If only more people listened...

Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.

~ Ricky Gervais (on The View, of all places!)

The faintest ink is better than the best memory.

~ Chinese proverb (heard on Mad Men)

Still trying to learn this lesson...

Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is considered wise; when he shuts his lips he is deemed a man of understanding. 

~ Proverbs 17:28

Napoleon's Credo

The world is for the taking.  

Ambition and determination are the means of achieving it.  

Imitate great men of history, and the world can be yours. 

~ Plutarch

I can relate!

 Caroline Lamb...God Damn!

~ Lord Byron

note:  Lord Byron was passionately in love with Caroline Lamb off and on throughout his life.  Caroline was described by Lord Byron as "mad, bad, and dangerous to know."

A poem I'm trying to memorize

 My Heart's Fit to Break

My heart's fit to break, yet no tear fill my eye,

As I gaze on the moon, and the clouds that flit by;

The moon shines so fair, it reminds me of thee,

But the clouds that obscure it are emblems of me. 

They will pass like the dreams of our pleasures and youth,

They will pass like the promise of honor and truth,

And bright thou shalt shine when these shadows are gone,

All radiant, serene, unobscur'd-but alone.

~ Caroline Lamb

If only it was that easy...

In my life, I've learned that you can't make someone love you.

So I've taken the next best course...

accept and surrender

~ Capt. Massey on Doctor Odyssey

Something to think about

Divorce. It’s the biggest destroyer of wealth you’ll face. Marriage is a financial partnership. You’re creating a business with your spouse. 

Choose wisely, align your financial goals, and protect your wealth. 

Otherwise, get ready to start over with half. 

~ Kevin O'Leary ("Mr. Wonderful" on Shark Tank)

Ask yourself...

Ask yourself who you’d want to spend the last day of your life with and then meet with them as often as you can. 

 ~ Warren Buffett
