My first reaction to this one was "what does that really mean". This guy has a good take on the quote.

That which does not kill us makes us stronger. ~ viking proverb

Life is NOT a hypothetical exercise ~ actually original to me, so far as I know

Tool Power and Tool Danger are always roughly proportional - so anything that can cut down a tree can also remove your foot.

When unsure of how to proceed, do 100% of what you know how to do. ~ friend of mine.

I love it. It really is true. Goes along with "It's what you learn after you know it all that counts".

Pardnership, after the thrill of being in double harness is over, there is always that nagging question, who is pulling the most weight.

An annual contest is held each year at Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.

This year's term was: "Political Correctness."

The winner and a great definition by a Student who wrote:

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end."

Whatever you are, be a good one.
