Have education making you a quality person,

What you do and what you talk will reflect your habits.

Your habits will reflect that you have or have no education

Then will reflect that, you are a quality person or no. party13

Never eat Yellow snow.

You can choose your friends but not your family.

Never count your chickens before they hatch.

Its not over until the final whistle is blown.

Its a game of two halfs.

A man who never made a mistake..........Never made anything.

History is the clearest guide to the future.

At the crossroads which road you choose to go down depends on where you have come from.

Never work with friends or family.



Rule 1. Women are always right.

Rule 2. Should a woman make a mistake (in the eyes of a man).  See rule 1.

And finally

Never post on the internet after a case of Leo!

Having sex is like playing bridge. If you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a good hand.

You have only one mouth and two ears.

Listen twice as much as you speak.

Similar to the Inspirational Coffee Video on the previous page:


The professor stood before his philosophy class. Instead of the usual small pile of books, he had an assortment of items in front of him. It was early in the term and the last first year students were taking their places. Without a word, he picked up a very large empty mayonnaise jar. He began to fill it carefully with golf balls. When he could get no more in, he asked the students if the jar was full. They said that it was.

So the professor picked up a box of small pebbles and began to pour them into the jar shaking it occasionally. The pebbles rolled themselves into the small spaces between the golf balls.
Again he asked the students if the jar was full. Again, they said that it was.

He next picked up a box of sand and poured it gently over the golf balls shaking the jar every few moments to allow the sand to fill up the very small spaces between everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students, by now realising that they had led themselves up a blind alley, joined in the exercise and responded with a loud and unanimous ‘Yes.’

With the flourish of a magician, the professor then produced two bottles of Guinness from his brief case and poured the entire contents into the jar, now ‘completely’ filling the empty spaces between the grains of sand. The students laughed.

‘Now’, said the professor, as the laughter subsided, ‘this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things, your family, your children, your health, your friends, your passions. These are the things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your
life would be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter - like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else, the small stuff.

If you put the sand into the jar first’, he continued, ‘there would be no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Love and respect your partner – go out to dinner and the theatre. Play with your children. Take the time to have medical check-ups.

Play another 18 holes. There will always be time for the cleaning. There will be another opportunity to fix things around the house.

Set your priorities. Take care of your golf balls before you take care of your pebbles. The rest is just sand.’

He bowed. The class applauded the presentation.

One student raised a
hand.

‘Professor’, she said, ‘you didn’t mention the Guinness. What does the Guinness represent?’

The professor smiled. ‘I'm glad you asked. It doesn’t matter how full your life may seem, there's always time for a couple of bottles of Guinness.’ party4

There are no easy answers' but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.

Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music.

I know it's hard when you're up to your armpits in alligators to remember you came here to drain the swamp

There are no such things as limits to growth, because there are no limits to the human capacity for intelligence, imagination, and wonder


There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect


One way to make sure crime doesn't pay would be to let the government run it.

The most terrifying words in the English langauge are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help


Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

Ronald Reagan
