It's unfortunate what we find pleasing to the touch and pleasing to the eye is seldom the same.
One of the few quotes I could use from my favorite films, that didn't need to be edited. More soon to follow.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

"There is a very fine line between brave and stupid!"
Spoken by me after I got enough years and experience to begin to tell the difference (Sometime round about 1985). Maybe spoken by others, but I never heard anyone else say it. I began to use this statement during recruit academy firearms training from that point forward, as well as any other time I felt some one might accidentally benefit from hearing it. I give thanks that I lived long enough to know and see the difference!

May as well eat some rope and yank it through.

Larry stared at the campfire of burning bones. Yesterday, he had cut up a dead cottonwood for the fire, but every time he set a log on the coals it became a rib, long and pale, or a staring skull, or a thighbone that sputtered marrow from its broken ends. Niyol said it was a hanging tree, and spirits still clung to it. Larry accepted that. It wasn't the strangest thing he had seen in the last ten weeks.

I was at the DMV and got talking with the nice lady at the counter. I was registering a new car I got for my stepdaughter and she mentiond that she had just given one to one of her kids... albeit, quite a beater. They started bitchin about it and she told her, "Never thump a free melon". I laughed my arse off!
Some others from my ex father-in-law (great guy!):
That's a mighty tall hole!
An old boy friend of my ex's, used to show up at her house right around dinner time, most nights. They had a small house with a lot of kids and not much driveway. He would always park in the driveway and then dad would come home, mad as hell he didn't have a spot to park. He asked him, "Where do you want me to park it"? He answered, "At yer house"! He later said he was half way down the street, before he even realized what had happened. I knew him and then I started hanging around, never at dinner time! I used to tell my wife I only married her for her family... may even have been the truth.

Equality may be a right, but no power on earth can make it a fact.

Some hold onto science like a drunk holds on to a lamp post for support. Others use the illumination provided by the recorded science to move forward.

Grampa
Grampa was a fairly good finish carpenter in his day.
My Dad would occasionally dig him with: "For heavens sake Pete, no wonder you can't cut a straight line, you're using the wrong hand." Grampa Pete was a lefty.
Grampa said of himself, "I don't know what happened, I cut it off twice and it's still too short."
I use the second one myself.
See, I learned stuff.

OP
Once is not enough for this thread, so I am going to try to drag it back
up again. "Samuel Johnson was sitting on a park bench on warm summer
day sweating profusely. A young lady also sitting on the bench accused
him of smelling. He replied - no, you smell, I stink"
