The only way to be absolutely safe is never to try anything for the first time.

Never pick a fight with an ugly person, they've got nothing to lose.

In baiting a mousetrap with cheese, always leave room for the mouse.

If you want to become a coroner, be prepared for a stiff examination.

Marry an archaeologist because the older you get the more they are interested in you.

Don't put the cat out unless it is on fire.

The secret of eternal youth is to lie about your age.

My doctor once told me I looked a million dollars - green and wrinkled.

A little bit on that fragile thing we call "trust":

"You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you do not trust enough."

                                       ~ Frank Crane

"It is impossible to go through life without trust: That is to be imprisoned in the worst cell of all, oneself."

                                       ~ Graham Greene, The Ministry of Fear

"A human being is only interesting if he's in contact with himself. I learned you have to trust yourself, be what you are, and do what you ought to do the way you should do it. You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it."
                                       
                                        ~ Barbra Streisand

One who speaks but does not act is nothing more than a hollow echo in an empty room, and one who acts but does not speak is nothing more than a puppet to the will of others.

How about this one; Listen or thy tounge will keep thee deaf!
