The best leader is the one who supports instead of leads. Always test your stove with the lights off so you can see the danger before it's licking up your legs. You can pounce down a slope. You can't pounce up. It's easier to get hurt going down than it is going up. The trip after you remove that item you obviously will never need from your firstaid kit is the time you need it.

You can't learn something you think you already know (my favorite). And now mine. Jazz is just blues with all the soul sucked out. And, blues is just black country & western.

Try not to be near people that are always bandaged up.
Why do we say 'fell down'? Ever hear of anyone falling up?
Everyone has their own personal demons. Only the most fortunate are given the privilege of confronting them.
A manager does things right. A leader does the right thing.
Politicians are more concerned about the next election than the next generation.

Quoting my father. " It would be lighter out here if it weren't so dark." I knew he meant the cloud cover was making it darker than if the moon and stars were out... but being a teen at the time, I didn't let it pass.
