What is your favorite motto??

My grandpa used to say: The trouble with the world today is......too many people ridin' on rubber and fartin' through silk..........Seems to still hold true to this day.......
 
After over hearing my explanation to my Dad for getting into a fight a very old friend (about 80 yrs old) of his walked up to me and put his arm around my shoulder and said 'If you know your right, stand your ground plant your feet and face the crowd. It won't hurt to have a fine working .44 in your right hand either.'

I sent you to school and all you learned was how to eat the books.

Look at her mother and you will be looking at her in 10 or so years.

Popular '70s college motto was:
The difference between a fox and a dog is a six pack at closing time.

If I want it done slow and right I'll get you to do it. If I want it done fast and dirty I'll get your brother to do it. Now you know why he won't be working on my truck.

'You can't hurt them if you can't hit them.' L.B. Puller Sr.

When you get home with her I'll probably still be here cleaning this gun.

About a half bubble off of plum.
Don't know where I'm going but there's no use in being late.

Sometimes too much to drink isn't enough

I try to adhere to The Silver Rule...
*Do unto others as they have done onto you.*
 
The first rule of holes:

When you know you are in a hole, quit digging.
 
I'd rather be the problem than have the problem.

Once I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken.

..and a couple from my mother..

For any design, pick 2: Quick, Good, Cheap.
