If a job is worth doing, it is worth doing it right.
Plan your work and work your plan.
Take all you want but eat all you take. (told me it was on a sign in Navy Mess hall at Great Lakes)
If you can't say anything good about someone don't say anything at all.

I don't know from where this comes (perhaps me) but I do know it is one I like:

It is not the life we live which has made us poor, but rather it is the life we didn't.

But if you try sometime, you just might find,
