    Anyone close to death will tell you that it was never the things they tried and failed at that they regret, it was the things they never tried. Life is short, live.

    I love this from one of the Rocky movies "It's not how hard you punch, it's how hard you can take a punch and keep moving forward."

    This one is mine "In a hundred years no one will ever know or care that you ever existed".

    Make sure that, in a hundred years, people will still know ny name.

    Don't call all in on a draw.

    Raise all-in on a draw if you think they might fold. If they don't maybe you hit your draw.

    If you are slipping on the ice, just fall down. You'll pull every muscle and look like a dweeb trying not to fall, and you'll still probably fall.

    Don't leave your gym bag in the car during the winter. Putting on COLD gym clothes sucks.

    Clean your house before you go on vacation nothing worse then coming home to a mess after being away.

    If you can manage it, do your laundry wherever you are vacationing so you don't have to worry about that too. Plus clean clothes pack better....

    If you can laugh at yourself in bed, you can laugh at life's travails. Humor and humility beat frustration and hopelessness every time.

    The first answer might be no, but if you try your best, it's rarely the last.

    Never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent!

    Don't worry if you don't have time to do it right the first time. You'll probably have time to do it over. (jk!)

    Don't let that boy come over when we're not home. (my mother) Definitely should have heeded this one!'

    What I tell my kids:

    You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

    Applies to life and to them playing soccer!


    Perfect. applies to hockey as well
    Also
    When you die people remember the time you spent with them and the way you acted,no one remembers how much money you made or what clothes you wore.

    If you can laugh at yourself in bed, you can laugh at life's travails.

    In that case, I win at life. I always laugh in bed :D

    If you can dream it, you can do it.
    Patience is a virtue.
    Think positive.
    Everything happens for a reason.
    If someone tells you you cant, prove to them you can.

    All words of advice from my grandma.

    Several...Some are quotes I've run into, some are what family members have told me growing up.

    -There are more people out there who will try to bring you down than help you up.
    - If you're not grateful for what you already have, then what makes you think you'll be happy with more?
    - A person who is nice to you, but not nice to the waiter, is not a nice person.
    - Happiness is only real when shared (Into the Wild...one of the best movies ever)
    - Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it's stupid.
    -The real measure of wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all of your money

    My dad told me this all the time growing up. It's engraved in my brain.

    Sorry if I repeat any earlier ones...

    "Never argue with fools, because people, from a distance, can't tell who is who."

    "Never fear Rome, for the serpent lies coiled in Naples."

    "Tame your demons before you become one."

    "Never go raw in a chick whose last name is 'Cockburn.'"

    "If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy."

    Not grammatically sound, but a truism nonetheless.

    Farts are like prisoners, make sure you can trust them before they're released.

    Thought you were going to say keep innocent bystanders away from the prison door!!!
