It still holds true that man is most uniquely human when he turns obstacles into opportunities. -- Eric Hoffer, (1902 - 1983)

More Robert A. Heinlein-isms;

"An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life."

"Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors... and miss."

"I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."

"Never insult anyone by accident."

While you are in front leading the herd, don't forget to look back once in a while to make sure they are still following you.
Letting the cat out of the bag is a lot easier than putting it back in.

I don't think this one has been posted: Ignorance (not knowing) can be cured--stupid is permanent!

Jerry I think that was a Mark Twain quote. He also said " beauty is only skin deep, but ugly is clear to the bone."

Don't worry about the mule going blind, just load the wagon and give me the line. W.C. Murphy, my old boss.
