Chinese proverb -Give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach him to fish, he eats for life.

" Laugh and the world, laughs with you. Cry, and you cry alone."

" Trust God, but keep your powder dry."

" Run and you'll ony die tired" - USMC sniper proverb
 
"The more you know, the less you need."

"Piss poor planning on your part doesn't constitute an emergency on mine."

"Experience is the best teacher, it is also the hardest." per my grandma

"It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark."

"If they have to have a commercial for it, you don't really need it. If you really needed it, you'd already have it or know where to get it."

All Bourbons' are Whiskey, but not all Whiskys' are Bourbons.
