To paraphrase an advert that was on my local TV not so long ago...

If I risk talking when I have a stutter, I will risk people laughing at me. If I risk trying something I am not good at I will making a fool out of myself. If I risk sky diving I risk dying if the parachute doesn't open. What then, it the most dangerous risk of all? It is to risk NOTHING.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again.
If at first you do succeed, try, to hide your astonishment,

A Buddhist wise saying of the great LAO TSEU:
Only when you see alight a mosquito on your testicles, you realize that you can solve certain problems better without violence.

The class warfare has been underway for some years . Our side won. - Warren Buffett

Only when a mosquito alights on your testicles do you realize that violence is not necessarily the solution to every problem. - Lao Tsu

Only when a mosquito's testicles alights you do you realize that violence is not necessarily the solution to every problem. - Lu Tsao

"You can make any public figure sound like a boob, if you record everything she/he says." - Mark Liberman

Any woman can give birth to a child, but it takes a real woman to love, cherish and raise that child.

You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.

One of my favourite bhuddist quotes of all time.

-Without speaking, without silence, how can you express the truth?"

The invisible and the non-existent often look very much alike. - Julia Sweeney

Je suis divisé
On m'a multiplié
J'ai jamais rien soustrait
Et je laisse la somme aux autres

  • Claude Péloquin (Québécois Poet)

(English)
I'm a man divided
They multiplied me
I never subtracted anything
And I leave the sum of it all to others

If you think education is expensive....try ignorance. anonymous

Anger is one one letter less of "Danger". Hence be careful.
