If you want something done right, get a lazy man to do it, because there is no extent that a lazy man will not go to, to avoid work. He will even do it right the first time.

Some of my fav's are:
Make something idiot proof, they'll build a better idiot.
Don't sh*t where you eat.
You want it when? <laughing>
I was visiting another site about my former lemon and found this:
"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."

Sorry, no "funnies" to add (long day).

Like Steve, the "Golden Rule" has always worked pretty well for me.

Then there's always:

"What doesn't kill me makes me stronger"

"Every challenge is an opportunity in disguise"

"Patience is the root of all wisdom"

"Wherever you go, there you are"

"You learn something every day"

"If at first you don't succeed..."

and, finally...

"I drink, therefore I am"

My absolute favorite:
So many freaks, so few circuses.

Also:
If you love something, set it free. If it doesn't come back to you hunt it down and kill it.

A friend helps you move. A true friend helps you move a body, clean up the blood and create an alibi.

Sincerity is everything. Once you can fake that, you've got it made.

I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy. [Wink]
