Wisdom is not using it in a fruit salad.

Teddy Roosevelt quote. "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Here's a quote from my father: "Never trust a skinny cook!"
That is great news! I will have to search for him again!
No matter where you go, there you are.
A blank piece of paper has more information than what's in his brain.
She doesn't have two thoughts to rub together in her head.
And, yes, Gary Larson is a genius. I read The Far Side (the old cartoons) every morning, along with the Daily Dilbert cartoon.

He suffers from delusions of adequacy.
The sketchier you are, the better you'll look in artists' renderings.

My wife and I were discussing the major problems of the world, I spoke for 10 minutes while she politely listened. She spoke for ten minutes while I politely listened. Then she said I'm through talking about this. It took her another 39 minutes to shutup.
God so hated man He gave him woman.

My late FIL, in response to folks talking up regionwide zoning door-to-door after listening to them carefully for an hour. They asked, "Well, Mr. West; what do you think about regional zoning?" My FIL spit some tobacco juice into a can, and said, "I can tell you this - you sons-a-(banned) come plannin' and zonin' around here, you'd better wear a steel jacket."

Years ago we were doing an addition on a guys home and one morning we got there early to get ready for the concrete truck coming and the "lovely" missus was still there and did NOT have her work war paint on her face yet. We were standing next to the homeowner as she walked by and my partner and I just kind of looked at her then back at her husband and he quietly whispered "Without her make up, she can be ugly enough to make a freight train take a dirt road!"
