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 Any wise words then are now far out of date. . Last edited by 911_Dude; 11-06-2013 at 06:47 AM.. |

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"..... |

Give me coffee to change the things I can, and wine to accept the things I can't.

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.

As the famous philosopher Byrne wrote on the vicissitudes of life:
Same as it ever was.

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.
