Wow! I could come up with hundreds, but to distill it down to a few:
"The best things in life aren't things."--Art Buchwald
"If you think can or you think you can't, you are right."--Henry Ford
"No one teaches riding quite as well as a horse."--C.S. Lewis
"Blessed is he who expects nothing for he shall never be disappointed."--Alexander Pope
"Contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth." --Blaise Pascal
"'Tis with our judgments as our watches, none Go just alike, yet each believes his own." --Alexander Pope
"All models are wrong, but some are useful" --George E.P. Box
"Progress doesn't come from early risers - progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things." --Robert Heinlein
"Friends don't let friends lift deeps" Jim Fischer
"...no man's back is unbreakable and even beekeepers grow older. When full, a mere shallow super is heavy, weighing forty pounds or more. Deep supers, when filled, are ponderous beyond practical limit."--Richard Taylor
"we are constantly sacrificing the joys of the present on the altar of the future"--C.S. Lewis
"We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful."--C.S. Lewis
"The Master does nothing,
yet he leaves nothing undone.
The ordinary man is always doing things,
yet many more are left to be done." --Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Mine for dealing with kids is "Say what you mean & mean what you say!" Another is that "it's hard to put up with the imperfections in others when you are so perfect yourself!" J

"All models are wrong, but some are useful" --George E.P. Box There for a minute I thought it said, "All models are young, and most are sexy." One of my favorites is, "Always put of until tomorrow what you don't want to do today." "A Job well done is a job done right." The chef's version of this (For Isaac) is, "A meal well cooked is burnt." My Dad always taught me to "Never start a fight but always finish one." My greatgrandfather used to say, "a swift kick in the groin is nature's equalizer." He was a hard fisted, beer drinking, knife fighting black rock miner from PA. |

"Nay, it [this constitution of government] must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in the people, which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its movements. It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?
– Justice Joseph Story, "Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States," Volume II, Chapter XIII: Mode of Passing Laws, Sections 900-901, pp. 364 (1833)
