My Dad lived in a small town in Montana. Many years ago he came to
Boise for a visit and I took him to see our new Mall. When we entered
He looked around and said: "Man you could sure stack a lot of hay in
here."

Genius has it's limits but there is no end to stupidity
Like turning on the TV and watching the Stupid Show
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day
That boy has a whole lot of quit in him
Getting married is like cutting down a big tree Uncle Fred said, Boy you just made a whole lotta work for yourself
Don't grow up like you're going to save the world, just grow up, my first boss : Chester, taught me a lot. " Carrying that hammer on your belt don't make you a carpenter, now start fetching me some blocks"

"Don't monkey with another monkey's monkey".
Most men will sometimes stumble over their own lie,....most just pick themselves up; dust off; and proceed; as though nothing happened.
Pap got so mad he kicked a rock;.. twerent good judgement; the way his brogan was leaking toes. (Tom Sawyer )

Dear Red, If you're reading this, you've gotten out. And if you've come this far, maybe you're willing to come a little further. You remember the name of the town, don't you? I could use a good man to help me get my project on wheels. I'll keep an eye out for you and the chessboard ready. Remember, Red. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. I will be hoping that this letter finds you, and finds you well. Your friend, Andy.

General George S Patton:
"A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week."
"May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't."
My favorite: "There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change. It is to use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wound, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time."
