Success is not a destination. It is a manner of traveling.

It also is determined by what your definition of success is!!!!!!!!!! . Such as in my case I have already raised my oldest to be self sufficient still working on the the 15 and 10 yrold's to me that is success.

Money is a poor measure of success.

Never love what cannot love you back.

It came to pass; it didn't come to stay.

Humble people don't think less of themselves,
they just think of themselves less.

Fear is a darkroom where negatives are developed.

Today is the tomorrow that I worried about yesterday.

People who are wrapped up in themselves make a very small package

A joke is a very serious thing.

A sense of humor is the ability to understand a joke - and that the joke is oneself.

A woman uses her intelligence to find reasons to support her intuition.

Common sense is not so common

If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

You have nothing to fear but fear itself, and an angry wife so dont tick her off.

Watch your thinking:
Your thoughts soon become your actions.
Watch your actions:
As actions soon become habits.
Be careful of your habits:
Your habits form your character.
Watch your character,
For character becomes your destiny...

You know what's right!...Now go do it!

The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first.

Don't assume malice for what stupidity can explain.

Always remember you're unique! Just like everyone else.

Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night!

Good enough usually isn't!

One of the best pieces of advice my father gave me:

Never do a job someone will curse you for!

I heard him say this a few times:
This will last longer than me!

A psychiatrist asks a lot of expensive questions your wife asks for nothing.

A man begins cutting his wisdom teeth the first time he bites off more than he can chew.

Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

Your maker gave you two ears and only one mouth. This means to listen twice as much as you speak. If you shut up now you might catch up before you die

A few of my favs

It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.

The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for


...And I'm still here, waiting here, to catch you if you fall. I don't know why I care so much when I shouldn't care at all.


I do it because i can, I can because I want to, I want to because you said I couldn't.
