My wisdom:
If you can't afford to buy quality up front, how will you afford the replacement?
Repair something right the first time and you won't have to come up with more time and money to fix it twice.
I'd rather work with someone who accomplishes less- but has a better attitude, than a speed-demon who has a sucky one.
Don't bitch or complain about trivial things, people DO NOT want to hear it-
-They have their own problems to worry about.
Don't jump into a conversation unless you can add intelligence to it, or something that is really funny.
Don't kid yourself...you can't drive and text (safely) at the same time.

My Father always said.... Old age and treachery will get'cha every time.
Marriage is like game of poker. You start with pair and end with full house.
Confusious say... War do not determine who is right, war determine who left.
Confusious say... Virginity like bubble, one ***** all gone.

a few from my dad...
If you're minding your business you don't have time to mind anyone else's.
If it's got t*ts or tires, it's gonna be trouble.
If you shake it more than twice, you're playing with it.

Murphy's law - If anything can go wrong it will.
Kingfish's law - If you have planned for everything, and there is no possible way anything could go wrong, it is going to be so screwed up, you will never see daylight.

Congress is one of the major tenets of the Constitution!
Our founding fathers wisely crafted that leg our National Stool!
How dare you besmirch the fine work of Washington, Jefferson or that guy on the Five or that guy on the Ten!

Hardly a besmirchment... Maybe they intended Congress to be mostly a nonproductive entity. A scary Congress to me, is one that gets everything it wants to do... done.
