Quotes for the New Year

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise. (Al Franken, 2002)

Laughing at our mistakes can lengthen our own life. Laughing at someone else's can shorten it. (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC)

We're all capable of mistakes, but I do not care to enlighten you on the mistakes we may or may not have made. (Cullen Hightower)

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one. (Dr. David M. Burns)

Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again. (Elbert Hubbard, 1856 - 1915)

She had an unequalled gift... of squeezing big mistakes into small opportunities. (Henry C. Link)

When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power. (Henry James, 1843 - 1916)

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes. (James Joyce, 1882 - 1941)

An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field. (Napoleon Bonaparte, 1769 - 1821)

Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes. (Niels Bohr, 1885 - 1962)

To avoid situations in which you might make mistakes may be the biggest mistake of all. (Peter McWilliams, Life 101)

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

I stole the quote that I just put in my signature from a book called "Wit" by Des MacHale. It's full of humorous quotes, and due to a large amount of laziness, I don't remember who said it...

"Yesterday, I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in there, I'll never know"

Heres another

"Auntie, did you feel no pain
falling from that apple tree?
Would you do it,
Please again,
'cause my friend here didn't see?"

That's just 3 of them...one of them is in my signature.
I think I might end up as a grumpy old man when I get old...

Groucho was in his pajamas? That helps explain it. I'm confused. Wait! No. Maybe I'm not.

Yeah...as I think about it, I think it might have been Groucho Marx...
