Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either. Just leave me the hell alone. <\/p>\n<p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire. <\/p>\n<p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#8217;s always darkest before dawn. So if you&#8217;re going to steal your neighbor&#8217;s newspaper, that&#8217;s the time to do it. <\/p>\n<p>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Don&#8217;t be irreplaceable; if you can&#8217;t be replaced, you can&#8217;t be promoted. <\/p>\n<p>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No one is listening until you make a mistake. <\/p>\n<p>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Always remember you&#8217;re unique, just like everyone else. <\/p>\n<p>7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Never test the depth of the water with both feet. <\/p>\n<p>8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. <\/p>\n<p>9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help. <\/p>\n<p>10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If you think nobody cares if you&#8217;re alive, try missing a couple of car payments. <\/p>\n<p>11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you&#8217;re a mile away and you have their shoes. <\/p>\n<p>12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If at first you don&#8217;t succeed, skydiving is not for you. <\/p>\n<p>13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat &amp; drink beer all day. <\/p>\n<p>14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it. <\/p>\n<p>15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Don&#8217;t squat with your spurs on. <\/p>\n<p>16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If you tell the truth, you don&#8217;t have to remember anything. <\/p>\n<p>17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If you drink, don&#8217;t park. Accidents cause people. <\/p>\n<p>18.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield. <\/p>\n<p>19.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Good judgment comes from bad experience and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. <\/p>\n<p>20.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket. <\/p>\n<p>21.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Timing has an awful lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance. <\/p>\n<p>22.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A closed mouth gathers no foot. <\/p>\n<p>23.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Duct tape is like the force: it has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together. <\/p>\n<p>24.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works. <\/p>\n<p>25.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Generally speaking, you aren&#8217;t learning much when your mouth is moving. <\/p>\n<p>26.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Experience is something you don&#8217;t get until just after you need it. <\/p>\n<p>(<em>courtesy of the godfather<\/em>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead.
