Worrying is like paying on a debt that may never come due.
It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, it's what we know that ain't so.

Live in such a way that you wouldn’t be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip.
People's minds are changed through observation and not through argument.
There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.
We can't all be heroes, because somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by.
The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them.
You've got to go out on a limb sometimes because that's where the fruit is.
