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.

Great quotes
 

So many good ones have been posted. My favorite:

My past will remind me, but not define me.

Perfect in so many ways.

That's a deep thought.

It's a Handey one too.

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. –Maya Angelou

"All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.”


― Saint Francis of Assisi

"Not my circus,
Not my monkeys."

I like it!

What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. --Christopher Hitchins

I like it! I often use another variety of that -- "This isn't the hill I choose to die on."

Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.

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.

There have been several on here that I really like. Another one that fits too many people these days is "You can't fix stupid." I believe comedian Ron White, aka Tater Salad, is responsible for that one.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do."

My wife and I have used this quote to justify nearly every vacation! :loco:

Anything by Will Rogers, but especially:

"Live your life in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip."

One of my favorite quotes is in my "signature block" below. It's self-explanatory. :smiley:
