Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

Yesterday was history
Tommorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift
Thats why they call it "The Present".

Bartlett's quotations has some real beaut's but one of my favorites is attributed to Emerson:

"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds."

Here's another of my favs:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

If you die in an elevator, be sure to push the Up button.

I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to quit going to those places.

The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on.

There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.
