Never discuss politics and religion with people is the one piece of advice my parents gave me that has always stuck with me. Best thing they ever taught me, really. I follow it to the letter...mostly...except when under cover of anonymity on the internet.

"If you ever need a helping hand, there's one at the end of your arm."
Regarding discussing politics and religion:
1. Don't discus religion because most people don't understand it well enough to discuss it intelligently
2. Don't discuss politics because the two sides are so polarized today.

Dad said . . .
''Never start a fight, but don't run from one either.''
''Never start a fight, but don't run from one either.''
Among the many things my Dad told me, one sticks out the most when I think back.
Dad used to tell me "there will always be another one where that one came from" and he was right.

My Dad told me that if I ever got arrested - stay there!
It will be safer for me than home.
He also told me that if a person screws with you, you better have the gaul to show them how it's done correctly.

Also, it's always good to know when to get out of Dodge, but it's even better to know HOW to get out of Dodge.

Hear say has no strength but here say you does.
When a person tells you I am only here to help you then you better shut up till you have a lawyer present because that same person could very quickly tell you what you say can and will be used "against" you in a court of law.
My dad said if you see trouble coming then get out of there.
Don't ever bet more than you can afford to lose.

An old Hells Angel once told me, as I was transporting him in for sentencing, "Three Can Keep A Secret If Two Are Dead".
Morbid, but in his case, true. He got heavy time on a RICO conviction via an informant.
For me, personally, the old saying "Don't Pee In The Wind" has proven useful.

All very true, Larry. I will add to your third saying by saying that spitting in the wind requires great care also! You should never do either one "into" the wind!!
The best way to learn a subject is to teach it to someone else.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Do ya remember when............
Chevy had a 2 speed automatic transmission called the Powerglide?
Low and high gear only. Had one in a 55 Chevy. Tough transmissions.
Vehicles had "oil bath" breathers.
Shotgun shells could be bought "by the piece" at the local hdwe. store.
Drive in movies only cost a dollar a head to get in......And that awful PIC insect repeller that would leave your car smelling like a smoldering garbage dump for days.
Clutches/V8's/bench seats and NO AC. .......No way to sit close to a sweetie today with the "cockpits " cars have today.
House doors never locked except when we all went to bed. No LIGHT POLLUTION from street lights........It was dark. And I liked it that way.
Still do.
Ringer washing machines......Open tub/fill with a water hose. And that big open roller ringer on the side.......Can you imagine OSHA on that today.
Drinking out of a well bucket or water hose.
Carrying your .22 rifle 96% of the places you went?
Bicycles had one gear sprocket and wide tires that were good for dirt roads and sand beds.
More Musings
Gun free zones are magnets for killers.
Tonto and The Lone Ranger surrounded by 113 hostile Indians. Lone Ranger says to Tonto. "Looks like we are in deep POO!" Tonto says "What you mean "we" paleface?
The road to HELLO is paved with good intensions.
I did not attend his funeral. But I did send a letter saying I approved of it.
Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight.
Don't think or judge. Just listen.
Happiness is not the absence of problems. Its the ability to deal with them.
Have no fear of perfection......You'll never reach it.
The worst part of success is finding someone who is happy for you.
Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.
If the road is easy you're likely going the wrong way.
Nothing ever happens like you imagine it will.
Just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean it isn't so.
It's better to offer no excuse than a bad one.
Do what it right...Not what is easy.....Nor what is popular.
Illegal aliens have always been a problem in North America......Ask any Indian.
There are no facts.....Just interpretations.
Tell the truth or someone will tell it for you.
A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on it's shoes...........(Think about this one)
You only live once...But if you do it right.....Once is enough.
When you are up to your neck in manure.....Keep your mouth shut.
He's not the sharpest crayon in the box.
I'd trade buildings and asphalt for swamps and mud any day.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure(from my mother)
People are usually happiest at home.
What did George Washington say when they crossed the Delaware? "Get in the boat men".
He's all broth and no beans.
This ain't my first rodeo......
In wine there is wisdom
In beer there is strength
In water there is bacteria
Always forgive your enemies....It annoys them so much.
Don't cry because its over. smile because it happened.
Almost everything in the world is temporary......Think about that!
ALL the stuff we own has to go at some point in time.
BEAUTY is only a "light switch" away.
I'm alone.....But not lonely.

Never pass up an opportunity to tell your family that you love them.
A couple from 40-55 years back that I refer to even today:
Senior Drill Sgt Uptegrafft told us we were going to do something, and a big groan went up from the platoon.
Uptegrafft in his big Alabama baritone:
Men, you don't have to like it; you just have to do it! ....Laeff faze, for'd harch, dubble tahhhhm....
And "The hardest thing about work is thinking about doing it. Let's get started."

Have patience. Quite often it's the last key that opens the door.
And when you lose something, if you find it, it's always
found in the last place you look.
