Proverbs, let's hear em !

My favorite quote by Ghandi:
"Live like you are going to die tomorrow, Learn like you will live forever."
 
If we do not change our direction, we are likely to end up where we are heading - ancient proverb
 
Conan, what is best in life?

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!

A man's wealth can me measured by the number of things he can afford to leave alone.
and
Silence is golden, but sometimes it's just yellow.
and
He who fights and runs away... is just a diversion for the ambush you'll wind up in if you chase him.

I like that one. I may have to use it at some point!
 
I have several that I love but picked up a new one today, from a cartoon believe it or not. Took the kids to see Kung Foo Panda and came home with this one:

Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery, today is a gift; that's why they call it the present.

My favs;

Life is like a whetstone whether it polishes you up or grinds you down depends on what you are made of.

Non omnes qui habent citharam sunt citharoedi. ~ Not all those who own a musical instrument are musicians.----Varro

Braccae tuae aperiuntur - Your fly is open.

Quidquid Latine dictum sit, altum viditur - Whatever is said in Latin sounds profound.




And of course the source of my screen name and the philosophy of my relationship to guns, knives, and other technology.....


Steel isn't strong, boy, flesh is stronger!......What is steel compared to the hand that wields it
