Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you'll be a mile away and have their shoes.

Perfect in so many ways.

The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.

Macbeth's Soliloquy

I never enjoyed Shakespeare but for some inexplicable reason I have always remembered this quote from a class in high school.

"There ain't no such thing as a free lunch" This quote attributed to Nobel-prize winning Chicago-school economist Milton Friedman is more appropriate today than ever before as we have nearly half of the country on some form of "free" government assistance. Somebody is always paying.
