I just typed this to a friend and very much like the sentiment. It's my new philosophy, at least until the beer buzz wears off.

Remember whatever fruit life gives you, once it's fermented, it's fun.

At this moment, what words do you live by? They don't have to be your own but that is preferred.

If you ever find yourself crapping in a cardboard box, it's time to have a good, hard look at what you've done with your life.

"Ya can't win 'em all" works well right after someone points out one of my faults. Needles to say, gets a fair amount of wear and tear throughout the day.

"When it rains it pours" has been used to good effect as of late, too.

My grandfather and father were those classic laconic southern men who periodically dispense little bits of information that can Change Everything. I am not saying that their ideas were always new or particularly groundbreaking, but they always seemed to come at the right time.

here are some examples:

"If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging."

"Bravery is not the absence of fear... That's just being too stupid to know how much danger you're in. Bravery is overcoming the fear that you feel."

"I don't need to run faster than a bear, I just need to run faster than you."

"Sometimes the meal you eat will be the best thing that happens to you all day, so sit down and enjoy it if you can."

"It seemed like a good idea at the time."

None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free.

apologies for the crappy image, but, yeah, that's my philosophy, Marti

Never pass up the opportunity to say nothing.

The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

-Ernest Hemingway

you can't charge an emotional debt for things you give of your own free will.

unless you devote your life to doing what you want, you're only working on someone else's project.

anything you do will turn out good if you take as much time and as much care as you can afford.

the only faith that pays off is faith in yourself.

do it like you love it, or don't do it at all.

the only good advice is advice that's been asked for.

you set the rules of engagement with every encounter.

living is learning. learning is knowing. knowing is being. being is living.




you can credit all those to yours truly.
