It is what you learn after you know it all that counts.

Gee, Kat --

Knowing it all is a hard place to recognize. Probably why most folks find it hard to know what counts.

I used to know it all.But I think I've forgotten most of it. Does this mean that I gotta learn it all over again? I mean all the words to The Chipmunk Song and my first ex-wifes shoe size and EVERYTHING?

AAAAAAAAUGH

Troll

Hey, Amos! I'se jist quoting an' ole' "What Grandma Always Said" reprint that my mom sent me years ago, which I unearthed in a recent desk escavation!

There ya go, Troll, just keep mining, you'll strike gold fer sure! My dad does, every time he remembers something else and he is almost 83! You're just a spring chicken!

Here's the rest of them:

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

Most of us can keep a secret. It's the people we tell it to who can't.

Kindness is the oil that takes the friction out of life.

There are times when silence has the loudest voice.

When God measures a person, He puts the tape around his heart, not his head.

People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do.

By teh time we realize our parents were right, we have children who think we're wrong.

Actions speak louder than words
God helps those who help themselves
Women have short feet so they can be nearer the sink
Don't do today what you can do tomorrow
Never say never
I wish I was 20 again but knowing what I knew now

But don't you think those memorable year's when you knew you had all the answers were necessary armour against those unknown bastards who are out to take advantage of the young; talking corporate employers and the like, not poedowhatsists.

"Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking" Goethe said that. I'll drink to it.

McGrath you nailed it there, with some help from the great Goethe. Always look before you think, I sez. If more people looked and counted before thinking and talking there's be a lot more accurate thoughts and talk in the world, in my (un-quantified and uninspected) opinion...

There are really three groups of people in the world....those who can count, and those who can't.

If you feel like going to work, lie down until the feeling goes away... Ignorance we can cure, stupidity we are forced to live with. If at first you don't succeed, ask for help before screwing it up completely. Yours,Aye.Dave

Besides, if you were twenty but knew what you knew now, you'd be forty...

Hey, I'm 21 and know multitudes of stuff about things from music to literature to art to history--but in the ways of the world, I'm "as dumb as a drum vith a hole in it" as Mr.Dickens would say.

"I sing, therefore I am," Descartes nearly said that.

Life is what God gives you, what you do with that life is what you give to God. Quote, but I don't remember by whom.

When you're in it up to your ears, it's best to keep your mouth shut.

When life gives you lemons, get some tequila.

Why is is that all the people who really know how the country should be run are working as taxi drivers or barbers? [seen on a pub wall this weekend]
