Words Of Wisdom

[326MOD10]

My son's Grandfather on his Mom's side always said a few things that made me chuckle.

One was "When you work with the masses you work with the ***es".

And the other was "I always expect the worse that way I am never disappointed".

My Dad was a good man but didn't share a lot of his thoughts unless angry and then you didn't wait around to hear them any longer than you had to. The one thing I will always remember him telling me when I was in high school and started to date was:

"We ain't taking in no borders".

That pretty much summed up my birds and bees conversation.

God is very good at helping them that help themselves.

Money is not everything, unless you don't have any.

It's not the things I did that I regret, but the things that I did not do.

I will take luck over skill any day.

The harder that I work, the luckier that I get.

If I thought that I was going to live this long, I would have taken much better care of myself!
