Bits and Pieces Of Wisdom...........
Thursday, March 3, 2005 by Old_Crab | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
O.K. .......Got you alls attention. Now....just for hoots ...what do you think of starting a thread with little bits of wisdom? From authors, scientists, teachers, revered ones (holy seers and such) and of course ....er ummm hmmph...politicians.
Examples
"Logic is like the sword - those who appeal to it, shall perish by it."
- Samuel Butler
"It is always the secure who are humble."
-G.K. Chesterton
"We can forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light."
- Plato
"When you are arguing with a fool, make sure he isn't doing the same thing."
- Anonymous
I do hope everyone has some wisdom to share...........as always............Grand Raspberries to all and to all a good night or whatever.

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

Ok, SD..Maybe the same thing can be said, that one is used by people not catching fish..but personally I find the simple act of fishing in itself quite refreshing, catching or not, I usually do pretty good though, I just do not seem to find the time to go often enough.
Heres whats known as the "Carpenters Creedo" a few one liners that as a general rule all carpenters follow..LoL..well most do anyway.
1.Always kill the nail.
2.If it doesn't fit, get a bigger hammer.
3.Be smarter than the board.
4.Stop to admire T&A.
5.Rain=nudy bar.
6.Building inspectors bad, tool girls good.
7.Unless the body part is completely severed,keep working.
8.Cant see it from my house.
Zero.

Both good quotes, 00! I also enjoy being on the water. I start to shake when it has been too long. My boat is screaming for Spring (earlier this winter, it was only talking. Now it's screaming)

Zero, where do you go.....I regularly fish the Mosquito Lagoon between New Smyrna Beach and Titusville Florida. In fact I'll be there is about 22 hours (5:00am EST) Occasionally I'll catch a ride offshore with a friend.
Here's a few I can see from my seat..
Here lives a Great Fisherman with the catch of his life!
Early to bed
Easrly to rise
Fish all day
Make up lies
Eat, Sleep, Fish
<-Gone ^ Fishin-<

We long to be heroes,yet we tend to be humans.
Illusion is the Achillis heel of logic.
Dream to hope of a future and live in present to conquer your dream.
Don't become the picture of anything,cause you are the essence of world.
...all by me in some small poems of mine.

Thumbs up Old Crab....you must be made of some old kind of wisdom.
"The worst way to miss someone is to be seated by his/her side and know you'll never have him/her" - Gabriel Garcia Marces....And that causes a tremendous feeling of loniliness and self-discomfort...been there...still there...and it hurts.
