It's not what you drive, it's what drives you.
It's not what's on you, it's what's in you.
It's not where you come from, it's where you're going.
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.

( it works on so many levels )
it's beter to light a candle than curse the darkness....
( note.. for safety.. be sure to have an approved candle , proper safety , a smothering blanket , and someone who has lit candle's before... it's dangerous to light candle without the proper preperation .. check articles on proper candles and lighting proceedures )
on second thought maybe it's easier to curse the darkness..... "Fu*&ing Darkness!!!!"

Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall
He gets the most of it may not get the best of it
Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow you may die
Come faeries, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame.

And any chicken talkin' shit, lemme tell ya somthin',
Hold a lighter to your balls, and you'll see what's comin"

"Never insult seven men when all yer packin' is a six-shooter."
"Be civil to all, social with many, familiar with few, friend to one, enemy to none."
"Tell me, and I may forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I will understand."
And the best advice I was ever given:
"Never give advice."
Dance like it hurts; Love like you need money; Work like someone is watching.
Never criticize someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. That way, when you DO criticize them, you are a mile away, and you have their shoes.
