Golden rules to live by

[Industrial Toys]

One good deed done is worth more than a thousand good intentions never carried out.

We almost always know what the right thing to do is. Do the right thing, repeat - life will work out for you.

Feeling gratitude is a gift we give ourselves. Not expressing gratitude to others is like wrapping a present and never giving it.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

That's a good one. I downloaded that picture.

You want that done fast or good? Pick one.

Add cheap to that equation and then you can pick two - that's the way it's phrased around here FWIW.

You discover who your friends are when it comes to roofing and moving... Murph

And in the end

The love you take

Is equal to the love you make.

Lennon or McCarthy?

I gave my kids some rules for life -- not exactly golden but highly practical.

1. Never change a tire on the side of the road. The tire is already bad so roll with it to a safe spot.
2. Never trust a secretary or school administrator to deliver a paper or document. They get dozens of them and generally don't care.
3. Never lend you wallet, your watch, or your wife. My high school gym teacher once sat us down for rules of life and this was one of the -- still not sure what he meant.
4. Walk away from a broken bottle fight or a fight with guy who really knows karate -- no one will ever call you a chicken [also from my gym teacher].
5. Never lie to your doctor or your accountant.
6. If someone starts to show their gun collection at a party, just leave. That's how tragic accidents happen.
7. Don't try to be friends with friends or family -- set the rules, establish a business/working relationship, and enforce it. Then you can be friends.
8. Use the right tool for the job.

Never wrestle with a pig. All you get is muddy and the pig enjoys it.

When in prison, never brag about who you killed.

This is quit accurate: Why I dislike people who abuse the "F" word - YouTube

The 5 second rule is moot when you have a 3 second dog...!

Lennon or McCarthy?

I believe that would be McCartney
