A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, con a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. Robert A. Heinlein, Notebooks of Lazusarus Long

A veteran is someone's who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to the United States of America for an amount of up to and including their life. That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

I forgot who said it, but back about 1993-4 when the Clinton administration was pushing the "Hillarycare" program for universal health care there were all kinds of comments. The one I remember best was, " If you think healthcare is expensive now, just wait until it's free!".

Never piss off a redhead.
If you walk with a purpose eventually you will collide with destiny.
If you always chase perfection you can be assured of finding excellence along the way.
Do not double down on dumb.
You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!

Years ago, an old guy said to me after I ranted to him about a minor problem I had encountered ..... "A hundred years from now, it won't make any difference at all".
These are some of the wisest words I've ever heard. All these years later, I remember the advice but cannot remember what the rant was about.
