Words of Wisdom Thread
 

Anyone have any Words of Wisdom that they have learned along the way? Something learned from a elder, a stranger, or The Oracle (aka internet)?

This one I like that I think is a quote from Ben Franklin:

"Plan life like you will live forever, pray like you will die tomorrow."

And this little nugget I picked up somewhere that is very appropriate for the "I read it on the internet" age:

"Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance."

From a Swedish song text:

"I know what people may be thinking,
but I am only happy when I am drinking"

Not much wisdom, other than that its unfortunately true for many people.

Party pooper.

Plus that thread's last post was over 5 years ago. Any wise words then are now far out of date.

Was at my endodontist the other day getting a root canal done. Could not speak due to my mouth being full of dental junk.

The docs assistant says to the endodontist "my dentist says that I should get all my fillings changed to white ones". The endodontist says change dentists. If I could have said something I would have said "if it's not broken don't fix it".....

As a SAN Storage admin, when I request additional enterprise storage for our datacenter, and they question my projected percent growth, I respond with:
- Better to have and not need, than to need, and not have.

Other words of wisdom:
- Treat every spoon as if it is loaded

- Stay on the throttle until you see Jesus, then tap the brakes G-E-N-T-L-Y.

- If you don't have time right now to do it right, you will eventually waste time doing it twice.

Look at the pretty bird...

As the famous philosopher Byrne wrote on the vicissitudes of life:

Same as it ever was.

I heard it as

If you don't have time to do it right, how do you have time to do it twice?

Never pee into the wind.

You don't know what you don't know.

Buy once, cry once.

Or, stated more bombastically:

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory.
