"The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese" Unknown

I heard this years ago in a bar (and the guy that said it wasn't joking!) --- "You had better watch your mouth, I've climbed over bigger guys than you just to get into a fight"

"For a person of limited intelligence, you impress me"

"It's amazing how that guy could be so stupid and not be two people."

And my all time favorite, spoken to me by my dad, when I was about 10 years old: "If you think you're going to have the last word in any argument with me, you will, but I can guarantee it's going to be "Ow!".

That one took me a few tries to find out he was right.

It's not just romance with the 1911. It's excitement.

The Glock is the girl you know is going to be ready to go out on time, has a big ass, doesn't go psycho, and remembers birthdays and family members' names.

The 1911 is the smokin' six-foot blonde who may flip out and cuss and hit you in public if things don't go her way.

Attributed to George Washington: "Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action."

Attributed to Thomas Jefferson: "What country ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion[/u][/b][/u][/u]? And what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it's natural manure."

(DCR: How long has it been since the civil war? Hmmm.....not advocating anything - just noting the "century and a half" portion - we all smell the ill winds, and I fear and dread a self-fulfilling prophecy like this)

Attributed to Col. Samuel Colt: "Be not afraid of any man, no matter what his size...when danger threatens, call on me, and I will equalize."

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

(DCR: I always put "Attributed to" because there are too many falsely quoted, misquoted, and invented quotes floating around the internet - too many people take things out of context and twist them in an attempt to lend credibility to their ideas by claiming some famous or smart guy once said it. Dunno for sure if the quotes I threw out there are accurate - I just find them thought-provoking)

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

From my personal hero. "When a man is lying in a shell hole, if he just stays there all day, a German will get to him eventually. The hell with that idea. The hell with taking it. My men don't dig foxholes. I don't want them to. Foxholes only slow up an offensive. Keep moving. And don't give the enemy time to dig one either. We'll win this war, but we'll win it only by fighting and by showing the Germans that we've got more guts than they have; or ever will have. We're not going to just shoot the sons-of-bitches, we're going to rip out their living Goddamned guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun cocksuckers by the bushel-fucking-basket. War is a bloody, killing business. You've got to spill their blood, or they will spill yours. Rip them up the belly. Shoot them in the guts. When shells are hitting all around you and you wipe the dirt off your face and realize that instead of dirt it's the blood and guts of what once was your best friend beside you, you'll know what to do!" ---- General George Patton
