I am making a collection for some girls who are going off to college. Anyone got any good ones? Something they can look back at when they feel like giving up.

Playtime is essential.

"No matter how good you get at something, there's always someone else out there that does it better and with less effort"

"Can't win, don't try"

"There's no such thing as a stupid question. Just a lot of stupid people that ask questions"

Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Windshield is much, much better.

I once felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes. Then I met a man with no feet. So I took his shoes...he didn't need 'em.

Winners never quit and quitters never win.

Life is like a box of chocolates-
Just when you think you got it figured out...BAM!...you get one filled with coconut!

When you are old and feeble you will spend a lot of time thinking, "I wish I had....".
Do all you can to eliminate the things you can finish that thought with.

If it doesn't move, get a bigger hammer. If it breaks, its needed replaced anyway.

If it doesn't move and should, use WD-40.
If it moves and shouldn't, use duck tape.

Never look back, someone may be catching you.

"If I had to choose between humans and dogs, I would choose a dog. You want to teach someone what love is, you give them a dog." Valentine Camurati


Never, ever, under any circumstances give up!

Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.

Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

"The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want."

"You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."

A friend once told me, “When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, Trust Him fully, because one of two things will happen: either He will catch you when you fall or He will teach you how to fly.

Sometimes God calms the storm. Sometimes he lets the storm rage and calms His child. -unknown -that's one of my all-time favorite quotes

I'd have to watch the memorial video again - but a guy named John Choate said something like - "If you are dead set (Could have been Very Passionate) on getting a job done - people will usually get out of your way and let you do it."

If you always do what you've done, you'll always be where you are now.

It's rare that someone will grow up without some grief in their lives - It is your choice about what you do with your life now

Human beings are like tea bags - you don't get to know them until they have been through hot water

The moon is not bothered by the baying of wolves

Life is a quarry in which we mine our character

You are as strong as the challenges you face

You may not be able to control your emotions, but you can control your actions

Misery is to be overcome, not marinated in

Growth takes time

There are no shortcuts to anyplace worth going

Whether you believe you can, or believe you can't, you're absolutely right

If you don't take care of your body, where will you live?

Change occurs when the pain of not changing gets more unbearable than the fear of changing

Don't "should" on yourself or anybody else

Failing is not failure

Excuses do NOT prevent consequences

Progress, not perfection

Drink the water and spit out the mud

Worms to butterflies

Worry is like a rocking chair, it is something to do, but it gets you nowhere

Negative habits will atrophy from disuse

The person who stands still saying "it can't be done" gets passed by someone else who is doing "it"

You wouldn't worry about what people think of you if you knew how seldom they do

The first thing to do when you find yourself in a hole is to stop digging

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away

Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice: It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.” William Jennings Bryan

The bubbling brook would lose its song if you removed the rocks.

Is this the hill you want to die on?

Bitterness is the poison that you drink in the hopes that someone else will die

“Nothing is ever lost by courtesy. It is the cheapest of pleasures, costs nothing, and conveys much.” – Erastus Wiman

What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy
ones? -- Monday.

The version i know of that:
If you always do what you've done,
You will always get what you always Got

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)
My Life ROCKS!
How's yours doing?
