Words of Wisdom
‘Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables
you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
By the time you can make ends meet, they move
the ends.
Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall
never cease to be amused.
A conscience is what hurts
when all your other parts feel so good.
Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to
the real world.
Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.’
