    Thought Id post a few of these...I wonder how many of them apply to some
    of the threads going around at the moment...and which ones apply to life and society in general...

    Learn how to learn.
    The desire to do something easy weakens the desire to do something hard.
    God helps those who help themselves, the others are helpless.
    By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
    If at first you dont succeed, try try again.
    Mostly in life, we do what we want to do.
    What makes a champion is the ability to overcome setbacks and obstacles.
    When you reach the top, the only only thing separating you from the rest is your mental attitude.
    The next best thing to trying and winning is trying and losing.
    The hardest thing to do some days is to walk out the door.
    No-one ever got depressed walking through the park in the sunshine, but
    what about if its raining and youre inside.
    Let those who are free of sin cast the first stone.
    Theres no rules as to how to win, just win.
    Never give a sucker an even break.
    If you dont know who the sucker is in a group, its you.
    Leopards dont change their spots.
    You cant teach an old dog new tricks.
    Its an old dog for a hard road.
    Encourage those that fail and praise those that succeed but say the same thing to both.
    Theres no such thing as the truth, only perception.
    The best way to teach a kid is to seat him down the front.
    If you dont like yourself, no-one will like you.

    Some of these, of course, have hidden meanings...

    My favourite:
    Kerry Packer was once playing Baccarat with a few people at a Casino when
    a loudmouth jibberer starts bragging about how good he is...
    Obviously they dont know each other...Packer is getting a bit tired of him and says:
    "How much are you worth?"
    The guy responds gleefully:
    "Ohh, about two million" and smile to his mates...
    Packer says:
    "I'll flip you for it" and reaches into his pocket and pulls out a coin...
    The mouth gets up and walks away........

    Maybe a few more tomorrow...:omg:

    Only two for to-day:

    To break a habit, one must first create another habit to take its place
    completely.
    Never destroy the joy of giving.
