Sayings which you find profound

[DooBi]

You have your whole life to make your first album. You only have a year to make each one after that.

 

[ICWestfan]

God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason.

Use them in that proportion.

Use your head for something other than hanging your ears on.

 

[SeaPA]

"You should never say bad things about the dead, only good. She is dead. Good."

 

[RushProbst]

Comparison/jealousy/envy is the thief of joy.

 

[Brian_Fantana]

It isn't about the size of the wave, it is about the motion in the ocean. Or is that what i keep telling myself, I forget

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

Better to be thought of as a fool than to speak and prove it.

A weed to some is a beautiful flower to others.

 

[billanole]

I have two.

The first is choose the pain you want or the pain will choose you. I heard this in the context of financial advice in making a tough choice with no great options, but it applies to everything. It really had me thinking about health as I stare down 50 this summer. I can choose the pain of working out and such, or some type of pain will choose me eventually down the road. You can apply this to almost any short term/long term choice you have to make, whether it is dealing with the environment, health, or finances.

The other is there are long days and fast years. There are many long days with kids, especially when they are very young, but damn, the years go fast.

Not everything old is valuable and not everything valuable is old.

 

[ConvenientParking]

Never break more than one law at once.

 

[TarponSpringsNole]

“Wherever you go—-there you are”.

[kcnole63]

Timing is everything.

 

[NDallasRuss]

The biggest one for me really is: There but for the grace of God go I.

The line between being a "have" and a "have not" is really thin. One or two things break the other way, and I could easily be the guy begging for spare change and sleeping on a bench. I always try to remain thankful that things have turned out like they have, and never take it for granted.

 

[TunzaHawk]

The more you own, the more it owns you. Second homes, boats, RVs are some examples.

 

[artradley]

“In the poker game of life, women are the rake.”

 

[artradley]

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

I have used that at work a lot.

 

[Ray Kinsella]

Don't wish; decide.

Don't compare your inside to everyone else's outside.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Wear a condom and have as much sex as possible before 23.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Why did the chicken cross the road?............................Because f*** Wisconsin, that's why.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Why did the chicken cross the road?............................Because f*** Wisconsin, that's why.

Amen

 

[Tenacious E]

I will add another one of my favorites in the Des Moines skywalk:

 

[DogBoyRy]

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

Don’t dip your pen in company ink.

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

Some good ones.
Cuban refined it to perfection is the enemy of profit.
Gretzky was asked if he was a gunner and said “over 99% of the shots i don’t take don’t go in”.
I’ll add :
Never do business with a guy wearing more jewelry than your wife.
When speaking to a group be brilliant and brief, if you can’t be very brilliant
be very brief.
Everybody hates a know it all.
The smartest guy in the room never has to talk about it.

Those who mind don’t matter, and those that matter don’t mind.

In Heaven there is no beer. That's why we drink it here.

[General Tso]

The more you own, the more it owns you. Second homes, boats, RVs are some examples.

Except when the boat enables you to hammer the walleyes

 

[cfbfan23]

Confucius:

Many man smoke,
but Fu Manchu

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

Except when the boat enables you to hammer the walleyes

Is that what the kids are callin' it these days?

 

[General Tso]

Is that what the kids are callin' it these days?

If by kids, you mean mid 40s!

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

If by kids, you mean mid 40s!

Unquestionably. You should feel mighty proud of still being able to "hammer the walleye" at your age!

 

[BNIBoiler]

It is so quiet in here that you can hear a mouse piss on cotton.
