This was told to me by my Dad when he taught me how to ride a motorcycle. "pretend everybody on the road is either blind, or out to kill you".

What if... while you slept you dreamed of picking a strange and beautiful flower..and what if when you woke the strange and beautiful flower was in your hand....what then? Two answers. 1) A dream come "true". 2) Someone's been out sleepwalking AGAIN Good " what if"....

The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly.

Not a particularly dogmatic person but LOVE the antecdote...(WAY Reader's Digested down)........ ....about the parents starting worry about their 4yo always wanting to go into the nursery to talk to their newborn alone, so they finally peer in close enough to listen. They find their (older) toddler leaning over the crib saying, "Tell me about God. I'm starting to forget."

Silence is golden. Ignorance is bliss. If you dont have anything nice to say, dont say it.

Do unto others as they have done to you. Don't mess with cops. Try to keep out of jail. If she has a rash, don't screw her. Let sleeping dogs lie. My mother was not that. Don't eat smelly fish. Wash your face, behind the ears too. Ole' Man God don't eat little kids. That's a rumour only. The grass is always greener.
