    A wise man once said:

    1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me,
    for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much
    leave me alone.

    2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and
    leaky tire.

    3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your
    neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.


    4. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be
    promoted.

    5. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.

    6. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

    7. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car
    payments.

    8. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
    That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their
    shoes.

    9. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is probably not for you.

    10. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish,
    and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day .

    11. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was
    probably a wise investment.

    12. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

    13. Some days you're the bug; some days you're the windshield.

    14. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

    15. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put
    it back in your pocket.

    16. A closed mouth gathers no foot.

    17. Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side,
    and it holds the universe together.

    18. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.

    19. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are
    moving .

    20. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.


    21. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

    AND

    22 . Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative
    on the same night.

    Now that's a fact.

    20. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

    Reading directions is learning. Not reading them is experience.

          Some great and profound lines!

          I think those were collected by Tom and Ray Magliozzi (aka, "Click & Clack, the Tappet Brothers). At least, that's where I first heard them.

            You start life with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the one bag before you empty the other.
