My favorite quote: "It has been said, that time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens, but it is never gone." Rose F. Kennedy

"Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug " I think this came from a country song.

Mary Chapin Carpenter covered it, but it is a Dire Straits song.

"Experience is the best teacher, but wisdom is learning form other people's experiences".

Use to use that one on my son growing up, as he would listen and tend to not make mistakes, that could be avoided.

I like this quote because it is the crux of existence.
Have to agree that this is the best quote ever. I have enjoyed all the quotes though.

A former boss of mine used to say, "Whenever I walk into a situation the first thing I try to figure out is--Who's problem is it?" He said other people were always trying to make him responsible for their problems, so he learned to quickly identify who the responsible party really is.

This saying is somewhat akin to: Not my circus. Not my monkeys. The slight difference is instead of just saying "It's not my problem", which is a valuable stance by itself, he went a step further and determined precisely whose problem it is.
