I’ve always found this pretty amusing and it makes a good point. Try and work it into a conversation over the weekend.

The difference between “involvement” and “commitment” is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast:  The chicken was “involved”— The pig was “committed.”

And if you can’t get that in. Try this one. It’s from my dad. He used to say it to my sister and me when we would complain. It works for lots of stuff. It’s not groundbreaking or really deep or anything, but we’ve always found it helpful and hilarious.

That’s the price of hamburger baby…

It’s not bad advice. People need philosophies. And the book is pretty good!

In later life, I have come to realize that any expression of love which ends in a yelp probably requires modification.

—Russell Brand

My dad’s philosophy was (and I think still is) that life is a malevolent force, which seeks to destroy you, and you have to struggle with it. Only those who are hard enough will succeed. Most people get crushed, but if you fight, in the end life will go, “F*cking hell. This one’s serious. Let him through.”

—Russell Brand

To go with the whole anti-social, marauding theme we have going here. But with humor:

You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.

—Al Capone

We are quite violent today I think…

New Look! New Feature! Quote of the…

Not sure how often I’ll hit a new quote. I’ll try daily. Everyone needs a motto even if it’s just for one day. Enjoy the new look of the site. I really like it. Looks more like me.

These words actually got me thru alot at one point in time. They still help whenever I need to be reminded about the bigger picture. Not sure where or who I got it from–it was a long time ago. Here it is:

To be too large for worry,

too noble for anger,

too strong for fear,

and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

—Unknown
