“A man has got to know his limits”
Dirty Harry

I believe this has more relevance that most people realise…especially while behind the wheel in a road rage situation.

It's actually "A man's got to know his limitations." - Magnum Force

Sorry, I'm the movie quote gestapo this morning. :smile:
 
Do not fall into the error of the artisan who boasts twenty years in his craft when he has but one year twenty times. (Trevanian)

Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts. (Einstein)

Who winces at the thorn dare not seek the rose.

Fate favors the prepared mind.

What I lack in intelligence I make up for in durability.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. -Ezekiel 25:17 among others

Growing up, my dad instilled a few in me....


"think before you speak"

"put brain in gear, before putting mouth in motion"

"children should be seen and not heard"

and the one that specifically applies to me.....

"not everything you think, the world needs to hear...."





also, some other good ones,

give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day..... teach a man to fish, and he'll sit in a boat all day and drink beer.

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence you ever tried....

As I lay in bed at night and look up on the stars, I wonder..... Where the hell is the ceiling?!?!?
 
There is no medicine to cure stupidity. -- Japanese Proverb

"There are only two sports: motor racing and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games." -- Ernest Hemmingway"

"I hope that no one will claim to know the final answers; no good comes from prophets. But even when acknowledging our falibility, we must nevertheless continue to think about these matters and give the advice to others that intellect and conscience dictate. And let God be our judge, as our grandparents used to say." -- Sakharvov, (head Russian H-bomb developer during the cold war)

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I've watched C-beams, glitter in the dark near Tannhauser Gate.
All those... moments will be lost... in time... like tears... in rain.
Time... to die."

- Roy Batty
 
from another designer:

fear breads mediocrity
It will tell you to ignore your instinct
It will strip you of any joy you get from doing this
It will make you like everyone else.
