Dance like it hurts, love like you need money, work when people are watching.

There is no short-cut to anywhere worth going.
Success has a way of following the same people around.
If you aren't in debt, you ain't doing much.
Don't chit where you sleep.
You only live once.
Who cares what everyone else thinks of you, it's what you think about you that is most important.
God first, then family, then good friends, then work.
People don't care how much you know, but they will quickly learn how much you care.
Don't let people screw you.

“There are three kinds of men. The ones that learn by readin’. The few who learn by observation.
The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.”

-- Will Rogers

Your life starts at point A and ends at point B. Kick maximum a$$.
-- Ted Nugent

If you always do what you have always done, then you will always be what you have always been.

A government that robs Peter to pay Paul, can always count on the support of Paul.

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a 'well-armed' lamb contesting the vote!"--Benjamin Franklin

"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
-- Winston Churchill

I like this one.....

From my dad:

"Never waste an opportunity to go to the bathroom"

"That's better than snuff and ain't half as dusty."

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." - John 14:6

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:37-39

"You'll never see a hearse pulling a U-Haul."

when theres a 50% chance of getting it right theres a 90% probability you will get it wrong.

From my father.


You have freedom of choice but not of consequence.

Marriage is the number 1 cause of divorce.

Relationships = the (bleeping) you get for the (bleeping) you got.


And most recently - Government types talking gun control, semi auto weapons and mass school shootings never seem to mention Kent State.

Never trust a fart and never waste a hard-on.

Don't go through life trying to find reasons not to like the people that you meet.

If you think you can't ,,,,,you're right.

Take one or give one, but NEVER back down from a fight. Words from my old man

No matter how pretty she is there is some poor s.o.b. sick of her s#@%
Greg "The Hammer" Williams

Napolean, like anyone can even know that.
Kip Napolean (Napolean Dynamite)

Keep on doing' what you're doing', and you'll keep on gettin' what you're gettin'!!

Which way did they go George?

"Front Toward Enemy" - On the front of a Claymore mine

"You get what you tolerate" Mike Ditka

1. Can't fix stupid. 2. When you start cussing you lost the argument.3.You can wish in one hand and sh#t in the other and see which one fills up first.

On Marriage... from Rev Tom Shipp @ LoversLane Methodist, Dallas December 1967
"Marriage is a Negotiated Truce...Everyday".
"Some days you get 90% and some days you get 10% ...learn to accept it or be prepared for a divorce"
Marriage is more about trust & companionship than sex since sex gets old and boring after a while".

On Life ... from my mother based on her & my fathers military life in WW II.
Never Volunteer.
If you don't have to stand up sit down, if you don't have to sit down lay down, if you don't have to stay awake take a nap, if you can go to the bathroom go whether you need to or not, if you can get something to eat, eat as often as possible...as you may never ever get the chance again in this world. My father was killed in an air to air collision leading a Squadron of P-51's.
Never go out of your way to intentionaly hurt someone else to get ahead...'cause you'll meet the same folks you screwed over on your way up again on your way down.
Never let the AH's of your life see you sweat over anything.

On Life from my grandfather...always take the first swing if you can't talk your way out of the fight and hit the other guy as hard as you can on the first punch and never fight "fair"...you only fight to win 'cause the other guy might accidentally kill you.

From Bob Rutledge, original owner McClellands Guns Dallas, when the shop was only open part time in the beginning.
"Non Bastardus Carborundum" or "Don't let the B's grind you down"

From the old retired gentleman upstairs at the first apartment in Jacksonville Florida in July 1972 in my Corporate Gypsy days.
On Death - " Make as many friends as you can since we know that None of Us get out of this World Alive and you might need a Cheering Section in Heaven to get In".
On Success - "Stick your fist in a bucket of water, take it out and look to see how big a hole you left".

On success - from the wealthy old retiring sales rep from Atlanta 1974 on my 1st big job promotion for being 330% over Quota & #1 in the nation during a recruiting interview to offer me a part ownership in his Company that I should have taken.
"Determine how much money you need to live to satisfy your lifestyle ... everything past that is only a way to keep score with and may not be worth the cost of losing your family".
"Your customers respect and concern for your continued success is your Resume...I already know who you are 'cause your customers have told me.

There's lots more if I can remember them.
Cheers Ya'll
Ron

I won't engage in a battle of the wits with you. I never fight an unarmed man.

Boy, there's somethings you just don't tell your mother.

Don't break your kids' will, just bend it.

When you drink, DRINK. When you hunt, HUNT.

No one ever got killed accidently with a loaded gun.

You can beat someone to death with your tongue.

Son, its better to be pissed off than pissed on.

Do or do not, there is no try.

its better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe
