Thoughts to Get Through a Crisis. Part 2

                                                        Thoughts to Get Through a Crisis.

                                                               Contemplate these.

If you lend someone twenty dollars and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

You cannot tell which way the train went by looking at the track.

A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

There is absolutely no substitute for a genuine lack of preparation.

Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

Happiness is merely the remission of pain.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

No one is listening until you fart.

Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.

Sometimes too much drink is not enough.

The facts, although interesting, are irrelevant.

The careful application of terror is also a form of communication.

Someone who thinks logically is a nice contrast to the real world.

Things are more like they are today than they ever have been before.

Anything worth fighting for is worth fighting dirty for.

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.

Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate.

I have seen the truth and it makes no sense.

Suicide is the most sincere form of self-criticism.

All things being equal, fat people use more soap.

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

One-seventh of your life is spent on Monday.

The more you run over a dead cat, the flatter it gets.

This is as bad as it can get, but don't bet on it.

Never wrestle with a pig: you both get all dirty, and the pig likes it.

Any and all compliments can be handled by simply saying "Thank you," though it helps if you say it with a Southern accent..

No books will be as good as the ones you loved as a child.

Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables: get someone else to hold them while you chop away.

Never give yourself a haircut after 3 martinis, or 3 margaritas, or 3 shots of tequila.

When baking, follow directions. When cooking, go by your own taste.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, your body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "Woo hoo! What a ride!"

The trouble with life is you're halfway through it before you realize it's a "do it yourself" thing.

Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, and it's true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

It takes only a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything that comes along their way.

I think you have become the forum philosopher MB.  I love almost all of those points!  But I think the pig is my favourite!

Many years ago, at the end of a rather abuse relationship, in which my ex, did one of the worst things a person can do to a mother, caused Michael to go through a rather traumatic experience. Some of the most evil thoughts ran through my mind, many of which I wanted to act upon. A very special friend, suggested that I shouldn't lower myself to their level. I have received some very good advice of the years and that was certainly one of the best.

So yes Clive, I decided not to get dirty.


PS. It still makes my blood boil!
