I thought of another important one in my life. My first wife used to say this, but I was too young and stupid to understand at the time;

"Be wrong, if that will make you right."

I don't think I really ever got that until I was in my 40's.

Don't let people drive you crazy when you know it's within walking distance.
No matter where you go, there you are.
Love is where you find it.
Women are like a fine wine. They improve with age. --- But too much age turns them sour.
When in danger, when in doubt, run in circles, scream & shout.
Don't cast pearls (of wisdom) before swine.
Look before you leap - but remember - He who hesitates is lost.
Know the difference between a rock you'd throw at a dog and one you'd take home as a treasure.
If the grasshoppers carried tommy guns, the birds wouldn't mess with them.
As the old adage says, "You don't have to have great vision, be fleet of foot, speak well, be dexterous, or think logically to be the boss. All you have to be is an AH."
And last, like the monkey said when he got his tail caught in the lawn mower, "It won't be long now."

My old school's motto:
Always be the best you can be!

From my mother:
If <insert friend's name here> jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?

One size does NOT fit all..........I'm just sayin'.........

A truly wise man never plays leapfrog with a unicorn.

Once upon a time we offered (p)books as gifts. My favourite inscription:

Sunt bona, sunt quaedam mediocra, sunt mala plura
Quae legis hic: aliter non fit, liber.
(Martial)
