It takes many nails to build a crib but only one screw to fill it.

If it smells like fish do what you wish, if it smells like cologne leave it alone.
 
It is better to have a gun and not need it, then to need one and not have it.

Zombies dont die, you have to shoot them in the damn Head!

Practice your shooting, sweat and bleed in training, ammo and training time is cheap, your team/family lives are worth it.

If it shoots/attacks at you shot it, if its worth shooting shot it again ammo is cheap.


Have a plan, a back up plan, a back up to the back up, and be ready to improvise because no plan survives first contact with the enemy.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Not doing something will get you shot, doing something will often get you shot.

If you plan is working too well, you might be heading for an ambush.

Always keep your gas tank half full, you never know when you will have to run.

Always keep money and ammo on hand, they will always be worth more then you paid for them, and will be worth there weight in gold at times.

If you have the choice Die Standing up for something, its better then living on your knees.

If you don’t stand up for Anything, you will fall for everything.

Do what is right, no matter what it cost you.

Cheap tools are never worth the price you pay for them!

While Quality is great, often Quantity has a Quality all its own.

Remember that this was a Nation of Riflemen, and that keep China and Russia out of the US in the 60’s and 70s. I still don’t understand why we are giving that up.

Never live east of the Mississippi, when the war comes everything east of it will burn, and never live where you cant get/grown your own food and cant find your own water.

When seconds count the police are only minutes away.

The police are under no obligation to protect you from crime, just to investigate one.

Its better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.

Be willing to be violent enough soon enough, half ass action will just get you killed.

Bring friends to a fight, mean friends, with guns, hell rifles, and if you can get it Air Support!

Never pick a fight with a man with just one gun, he might know how to use it.

Finish every fight you start, or they will get you.

There's always free cheese in a mousetrap.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

If you think education is expensive try being stupid for a while.

If you think health care is expensive wait until its free.


(note from the movie ‘The Way Of The Gun’(great movie btw))
The only thing you can guess about a broken down old man is that he is a survivor.

We don't want your forgiveness. We won't make excuses. We're not gonna blame you, even if you are an accessory... But we will not except your natural order. We didn't come for absolution, we didn't ask to be redeemed. But isn't how it is, every ******* time... Your prayers are always answered, in the order they're received.
 
Whenever making a deal remember that there is usually one person getting taken advantage of. If you don't know who that person is, it's you.
 
If you're going to be a bear, might as well be a grizzly

Don't let your mouth get you into what your ass can't cover
 
I had a math teacher who would mark a math question wrong if you didn't show the math.

It took years for that lesson to sink in.
 
I grew up on a farm/ranch and my dad got a copy of the Hereford News every month. On the back they always asked all the old cowboys questions. One month they asked a group of em what thier best advice for the younger generation was.

One old boy said: "Forty years ago I gave up on Women, and I've been happy ever since".

My dad cut it out and stuck it on the fridge.

And here are a few of my dad's little nuggets of knowledge.

When he found out I knocked up my girlfriend: "guess you found out that thing is for more than peeing, didn't you?!"

When we were trying to hobble a heifer to get her to allow her calf to feed "kick the old b***h in the leg so she'll move it". This one got me kicked right back in the leg, and found me laying in a pile of steaming cow s**t. To which he found great pleasure in.
 
Usually the most annoying, look-at-me! person you know has really ****ty self-esteem (and I find the most constructive thing to do is just ignore them).

Don't flip out about things that happen - just deal with them as best you can, and try to have fun in life.

You have to like yourself and be happy with you if you want to be happy with someone else. And only boring people are bored. ;)
 
The best advice I ever received wa s alesson I was tought while on one of my magic mushroom experiments:

It never ends, it never begins, it's just is.

So you learned this from The Troggs or looking at you age more likely Wet Wet Wet.
 
From my dad (which I did not follow, much to my dismay) "If you absolutely, positively, have to join the military, go to college first and become an officer. Whatever you do, don't go in enlisted."

Guns work on the condom principle. It's always better to have one and not need it than to need one and not have it.

From a Sepcial Forces buddy: Unless you're in bed, in a pool, or in the shower, you should always, always, always have a knife on you. Even then you should have one within arms reach.
 
Keep uncle Lester away from the dog.


...someone didn't listen...

Not an exact quote but an old man (my boss) once told me to pick something and be the best at it and you will always have work, people will come to you for it.

Kind of a take on the "jack of all trades, master of none" saying. But I think that is true but probably more if you are self employed. When you work for someone you are done when they screw up and then you need to hopefully find someone with the same need for you.
