"If you didn't learn anything today, you weren't paying attention" - Me 🙂

BTW
Don't eat yellow snow ([b]Somebody who was old before[/b] Bear Grylls [b]was even born[/b]....)
FTFY

Another fallacy of the young with no grasp on history - just like those who think that Steps wrote 'Tragedy' (Or even ever performed it live)

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story
(BRANDON 'CHOPPER' READ)

I'd hate to advocate drugs, alcohol or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
(HUNTER S THOMPSON)

How could I be at peace with the world.. when I wasn't even at peace with myself..?!
(ANON)

QUESTION AUTHORITY
(ancient wisdom)

It has been my experience that those who have no vices have very few virtues.
(ABRAHAM LINCOLN)

Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn.
(CHARLIE PARKER)

Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth.
(MARK TWAIN)

Everything in moderation, especially moderation
(OSCAR WILDE)

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” [b]Theodore Roosevelt[/b]

“Don't just stand there, do something”. [b]Dick Dastardly[/b]

Two stand out for me:

If somebody else can do it, why not me as well?

And;

That which does not kill me only makes me strongerer.

Good one from a mate of mine:- "all choices you have made in your life have got you to the point where you are now".

Measure twice, cut once.

Think first, act second.

I wish I'd listened to Mr Waits when he said "Never trust a man in a blue trench coat". I didn't and got shafted.

"noli illegitemi te carborundum" is always good advice as is "aut dure aut domum'"* which was mentioned upthread.

* a motto's no good if it's not in an obscure, dead language. Which reminds of another good one: "latin's an ancient language, as dead as dead can be. It killed the ancient Romans and now it's killing me"

But my mantra is "It's only impossible if you stop and think about it"

The man who never made a mistake never made anything

Don't complain about the results you didn't get with the work you didn't do.

Treat others in a way you expect to be treated yourself.
Don't ask others to do something that you are not prepared to do yourself.
If you feel cocky, you probably have a hole in your pocket.

'Hills are only as steep as you want them to be'

(From a free sticker with MBUK 20 years ago)

I have since discovered that the saying is absolute bollix.

This too shall pass.

Common sense isn't.

If you can't learn to do somethig well, learn to enjoy doing it badly.

The two biggest secrets to success:
1. Don't reveal all your secrets.
2.

it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission
And to go hand-in-hand with that: "Might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb."
