Words to live by
« on: May 27, 2011, 08:20:42 PM »
My friend just emailed this to me, perhaps  you've seen them but if not enjoy.



Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on the list.

If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong. (just say no to bipartisanship)

We never really grow up; we only learn how to act in public.

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

The evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening', and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.

A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

I thought I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted pay checks. (personal philosphy of 47% of americans)

Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says "If an emergency, notify:" I put "DOCTOR".

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.

You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

Hospitality: making your guests feel like they're at home, even if you wish they were.

There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.

I always take life with a grain of salt, plus a slice of lemon, and a shot of tequila.

When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department usually uses water.

You're never too old to learn something stupid. (See Congress, U.S.)

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target. (Obama's strategy)

If you are supposed to learn from your mistakes, why do some people have more than one child?

My BIL sez it's because you're usually so sleep-deprived at that point, you just don't know no better.

Good list, LV.

Those are all signature-worthy.
We are so far past and beyond the “long train of abuses and usurpations” that the Colonists and Founders experienced and which necessitated the Revolutionary War that they aren’t even visible in the rear-view mirror.

Sounds like good advice!

We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.

Thanks for the laughs, Lady V.

My wife and I can attest to that.
