wondering from the rest of you gentlemen, what cigar (or life in general) quotes have shaped your views?

"it has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues"  abraham lincoln

[HarveyBoulevard]

Don't worry/stress about things you have no control over.  If you have some control over it...do something about it. 

 

Accept the situation you are in...then figure out how to fix it. You already know how you got there so...stop moaning about it and don't do it again. 

 

People eventually get what's coming to them.  It's not my job to hand out consequences for poor life choices but eventually they are allocated to those that deserve them.

Never Try To Teach  A Pig To Whistle....It Makes You Look Foolish , And Annoys The Pig.

Excerpt from a speech by Teddy Roosevelt:    

                                                                    Commonly referred to as: "The man in the Arena

 

 It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

   The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!”

Sylvester Stallone, Rocky Balboa

For me, nobody tops WC Fields for quotes:

"Whilst traveling, we lost our corkscrew. Had to live on food and water for several days."

On his aversion to drinking water: "Never touch the stuff—very unhealthy. Fish f*ck in it."
