>>> Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.

>>> Every path has a few puddles.

>>> Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway.

>>> If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

>>> Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.

>>> The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every morning.

>>> Always drink upstream from the herd.

>>> Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
