Another favorite from the late, great John Wayne. "Life is hard. It's harder if you're stupid." Always chuckle to myself when I think of it. So true too.
 
JOHN 3:16,17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

........Even better news is that I have sample prototypes IN HAND of the new MACHAX and ALSO the Tweeners.......

"There is tremendous joy in bringing others happiness despite our own situation."

I've known this quote for more than a decade now and it still holds quite tightly to me as its a subtle reminder that our situation isn't necessarily the most important, or most difficult. It continues to help expand my perspective scope and reminds me to be thoughtful and friendly, no matter the day I'm having.

Nice contest btw.
 
I turned to my wife and asked her for a good qoute..."Kiss my butt" is what she said with a smile.
To me it means she's playful, but still very strong willed....
 
"I love you, but don't do anything stupid today."
-my girlfriend before I left for work one day
 
mighty generous of you but i'll pass on the prize...for quote, "if all else fails, happiness is just a liquor store away". yes, i was completely sober when i came up with that brilliant one :D
 
"I moaned because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet." This one has always stuck with me, for the simple fact of how many times we take stuff for granted.

That made me think of a even better one
"I moaned because I had no condom, until I met a man who had no penis." This one might stick with you also ;)
 
I think one of my favorite quotes is my mother's spin on an oldie. We've all heard "When all else fails, follow directions." Mom's version is "BEFORE all else fails, follow directions." :-) This one hits home because most of my epic failures have been from following Sinatra and doing it my way instead of they way it really works.
 
Here are a few from one of my favorite movies.

"Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake.
You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else."


"You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world."



"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need."


"In the world I see - you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison
on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway."
 
"Lord please keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth"

This one is important to me because I tend to open my mouth without thinking alot and the quote just holds true with a lot of meaning to me.
 
"Women start by blocking mens advances and they finish by blocking there retreat."

This one means a lot to me because 8 years ago I was wild and free and today I am married to the best woman on earth and have the 2 best daughters a father can ask for.
 
"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life." Having people like you isn't always important. If you have enemies for what you believe in, you have enemies for a good reason, not for any ill intent.
 
One of my favorites is from the classic Sci-Fi book Dune. It is the litany against fear. When it's dark. I'm nervous. Scared. Or otherwise anxious, this sometimes helps calm me down. It doesn't always work. But when it does, it does, and that is enough.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain
 
Heck man, count me in.

Carley: Supper’s ready! C’mon ya’ll. I’ve been slaving over this for hours.

Ricky: Dear Lord Baby Jesus, or as our brothers to the south call you, Jesús, we thank you so much for this bountiful harvest of Domino’s, KFC, and the always delicious Taco Bell. I just want to take time to say thank you for my family, my two beautiful, beautiful, handsome, striking sons, Walker and Texas Ranger, or T.R. as we call him, and of course, my red-hot smoking wife, Carley who is a stone-cold fox. Who if you were to rate her ass on a hundred, it would easily be a 94. Also wanna thank you for my best friend and teammate, Cal Naughton Jr. who’s got my back no matter what.

Cal: Shake and Bake.

Ricky: Dear Lord Baby Jesus, we also thank you for my wife’s father, Chip. We hope that you can use your Baby Jesus powers to heal him and his horrible leg. And it smells terrible and the dogs are always bothering with it. Dear tiny, infant Jesus, we….

Carley: Hey, you know, sweetie, Jesus did grow up. You don’t always have to call him “baby.” It’s a bit odd and off-putting to pray to a baby.

Ricky: Well, I like the Christmas Jesus best and I’m saying grace. When you say grace you can say it to grownup Jesus, or teenage Jesus, or bearded Jesus or whoever you want.

Carley: You know what I want? I want you to do this grace good so that God will let us win tomorrow.

Ricky: Dear tiny Jesus, in your golden-fleece diapers, with your tiny, little, fat, balled-up fists….

Chip: He was a man! He had a beard!

Ricky: Look, I like the baby version the best, do you hear me? I win the races and I get the money.

Carley: Ricky, finish the damn grace.

Cal: I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo T shirt, cause it says, like, “I wanna be formal, but I’m here to party, too.” Cause I like to party, so I like my Jesus to party.

Walker: I like to picture Jesus as a ninja fighting off evil samurai.

Cal: I like to think of Jesus, like, with giant eagle’s wings. And singing lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd, with, like, a angel band. And I’m in the front row, and I’m hammered drunk.

Carley: Hey Cal, why don’t you just shut up?

Cal: Yes, ma’am.

Ricky: Okay. Dear 8 pound, 6 ounce newborn infant Jesus, don’t even know a word yet, just a little infant and so cuddly, but still omnipotent, we just thank you for all the races I’ve won and the 21.2 million dollars – woo! (Woo!) – love that money, that I have accrued over this past season. Also, due to a binding endorsement contract that stipulates I mention Powerade at each grace, I just want to say that Powerade is delicious and it cools you off on a hot summer day. And we look forward to Powerade’s release of Mystic Mountain Blueberry. Thank you for all your power and your grace, dear baby God. Amen.
