"In a war of wits gentlemen, you are unarmed"
G. Gordon Liddy to the prison warden where he was incarcerated. A few months later he seripticiously gathered evidence, wire tapped the wardens phone (from prison!!) and procecuted the court case to get the warden removed from his job. He succeeded and the warden lost his job. Nobody ever screwed with Mr. Liddy again.

1/ If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
2/ Soap & water costs very little, manners cost you nothing. If you're clean and mannered you can go anywhere in life.
and then...
1/ Here is a test to find if your mission on earth is finished: If you are alive, it isn't.
2/ You teach best what you most need to learn.
3/ Argue for you limitations, and you'll get to keep them.
4/ The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.
5/ The best way to avoid responsibility is to say, 'I've got resonsibilities'.
6/ Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness... Listen to it carefully.
my letterhead favorite...
7/ Learning is finding out what you alreay know... Doing is demonstrating that you know it... Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you.
all from Richard Bach, Illusions.

"That place is so crowded, nobody goes there any more." Yogi Berra (of course)
"Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you." Satchel Paige
"I've got an IQ of 160 and people still treat me like dirt." Reggie Jackson
"One-sixty out of what? A thousand?" Mickey Rivers--upon overhearing Reggie's comment
Lots of Mickey Rivers' utterances are as indecipherable as Yogi Berra's, however, like Yogi's, there usually lurks some wisdom in there. One of my favorite Mickey Rivers' sayings is:
"I don't get upset over things I can control, because if I can control them there's no sense in getting upset. And I don't get upset over things I can't control, because if I can't control them there's no sense in getting upset."
That last one really does make sense!

Lord help me be the person my dog thinks I am.
btw, this was on the back of a chevy van...someone had painted out the van with dark green housepaint and a brush, only leaving the sil-o-wet sp?? of three men in suits, part of the logo that i had painted on the van some years previous. the wording was put in a white balloon over the 3 guys...had to take a pic of it...the sentiments have a timeless quality about them

my all time favorite qoute is this.. "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming.. Wow! What a Ride! "
I try to live my life that way

Bill, where does that one originate? Nikken magnetic company used that. Is it from a specific source? I love that one, and all these are great. Some I haven't heard before. (Aldous Huxley and Dwayne Dyer's are two of my favs!)
