I learned to approach racing like a game of billiards. If you bash the ball too hard, you get nowhere. As you handle the cue properly, you drive with more finesse.

''The lesson I want you to learn is it doesn't matter what you look like. You could be tall or short, or fat, or thin, ugly, or handsome like your father.
Or you could be black or yellow or white. It doesn't matter.
What does matter is the size of your heart, and strength of your character.''

-Herman Munster, to his son Eddie

Over half a century ago, after listening to a man who was quite loud, my father said to me,

"If you are trying to see which barrel has something in it, the empty one sounds the loudest."

I confess to not understanding at the time why he said that, but as the years went on, it has proven to be true.

I try to remember this every time I am tempted to gossip

OK Shaun, I suppose you’re going to claim Lincoln didn’t say that.

He did but it was in a Dr. Who episode. :D

emphasis is mine

I do believe in simplicity. It is astonishing as well as sad, how many trivial affairs even the wisest thinks he must attend to in a day; how singular an affair he thinks he must omit. When the mathematician would solve a difficult problem, he first frees the equation of all incumbrances, and reduces it to its simplest terms. So simplify the problem of life, distinguish the necessary and the real. Probe the earth to see where your main roots run.
