If I don’t, somebody else will.
If I say it first, that disarms them.”

I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want.

Become the kind of leader that people would follow voluntarily; even if you had no title or position.

I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I'm out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

A LITTLE COMMON SENSE FROM AN OLD COWBOY ...
Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.
Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.
Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
Words that soak into your ears are whispered… not yelled.
Meanness don’t jes’ happen overnight.
Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.
Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.
It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.
You cannot unsay a cruel word.
Every path has a few puddles.
When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
The best sermons are lived, not preached.
Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway.
Don’t judge folks by their relatives.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Live a good, honorable life… Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.
Don ‘t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t bothering you none.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain dance.
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.
Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin’.
Always drink upstream from the herd.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.
Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back in.
If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around..
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.
Most times, it just gets down to common sense.
~ Michael Traveler, author of Michael Traveler, author of MIRACLE ROAD
“When you are courting a nice girl
an hour seems like a second.
When you sit on a red-hot cinder
a second seems like an hour.
That’s relativity.”
~ Albert Einstein
The great man is he who does not lose his child's-heart.
Mencius
(never grow up! I've seen what it does to people...)
The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.

All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
Walt Disney
What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.
–Bob Dylan
Money, its not made round to go around.
It's made flat to stack.

“The foliage has been losing its freshness
through the month of March,
and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself
like the first gray hair amidst the locks of a beauty
who has seen one season too many.”
~ Oliver Wendell Holmes
I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.
Albert Einstein
All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy.
Spike Milligan
Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind.
Arguing with a fool proves there are two.
Doris M. Smith
Late nights and alcohol do not mix well with kids early rises...
The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Most miss opportunity
because it shows up in overalls
and looks a lot like work”
~ Benjamin Franklin
(1706-1790)
The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.

You cannot dream yourself into a character;
you must hammer and forge yourself one.
-Henry David Thoreau
Romantic love is one of the most cherished ideas of Western society — after all, don’t the majority of songs we hear, movies we watch, and books we read tell some kind of love story? Of course, romantic love isn’t the only kind of love there is — there’s also the type of love you have for your friends, love for God or nature, familial love, the love you express to the world at large, and even the love you have for yourself.

“The difference between stupidity and genius
is that genius has its limits.”
- Albert Einstein
Never be afraid to ask questions and make mistakes. Through these thing we learn. IMO
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
Audrey Hepburn
Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.

There's a fine line between pride and arrogance. We can be proud of many things, from our achievements, our family, heritage and nationality to the achievements of those we care about. Arrogance on the other hand is all about the self--it's utterly personal, born and bred by ego. Pride can be dignified whereas arrogance never is.

“He who is not contented
with what he has,
would not be contented
with what he would like to have.”
~ Socrates
(B.C. 469 – 399)
It is not work that kills men, it is worry.
Work is healthy; you can hardly put more on a man than he can bear.
But worry is rust upon the blade.
It is not movement that destroys the machinery, but friction.
-Henry Ward Beecher
Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.
Sam Ewing
A balding, white haired man from Naples , Florida , walked into a jewelry store this past Friday evening with a beautiful much younger gal at his side.
He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring.
The man said, 'No, I'd like to see something more special.'
At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. 'Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000 the jeweler said. The lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement. The old man seeing this said, 'We'll take it.''
The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the man stated, 'By check. I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds, and I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon.'
On Monday morning, the jeweler angrily phoned the old man and said: 'There's no money in that account.'
'I know,' said the old man,
'But let me tell you about MY GREAT WEEKEND!'
