I get a lot of mileage out of this one:

It's far better to be thought a fool, than to start talking and erase all doubt.

Saw this one yesterday:

This has generally been my experience so I marvel at the truth in this statement. Once a lady enters her car it's usually at least ten more minutes before the car is started.

Nothing is ever as good as you hope, or as bad as you fear.

I used to believe that but now I'm not so sure. Sometimes things are worse than you fear.

A problem never get fixed until it becomes a problem for the person who has the power to fix it.

But ten seconds before she pulls out her cellphone. I've seen women pulling out their phones before backing out of a shopping area parking space....

I think fear is the biggest thief there is...

I've realized over my lifetime that the "worst things that ever happened to me" never actually happened to me, it was just fear taking up residence in my head...

And we can't get those wasted parts of our lives back again...
