jeremyk Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 My stepdad always tells me - Remember son, when you assume something you make an ASS out of U and ME. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Nedule Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 My dad told me in my young teen years, "if you ever get divorced just give her the house". Not sure why he told me that a young age but it stuck, luckily haven't had to use the advice … yet. The funny thing is he told my brother at a young age, "if you ever do drugs I'm going to send you to China for a year" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Grahamsant Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I also like "it's better to regret the things you've done than regret never having done them at all"
joeypots Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Just a few I love. "The problem with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat." "Money is like manure. Leave it in a big pile and it stinks, spread it around and every thing grows." "Live and let live." "Leave it better than you found it." And just because I caught the last bit of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly last week: "There are two kinds of people in the world. Those that dig and those that have guns. You dig" 1

sheppsea Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Some good ones here I've always liked:Everytime you face a so called crisis or disaster think to yourself, "will this matter in five years?"

ptrthgr8 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I've got a few: "Luck is the intersection of opportunity and preparedness." "Buy once, cry once." (Another you-get-what-you-pay-for notion.) "What would Stevie Y. do?" "Life's too short to drink cheap booze." "Buy the gun, not the story." (You have no idea how many of Hitler's personally owned Lugers are out there.) "You can't polish a ****." Cheers, ~ Greg ~ 1
joeypots Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Don't forget what Mr Natural said. "Life is like a s**t sandwich. The more bread you have, the less s**t you eat." I had to.
lipher Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 "No good turn goes unpunished' "Measure twice, cut once"...........then use the result for kindling... "It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt" Damn I thought I was going to contribute something until you posted #2. I'll throw my one liner...

Laxman Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 My Dad always used to tell me before I went out on a Saturday night "nothing good ever happens after midnight". That held true most of the time. Don't judge someone till you have walked a mile in their shoes. **** in **** out. - work, friendships, relationships, what you put in you get out. Don't judge a book by its cover- with woman that has got me quite a few times. Never under estimate the predictability of stupidity -movie ******. Fool me once shame you fool me twice shame on me. Good is the enemy of Great.
perkinke Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 "No one is completely useless, you can always be an example of what not to do." "With rights comes responsibility" "Those who speak to you of fear seek to control you, those who speak to you of hope seek to liberate you." "S**t happens"
Duxnutz Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Some aviation ones for you that translate into life: "Truly superior pilots are those who use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills." "It's better to arrive a few minutes late in this life than a few minutes early in the next!" "The 5 P's; Practise Prevents Piss Poor Performance" 1

GingerNinja Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 asked my army instructor on the first say of boot camp 'got any advice' 'Don't f&%k up!' he replied solid advice. 3
el.barbudo Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 If it aint broke, nothing wrong with trying to improve it. And you catch more flies with manure than either honey or vinegar. So where does that leave us? I agree with manure being better than honey or vinegar, but I've also wondered why we'd want flies in the first place... 1
