One I made up years ago:

I don't know what I don't know and I won't know what I don't know until I know it.

talk about going "Full circle"! I love it!

I was taught this as a young boy, and been living by and saying it every since...over 30yrs now...

"To be early is to be on time...to be on time is to be late"

I heard the extended version of that:

To be early is to be on time. To be on time is to be late. And to be late is inexcusable.

 

[Jaybird]

My grandfather use to tell me when I was a real young boy. "if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right"

I am sure it came from long ago..

Cheers

In Latin, its Percussa Resurgo.

In ChumbaWumba its "I get knocked down but I get up again."

Worse things have happened to better people.

Something I heard in a management course years ago:
The Six "P's"
Piss
Poor
Planning
Prevents
Positive
Performance
Though piss and poor should be hyphenated; it really should be the 5 " P's." That always bothered me.

 

[ol-hazza]

My old Lt always said the 7 p's, amused me very much

 

[dryboroughbrewing]

I'll try anything once, twice if it didn't hurt too much the first time around.

That's poor plannig for you

 

[gratus fermentatio]

It can always be better.

So far, so good.

It's always something.

A man shouldn't have to kill himself to get ahead.

There are 3 things that are perpetually tied for 1st place in life: Food, sex and sleep. What you do next is determined by what you did last.

Fortunately, I keep all my feathers numbered for just such an occasion. (Stolen from Foghorn Leghorn)

 

[hunter_le five]

One of those "$#!t my dad says" type of quotes, which has been a running joke in my family for a while: "We don't not run over snakes." The quote itself isn't that humorous, as much as the bizarre solemnity with which my dad invokes the phrase (usually when someone sees a snake). What can I say, the man hates snakes.

I'm trying to talk the old bastard into getting it tattooed on him. My brothers and I all said we all would do it if he did. It think it should be inscribed on our coat of arms as well.

Also, "Maximum Fiasco"; i.e. what happens when my family tries to do something as a group. It's become kind of a mantra for us.

"Wherever you go, there you are..." --Buckaroo Bonzi

What I preach to all of our associates at the warehouse is, Take your time to do right the first time, or else you will have to take more time to do it again to fix it...

Along same line... you never have time to do it right the first time, but always find time to go back and fix it.

 

[Weezy]

I inherited two from my grandfather:

I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid.

and

Good enough for women we date. (this is especially effective coming from a man who's been married a long tome, as he was and me as well)

 

[hank]

That's NEARLY perfect
That's finer than a frogs hair
Don't do everything today... you wont have anything to do tomorrow
Ya gotta make hay while the sun shines
Strike when the irons hot
Don't have to many irons in the fire

People are down on things because they're not up on them.

If you're gonna run with the big dogs, you gotta learn to s**t in the tall grass

The way I was taught by pop was, " I may be ignorant, but I'm not stupid"!

People are down on things because they're not up on them.

If you're gonna run with the big dogs, you gotta learn to s**t in the tall grass

The way I heard this one was, " If you're gonna run with the big dogs, ya gotta learn to piss on the high weeds"!

 

[dkwolf]

I'm good at playing dumb. It's not that far of a stretch.

I try to live by the golden rule. "Treat others as you want to be treated"I don't always match that concept but for the most part it is my nature;who I am. I'm far from perfect

Flip a coin (roll dice or use random.org).
If you wish for a result before looking, then you have made that choice.
If you wait for the result, then it doesn't matter and is good enough.

So says Drom John, who became a homebrewer when random.org selected Continental Light Lager in Patrick Baker's "The New Brewers Handbook" as a random recipe in 2009.
This weekend random.org selected Poulet Sauté Stanley in Mark Ruhlman's "The Soul of a Chef."

Choosing to own "The New Brewers Handbook" and "The Soul of a Chef" were choices that mattered.
Choosing a random recipe weekly is a choice that matters.

Randomly selecting Continental Light Lager was great fortune.

2 - someone has to make all the mistakes, to make the rest of you look good !

"If there's a 50% chance of something being done right, then there's a 90% chance it was done wrong."

"It's always something."

 

[DrunkleJon]

Some that I have found myself saying quite a bit over the years.

"Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented, or motivated, fool"
and
"If it were easy, it wouldn't be worth doing"

 

[dammBrewer]

The only person you are better than is the person you were yesterday, strive to be that person.

and

When someone asks you how you're doing: Just fine, i'm upright and breathing...the rest is just a bonus for the day.

 

[BrotherBock]

If somethings not going right, I just remember that one day I'll be 90 and "none of this matters."
