Daily motivational quotes

[doc henderson]

In my line of work, I have been loved and admired by many.  also yelled at, cussed at, spit on, kicked, punched, and bit.  For a special few, we like to say, "don't let the door hit cha, where the good lord split ya"!  makes us feel better to say it under our breath.

When I was growing up we always had a plaque around that said " The hurrier I go, the behinder I get." Some days that is so true.

Keep your eyes on the road ( visions, goals and dreams ).  Not on the review mirror ( negative thoughts, you can't do it and dream busters )

"There is some of the same fitness in a man's building his own house that there is in a bird's building its own nest. Who knows but if men constructed their dwellings with their own hands, and provided food for themselves and families simply and honestly enough, the poetic faculty would be universally developed, as birds universally sing when they are so engaged? But alas! we do like cowbirds and cuckoos, which lay their eggs in nests which other birds have built, and cheer no traveller with their chattering and unmusical notes. Shall we forever resign the pleasure of construction to the carpenter?" Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Success is a ladder that cannot be climbed with your hands in your pockets.

To err is human, to blame it on others shows management potential.

   That reminds me of the six phases of any major project:

1. Enthusiasm
2. Disillusionment
3. Panic
4. Search for the guilty
5. Punishment of the innocent
6. Rewards for the non-participants

[Gere Flewelling]

Any man can be a farther.  But it takes a special person to be a Dad.
I see this demonstrated often in pictures on this forum. ;)

[Gere Flewelling]

Sorry! I meant father in the previous post.  It would help if I could spell.

[Resonator]

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

  Some from my military days:

If the enemy is in range - so are you.

When the pin is pulled Mr. grenade is nobody's friend.

Don't draw fire - it annoys those around you.

If you are involved in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

    And from the old gunfighter days:

Never use any pistol with a caliber that doesn't start with at least a 4

Shoot twice - bullets are cheap, lives aren't.

Nobody remembers who drew and shot first - just who fired last
