Life is tough, it's even harder when your stupid- John Wayne quote from one of his movies (forget which one now) I also liked the one where his son was being disrespectful so Big Jake says : "Well since your Mother didn't teach you to respect your elders, its time I taught you to respect your betters" and immediately knocks his son (real life son and also playing his son in the movie) off his horse and into a mud hole.

Very sage. I shall remember that one. Here's another one that I like:

"It's always easy to divorce another man's wife".

And another:

"Never rest assured that the man at the wheel knows what he's doing or where he's going."

From an Arabian proverb:

A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one's heart,
chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it,
keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness
blow the rest away.

framed and on the wall in my office. As it was with my father in his bedroom since I was
a little kid. Told me early on that my Dad was a mean sucker at times, but deep down, he had love within.
And he understood the breath of kindness.

My own personal saying, as I attribute the above to my father, is:

Every day is an opportunity for kindness.
