"Never miss a good opportunity to shut up."

That's a good one.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Here are a few good ones...i worked with an old man that would drop these little one liners every day.  I started writting them down in a book.  I have over 200 of them.  Unfortunatley most of them are not fit for this forum.  :)

1. He was tight as bark on a tree;
2. He was as nervous as a dog sh-tting a peach seed.
3.  Dark as the inside of a bear
4. He's about as usefull as pocket on the back of a shirt.
5. His eyes rolled back in his head like a dieing calf in a hail storm
6. That's as useful as tits on a boar hog
7. I'm so unlucky i could fall in a barrel of T_ts and come out sucking my thumb
8.  I'm so mad i could lay down and piss straight up
9.  He looked as out of place as a turd in a punch bowl
10.  if it hurts...your probably not doing it right

My late Dad's only two sayings, which I heard time and again:

"Too soon old, too late smart."  
(When the day's events/weather/news/markets showed a different previous choice would have been a better course of action)


"From the day you're born 'til you ride in a hearse, it's NEVER so bad that it couldn't be worse"  
(Applicable to lost love, financial reverses, and farming in general, but he pulled this out on me several times as a young man when I REALLY wished he wouldn't!)
Daryl Harding
"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose."  Jim Elliot

Traditional bowhunting is often a game of seconds... and inches!

Politicians are like diapers- they both need to be changed regularly for the same reason.

A tree doesn't fall far from its nuts.

A released arrow is like a spoken word-it can't be taken back.

Tis better to regret the shot not taken than to regret the shot taken. Rick Essex

Time flies like an arrow and fruit flies like a banana.

Bleeding ALWAYS stops.

I dreamed that life was all joy. I awoke and found it was but service. I served and found that service was joy.

suzie_shooter beat me too it.  My dad always said, "Can't never did anything."  He also says, "Anything worth doing is worth doing right."

I'll add one.  "That's neater than a whole tree full of hoot owl babies."
