Default AGF's Original Pithy Words

We all know countless pithy words of wisdom from others. It's time we came up with our own here on the AGF. Post yours! It can be profound or silly, or anything our rules allow. The act of cutting grass always seems to promote my pith. Here's something that came to me yesterday as I mowed.

Super heroes are not people with supernatural powers.
They are ordinary people
who use their ordinary powers
in extraordinarily sacrificial ways,
regardless of the circumstances.
Be someone's super hero today!

A person of Great Integrity expects to be believed. If he is not; he lets time prove him right. This of course works for the she's as well.

I will add a second one. This I use when evaluation politicians.

What you do speaks so loudly; I can't hear what you say.

One preliminary investigation is worth a thousand expert opinions.

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice...but not in practice.

The foe of knowledge is not ignorance, but ignorance of ignorance.

Eternity is a really long time...especially near the end.

Life's a trail, not a camp.

Don't believe everything you think.

The truth is a lot like sasquatch. Folks say they've seen it, but offer little proof of it.
