Hey, we cannot let this thread die, there has been a lot of wisdom shared! Entry from "blindbatt"



One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important.

Bertrand Russell

Blessed are the cheese-makers.

Python

"Deteriorata" - National Lampoon

You are a fluke of the universe.  You have no right to be here.
Deteriorata.  Deteriorata.

Go placidly amid the noise and waste,
And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.

Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep.
Rotate your tires.

Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself,
And heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss, and _when_.

Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that three do.

Wherever possible, put people on hold.

Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment,
and despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer maintenance.

Remember The Pueblo.
Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate.
Know yourself.  If you need help, call the FBI.

Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you -
That lemon on your left, for instance.

Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet.

Fall not in love therefore.  It will stick to your face.
Gracefully surrender the things of youth: birds,
Clean air, tuna, Taiwan.
And let not the sands of time get in your lunch.

Hire people with hooks.
For a good time, call 606-4311.  Ask for Candy.

Take heart in the deepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.

And reflect that whatever fortune may be your lot,
It could only be worse in Milwaukee.

        You are a fluke of the universe.
        You have no right to be here.
        And whether you can hear it or not,
        The universe is laughing behind your back.

Therefore, make peace with your god,
Whatever you perceive him to be - hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.

With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal,
The world continues to deteriorate.

Give up!

A price has to be paid for success. Almost invariably those who have reached the summits worked harder and longer, studied and planned more assiduously, practiced more self-denial, overcame more difficulties than those of us who have not risen so far. B.C. Forbes

I don't believe it, NOBODY, has any "words to live by", I have been contributing to this, for so long I really hate to see it die, in such a way, forgotten, dismissed...........
These are "words to live by" from me:

None of us are so well off, we all need lived in, proven, horse sense, to live a "great" life!
I can never be too healthy enough, too rich enough, too educated enough, too happy enough, that I can not benefit from wise words, shared by all of you!

Hey UBoB, you started this thread, long time ago, why don't you share some "Words to Live by", I am very sure as a candaian, you live wisely!
I've seen ON, Canada in the winter, I know you have wise words to share!

I checked this thread was started 2/6/2003, have a heart, keep this going. Come on UBob, where are you? Come on UBob, where are you?
Come on UBob, where are you? Come on UBob, where are you?
I'm doing my part, I'm not a slacker, CONTRIBUTE!!!!!! Please!

He who laughs last laughs alone...

Life is like a sewer.....what you get out of it depends on what you put into it...

Imagination grows by exercise, and contrary to common belief, is more powerful in the mature than in the young. - W. Somerset Maugham

You have to be careful who you let define your good. Lois McMaster Bujold

Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

"A life is either all spiritual or not spiritual at all. No man can serve
two masters. Your life is shaped by the end you live for. You are made in
the image of what you desire." Thomas Merton
