I have this printed out at home and at work.

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, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; 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 fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

I was working on the book on home brewing I just came up with the other day, & was reminded of a notice mom had posted above the wall phone at home...
be sure brain is engaged before putting mouth in gear!!! Some trollers around here would do well to remember this one...:mug:

My parents had a poster hanging in the house that had that phrase on it.
 
Oh if that isn't an original quote. Every team has that quote about their rival. What's great about mine is you guys really do suck, literally too.

I have been a Bears fan my whole life. It has been a fairly painful ride. Just this year, I told someone that I was a Bears fan and he said "bandwagoner!" WTF? Then he pointed me to the fact that the Bears lead the league in highest regular season winning percentage, and the most total games won.

At the rate they are going this season, I don't expect those records to hold for long.
 
I have several, but I will share one that I heard in a song a while back that has stuck around (slightly modified from the original song):

"I'd rather you hate me for everything I am than have you love me for something that I'm not"

I REALLY REALLY REALLY like this!

Thanks for sharing.

Nice.... Ivan is a rather interesting man, is he not? FFDP was my now 20 yo daughter's first hard core concert at age 16. They are among my favorite modern American bands simply because of that attitude right there.


Sent from my BrewPhone using Home Brew, cuz I really didn't want to fire up the computer to post this.
 
He is an interesting guy. Comes from my original home state, too. I too like FFDP. Good crunchy stuff.
 
"Sometimes, optimism is the greatest form of courage"

From Ernest Shackleton, the great arctic explorer. I've always thought it says as much about the optimist as it does the cynic.
 
A few favorites:

Attributed to Mark Twain (and paraphrased by me): "Twenty years from now you wont regret the things you did half as much as the things you didn't".

Me: "Just another F'ing day in paradise!" Sometimes life in the tropics can be very frustrating.

Various versions & attributions: "Luck is when preparation & opportunity meet".

Movie (don't recall title): "Quitting while you are ahead is not the same as quitting"

And my good day, which is the vast majority off them, correlary:

Work hard, Play harder.

Just when you think you have made it idiot proof, they build you a better idiot.

Life is great! Enjoy it while you can.. If you are not, then do something about it!

After working in lots of difficult places, I have changed my outlook to be positive on life and removed all of my negative influences (to include certain individuals). They suck the life out of you and keep you down when you should be riding high.

Curtis I like the JAFID quote and can relate to it. We have a saying over here "only in the Philippines..." when we run across stupid jackassery...
 
Here is one I have been saying a LOT lately to my children.

With RULES come consequence.... With consequence come motivation!

True anywhere in "paradise" I think.

A friend in Belize has a great bumper sticker, very appropriate for Belize and many other places: "You Can't Make This Sh*t Up!"
 
I am an Electrician and here is two of my favorites:

-Stupid should hurt, but dumb shouldn't be a death sentence.
-Hardhats don't cure stupid.

The first was me the second is unknown.
 
From Socrates in the Apology:
I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good; but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing; whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do. In this trifling particular, then, I appear to be wiser than he, because I do not fancy I know what I do not know.

Ha, due to the large amounts of cash my folks wasted on my undergrad Philosophy degree, I actually recognize that one. I remember lots of other useless random knowledge from college too! ;-)

in place of idiot i like the one that goes
"Nothing is fool-proof to a sufficiently talented (or motivated) fool."
