Now that's irony. I never thought about it that way. That's a fun angle on the quote. (When did fun become an adjective?) Anyway, love the comment. :clap2:

Still one of my favorite quotes though.

If you always do what you've always done
You'll always get what you all ready got

Probably already in this thread.

He who watches the Clock
Will always be one of the Hands

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Easy to live by.

There are only three kinds of people in this world, those that make things happen, those that watch things happen, and those who say "what happened?"

“The more you know, the more you know you don't know.”

― Aristotle

There was a great young Frenchman (Jean-Francois Paquereau) I worked with who gave me this profound bit of wisdom:

"You do not know what you do not know."

"No Good Deed Goes Unpunished!" --

I first heard it from a close friend who was a State Senator who still kept trying to help his constituents.

That almost sounds like a Yogi-ism! "It ain't over 'til it's over"! :-)

Another Yogi-ism:

"You have to go to other people's funerals or else, they won't come to yours".

Obliviously referring to the other people, attending the wake.

You are not old until your dreams turn to regrets!!!

"A man is not a fool for what he does not know, but for what he knows that is not so"
I have always liked this quote (by Mark Twain?) because it speaks to one of the worst traits of us humans - arrogance.

Figures don't lie
but liars can figure

Famous Quote
 

Out of chaos comes order!

There is No U-Hall behind a hearse , you can't take it with you.

What goes around, comes around.

I think this one belongs to Mark Twain --

"It is better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool;
than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!!"

I like the above two quotes from Patty - they come in handy.
I also like "It is what it is".
I know it's inane and meaningless; and it drives Fireboy crazy when I say it.
But sometimes, it's just the right response.

My favorite is still the following, it just tickles my fancy.

I often use the flip of "It is what it is." "It aint what it aint".

I think my all time pearl of wisdom is "You don't take your good china to a picnic."

Why are we so soon old and so late smart?

For anyone into math and statistics:

"Statistics is a mathematically precise line drawn between an unwarranted assumption and a foregone conclusion." Dr. Isaiah Judah Gottesman

Never never never give up.
(Winston Churchill)

if it works, don't fix it
