Bits and Pieces Of Wisdom...........

Published on March 3, 2005 By Old_Crab In WinCustomize Talk

O.K. .......Got you alls attention. Now....just for hoots ...what do you think of starting a thread with little bits of wisdom? From authors, scientists, teachers, revered ones (holy seers and such) and of course ....er ummm hmmph...politicians.

Examples

"Logic is like the sword - those who appeal to it, shall perish by it."
- Samuel Butler

"It is always the secure who are humble."
-G.K. Chesterton

"We can forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light."
- Plato

"When you are arguing with a fool, make sure he isn't doing the same thing."
- Anonymous

I do hope everyone has some wisdom to share...........as always............Grand Raspberries to all and to all a good night or whatever.

If your brain was the size of a fleas' pocket watch, it would rattle like a b.b. in a box car.

It's better to let people think you're a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Ok, SD..Maybe the same thing can be said, that one is used by people not catching fish..but personally I find the simple act of fishing in itself quite refreshing, catching or not, I usually do pretty good though, I just do not seem to find the time to go often enough.

Heres whats known as the "Carpenters Creedo" a few one liners that as a general rule all carpenters follow..LoL..well most do anyway.

1.Always kill the nail.
2.If it doesn't fit, get a bigger hammer.
3.Be smarter than the board.
4.Stop to admire T&A.
5.Rain=nudy bar.
6.Building inspectors bad, tool girls good.
7.Unless the body part is completely severed,keep working.
8.Cant see it from my house.

Both good quotes, 00! I also enjoy being on the water. I start to shake when it has been too long. My boat is screaming for Spring (earlier this winter, it was only talking. Now it's screaming)
