Supposed native American proverb:
If you can't eat it, ride it, or f**k it it's not worth fighting for.
My Dad:
Why don't you just buy a car that was made to go fast in the first place!
The Bible:
Know the truth, and it will set you free.

scottmandue -- your dad is a Jenius!

I recently came up with my own corollary to that law (so it was advice I gave myself...) and kind of goes along with the "it's just as easy to fall in love with a rich girl..." advice:

"Why not buy a car that's already been restored? Moron."

That last little bit at the end is so I pay attention.

In honor of Johnny Carson's passing, some of his advice circa 1974:

"If you pull out your handkerchief, and you're going to blow your nose and clean your glasses, make sure you clean your glasses first."

This one fits the times I think...

"A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, much less die, nothing he holds in higher regard than his own personal safety is no man at all, but a miserable creature who has no chance of ever tasting life or being free unless made free and kept free by the sweat, tears and blood of men much better than himself."

Don't know who said it though...

From a former Hungarian "Freedom Fighter", tho I doubt many here even knows what that means: "Choose your beliefs carefully. You may have to die for them." BTW, I know where the best Hungarian restaurant in Oregon is located.
