I am one that likes to attempt to learn life lessons from others through the wisdom of their quotes. So that being what it is I am starting this thread to record them for ease of me finding them later on. Feel free to add your own if you like.
This was the last thing Andrew Jackson's mother wrote to him before she died. He was only 14 at the time.
“Andrew, if I should not see you again, I wish you to remember and treasure up some things I have already said to you: in this world you will have to make your own way. To do that you must have friends. You can make friends by being honest, and you can keep them by being steadfast. You must keep in mind that friends worth having will in the long run expect as much from you as they give to you. To forget an obligation or be ungrateful for a kindness is a base crime — not merely a fault or a sin, but an actual crime. Men guilty of it sooner or later must suffer the penalty. In personal conduct be always polite but never obsequious. None will respect you more than you respect yourself. Avoid quarrels as long as you can without yielding to imposition. But sustain your manhood always. Never bring a suit in law for assault and battery or for defamation. The law affords no remedy for such outrages that can satisfy the feelings of a true man. Never wound the feelings of others. Never brook wanton outrage upon your own feelings. If you ever have to vindicate your feelings or defend your honor, do it calmly. If angry at first, wait until your wrath cools before you proceed.â€

If I can't practice, I can't practice. It is as simple as that. It ain't about that at all. It's easy to sum it up if you're just talking about practice. We're sitting here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we're talking about practice. I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, but we're talking about practice. Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game last it's my last but we're talking about practice man. How silly is that?

No he really said that last Saturday. We were discussing the upcoming holiday season and how it's all a waste of money. I just had no idea he meant that when he said the best gifts were free.

"Let me give you my vision: A man’s right to work as he will, to spend what he earns, to own property, to have the state as servant and not as master.â€
“If you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing."
“We want a society where people are free to make choices, to make mistakes, to be generous and compassionate. This is what we mean by a moral society; not a society where the state is responsible for everything, and no one is responsible for the state.â€
"I owe nothing to Women's Lib."
“Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.â€
~~~ Baroness Margaret Thatcher
She was everything this daughter of the Eighties ever wanted to be. My first true role model. Meeting her was one of the greatest moments of my life. She and Reagan were the last of the great statesmen.

I've got to ask you about 'The Penis Mightier'.
I garfunkled your mother.
What's the difference between you and a mallard with a cold. One's a sick duck... I can't remember how it ends, but your mother's a whore.
Suck it, Trebek.

What an honor. I would have loved to have met her. I have no idea how she walked around...with balls that big!
The sad part is, her own people were such pathetic wusses that they did not recognize her greatness until later.
