1. Don't get married.
2. If you get married, don't have kids.

I failed to heed the advices...

Where did you hear that from? The CO of my last ship in the Navy used to say that all the time. Kind of strange seeing it elsewhere.

You never heard that quote before? Kinda sad to realize, but its 100%.

EDIT: TBH, if you want some really insightful quotes read some by Hitler, Stalin, or Nietzsche, they all 3 see the screwed up side of reality very clearly. Its nice reading a bunch of beautifull and inspiring quotes, but every once and awhile you need to look at the dark and depressing quotes to get the full view of life.

Don't squat with yer spurs on.

Always drink UPSTREAM from the heard.

Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.

There's more ways to skin a cat than stickin' its head in a bootjack and jerkin' on its tail.

"The squeaky wheel gets the grease"

My Dad used to always say that to me and it's so true.

Some times you just have to speak up and make some noise.

"perception is reality"

and

"It's always who you know, not what you know."

You can live your entire life pretty well with just these two.

don't worry what everybody else is saying or doing. you need only to worry about one person... yourself.
