Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view of everyone.
No one is listening until you make a mistake.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Only those who risk going too far ever find out how far they can go.
A successful person is one who can build a solid foundation from the bricks thrown by others.
Success is largely a matter of h*****g on after others have let go.
God gave us two ears and only one tongue. Coincidence?
The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your own arm.
It is generally agreed that some people are wise, while some are otherwise.
The reason talk is cheap is that the supply far exceeds the demand.
It is not the IQ, but the I WILL that counts.
When most people put in their two cent's worth, they're not overcharging.
A pessimist is a person who looks at the world through woes-colored glasses.
Failure is taking the path of least persistence.

These are very good axioms.

May I add a few? Thanks.

Never let your mother brush your hair when she's mad at your dad!
It's not the heat, it's the stupidity! (A little summertime humor)
Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song?
Man who goes to bed with itchy bum...often wakes up with stinky finger.

Ok, I'll quit, but I had to mix in a little levity.

No, I would be proud to claim those axioms*, but I lifted them from a column in a local publication.

*Thanks, OldenMcGroen...perfect choice of word.

Here's a poem for you;

If you smell human poo, check your pants
If you smell dog poo, check your shoes
if you listen to a politician and smell poo, check a different box next time you v**e.

No one is ever as smart as they think they are nor is anyone as dumb as others claim them to be. It's a matter of perception. My advice? Perceive yourself honestly, but take others perceptions of you "on advisement".

Mankind consist of the wise, the foolish, and the semi-wise (or semi-foolish). The wise--- what little they do
know they know that they know; and the much they do not know they know that they do not know.
The fools----what little they do know, they know that they know; and the much they do not know they know
that they know. The semi-wise, the majority of folk, know what little they do know, but are wholly ignorant
of the much they do not know. Ivan Panin

And those who are convinced that they know what they know, rarely entertain the notion that what they think they know may be wrong. That would mean that what they knew they knew they did NOT know, meaning that they did not know that they did not know. Who knew?

Those who know a little about everything, but claim that they understand it all, are the most dangerous creatures on the planet. Those who know a lot about a few things, but know they do not understand it all, are the folk who will save us from the know it all's. I personally, know a lot about a lot of things, but that only convinces me that I understand little of what I know.

Never accuse someone of not knowing s**t, because in fact ,that's exactly what they DO know. They do indeed know s**t, a lot of s**t, and that's exactly what it's worth, I s**t you not.

Well I swan to goodness, I think but then again, I really don't know.

Like the Cat said to Dorthy when she came to the fork in the road; "Oh which way shall I go"? She asked :!:
Where are you going? the Cat asked :!:
Dorthy answered, I don't know :!:
The Cat said, Then it really doesn't matter :?:

That Cat knew his stuff.... :shock: :lol: :mrgreen:

Besides, whichever way you go, if you keep going long enough, you'll end up right back where you started. That's why, when I return from somewhere, I say " now I'm back to where I was before I left to go to where I just came from".

When I was a kid we used to go visit relatives. We would leave before
daylight, my GrandPa and GrandMa would go with us.

GrandPa would always say when he saw the first headlights coming toward us, "No matter when or where you go, there is always somebody been there and coming back."

I've always heard the phrase "that's where it's at". :-D

Now, I know who's there. :thumbup:
