Since I'm a new member of SGF I want to thank You for letting me in the Fold!
If it's ok with you all I would like to start "WORDS OF WISDOM" that I would like to see all members contribute.
My opening contribution is-
"NEVER TRUST A SMILING DOG OR A NAKED POLICEMAN"!
Please respond with your "WORDS OF WISDOM"

Don: Here's a couple!
If God is your co-pilot, switch seats!

I'm trying to be as good a person as my dog thinks I am.

Don't believe everything you think. Oh yeah! that is my signature quote.

The best Captains are ashore.

A closed mouth gathers no foot.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

He who can, does; he who cannot, teaches

Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.

People in stone houses shouldn't throw glasses

Caveman ey?

With soup that thin, even a politician can see through it. (Woody Guthrie)

Don't depend on EFX to do your work !!

It's easy to man the helm when the sea is calm

Breathe Lightly
Walk Softly

My favorite; "If you want to hear GOD laugh, tell him your plans."

My Grandpa had a couple of odd ones that I think about.

1. "Be wary of anyone with two first names"..eg; Peter David.

2. This one came from him when he was concerned about who I was running with; "If you stand next to the outhouse long enough; pretty soon you'll look and smell like a turd." (It took me way too long to heed that advice).

Whatever you think, don't never, unless you will.

"Good enough" isn't.

"It'll do" won't.

Never slap a man who chews tobacco.

"With a name like Smuckers, it has to be good".

"He is rich who is satisfied with his portion" (Confucius)

he who's thoughts don't go far
will see troubles up close

The 3 rules of life, from Nelson Algren's novel "A Walk On The Wild Side" (1956):

Never play cards with a man called Doc.

Never eat at a place called Mom's.

Never sleep with a woman whose troubles are worse than your own.

As near as I can recall, I've violated only one of the three--most likely the same one as the rest of you.

Henry Thoreau had a pretty good on also:

Beware of enterprises requiring new clothes.

Drizzle is just a word until it happens.

My Grandfather told me "never buy anything with a handle, because it invariably means 'WORK'".

When I asked him how you can tell the difference between 'Legal' and 'Illegal', he replied "If you cant tax it, it's illegal"

All of which I have found to be true

I complained about Human Nature but no one wanted to hear it, much less do anything about it.
