. If you're having a dream about your house in flight and a wicked witch flies by your window on her broom, WAKE UP! Bad things are about to happen.
10. A house landing on top of you is never a healthy situation.
11. Wicked witches get cranky when you drop a house on their sister's heads.
12. Nobody knows how to party like little people, especially when they're celebrating the death of a tyrannical witch.
13. If you get a good pair of shoes, protect them at all costs.
14. Whenever life gets too happy, you can always count on a wicked witch to appear out of nowhere and spoil the fun.
15. Not all witches are old and ugly.
16. There is a place where lions, tigers and bears can co-exist.
17. Never nap in a field of poppies.
18. The perfect working hours: Get up at 12, start to work at 1, take a break and at 2, you're done.
19. Any message written in the sky by a broom-riding witch can't be good. Couldn't she have just sent an E-mail or tweet?
20. Getting our deepest wishes in life always come with a price, like having to kill a wicked witch. That's why you should check out what's behind the curtain first.
21. Dodge the flying monkeys. They make great minions.
22. Always keep a bucket of water handy.
23. There really is no place like home - until you're in the path of the next tornado.
