    My favourite proverb is Marley Farleys signature quote...

    "Live as if you are going to die tomorrow,
    Garden as if you were going to live forever".


    :D

    Don't complain. The wheel that squeaks the loudest often gets replaced.

    If at first you do succeed - try something harder.

    A smile is the shortest distance between people.

    People who are resting on their laurels are wearing them on the wrong end.
