Proverbs, let's hear em !

(in response to looking beatup and run down) "It's not the years, It's the milage" - Indiana Jones from Raiders of the lost ark.

"Whether you think you can or whether you think you cannot...you're right" - Stewie Griffin

"Training is nothing...The will to act is everything" Raj al Ghoul

"like a midget at a urinal we need to stay on our toes" Leslie Nielson

A rancher friend of mine used to say, "You have three choices, Adapt, Migrate or Die."

Just thought of one my Dad you used to use:

"Don't let your mouth write checks that your a$$ can't cash"
 
My football coach in highschool used to say all the time "Luck happens when preperation meets opportunity"
 
Maybe not a proverb, but I like it:

-The knowledge that the administration of justice and fairness no longer matters, must move a man to reject all he has known and accepted and to risk becoming a pariah in the eyes of his peers; for to refuse that risk, to continue as he has is to die within himself.-

-Choose elegance over force-
 
Two that seem to stick with me are:

"I tell you this, no eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn."
- Jim Morrison

and

"This is a dark ride" (refering to life in general)
- John Larroquette
 
a couple that are rather similar, that i remembered because of the luck one posted before...

"luck favors the prepared"

"god helps those who help themself"

i don't necessarily believe in god, but the principle still stands, and i do my best to live by it every day...
 
Timeo hominnem unius libri

We have confused means with ends and have worshipped means

In the great debate between fishing and staying home with the wife, beer will win out in the end..
 
oh i just remembered another one...

"almost only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades"
