    Don't forget to breathe.

    Never lend money to friends or family. If you can afford it, give it as a gift and if they pay it back, be pleasantly surprised.

    Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    In college I worked in a liquor store, a really cool older guy (that I found out later was a retired FBI agent) always took time to talk to me about my classes and how I was doing in general. He would always end every conversation with "It's all means to an end."

    My grand father was a WW2 hero and a wise man. His best advise after the first time I drove him somewhere with my brand new drivers license and I flipped the bird to a guy who didn't yield at a crossroad has served me well over the years: "Son: there is so many dead people who thought they had the right of way we should make it a standard epitaph... You want to pick yours now?"
