rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs
the least." "When
there is no penalty for failure, you get a lot of failure." "Don't
confuse action with motion." "I
will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going
to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and
inexperience." "If
a man speaks his mind in a forest and no woman hears him is
he still wrong?" "I
went out and bought an Apple computer; it had a worm in it!
I'm tellin' ya, I just don't get no respect!" "You

as that." "Oh

You are a Marine! If it's stupid, but it works, it isn't stupid. Don't look conspicuous - it draws fire. This is why aircraft carriers are called, "Bomb Magnets." When in doubt, empty your magazine. Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you are. Never forget your weapon was made by the lowest bidder. If your attack is going really well, it's an ambush. No plan survives the first contact, intact. All five-second grenade fuses will burn down in three seconds. Try to look unimportant because the bad guys might be low on ammo. If you are forward of your position, the artillery will fall short. The enemy diversion you are ignoring is the main attack. The important things are always simple. The simple things are always difficult. The easiest way is always mined. If you are short of everything except enemy, you are in combat. When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy. Incoming fire has the right of way. Friendly fire - isn't. If the enemy is in range, SO ARE YOU! No combat ready unit has ever passed inspection. Beer math is: 2 beers x 37 men = 49 cases. Body count math = 2 guerrillas + 1 portable + 2 pigs = 37 enemy KIA. Things that must be together to work, usually can't be shipped together. Radio's will fail as soon as you need fire support desperately. Anything you do can get you shot - including doing nothing. Tracers work both ways. The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire. Make it tough for the enemy to get in and you can't get out. If you take more than your fair share of objectives, you will have more than your fair share of objectives to take. When both sides are convinced they are about to lose, they are both right. Professional soldiers are predictable, but the world is full of amateurs. OORRAH! Christmas

"Whereas
it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence
of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits
and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and whereas
both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested
me to recommend to the people of the United States a day of
public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging
with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty
God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to
establish a form of "Now,
therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the twenty-sixth
day of November next to be devoted by the people of these States
to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent
author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that
we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our service and
humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people
of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the
signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions
of His providence in the course and "And also that we may unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions, to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government as a blessing to all the people by constantly being a government of wise, just and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among us; and, generally, to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best. "Given
under my hand, at the city of New York, the third day of October,
AD 1789." "You
cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. A
blonde, wanting to earn some extra money, decided to hire herself
out as a "handy woman" and started canvassing a nearby
well-to-do neighborhood. "The
three laws of prosperity: 21 Points To The Good Life ONE. Give people more than they expect, and do it cheerfully. TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, those conversational skills will be as important as any other. THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have, or sleep all you want. FOUR. When you say, "I love you," mean it. FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye. SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married. SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight. EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much. NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely. TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly! No name-calling. ELEVEN.
Don't judge people by their relatives. THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?" FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk. FIFTEEN. Say, "Bless you," when you hear someone sneeze. SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson. SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions. EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice. TWENTY-ONE.
Spend some time alone. "The
beatings stop when the morals improve." "Those
who have never realized peace within themselves should not be
allowed to negotiate for it." "Synergy:
When 1 and 1 equals 11." "Problems
cannot be solved by the same level of thinking at which they
were created." "It
is not the life that matters, it is the courage you bring to
it." "Give
the needs of your mate priority. One parent put it this way:
'A husband and wife are apt to be successful parents when they
put their marriage first. Don't worry about the children getting
second best. Child-centered households produce neither happy
marriages nor happy children.'" "
... Debt at the rate of $1 a second. To pay back $1 million,
he notes, would take just 12 days. To pay off $1 billion at
the same pace would take 32 years. And to pay off $1 trillion
... 32,000 years. These figures are even more sobering when
you recall that our nation is only 200 years old." "The only dignified and effective response to extortion is violence." -- "A fool continues in his folly until he becomes wise." -- "Baroque is when you're out of Monèt!" -- "We do wish that the media would get over this craven concentration upon fear, particularly in connection with those people who were not involved in combat but were sitting home worrying. In our opinion, fear is a dirty word and refers to a natural response to life, which, like some other natural responses, should be kept very private. In our youth, the worst thing you could call a playmate was a coward - "scaredy cat" - and no matter how apprehensive you might be in your own mind, you were not permitted to show it, by your father, your mother, nor your playmates. Fear is quite natural, but in any person of consequence it is suppressed. Flaunting it in front of cameras or for reporters is disgusting -- rather comparable to soiling one's underpants. As the old Indian put it, "The first step in a successful life is the conquest of fear. Once that has been achieved, everything else falls into place." (That is our version of what the old man said in Yaqui.) -- "The
one thing men dread most is death. I have always lived in its
nearness and looked it in the face. So should every one of you
who claim to follow me. I will ride to my death as a bridegroom
does to the house of the bride. Do not grieve for me. For wheresoever
are the Five Pure Ones dedicated to God, there my presence shall
always be." HOW

... So for heaven's sake, let's quit whimpering. In the great
words of Edmund Vance Cooke: "We are dumbfounded to hear about people who join the army without understanding that the purpose of an army is to fight. When you put on that uniform you run the implied risk of sudden, violent death. Doesn't everybody know that?" -- About
marriage ... "Time:
A unit of experience." "I
don't like predictions, especially when the future is involved." "Next fall, when you see geese heading South for the winter ... flying along in V formation ... you might consider what science has discovered as to why they fly that way: "As each bird flaps its wings, it creates uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in V formation the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own. "People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the thrust of one another. "When a goose falls out of formation it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone ... and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front. "If we have as much sense as a goose we will stay in formation with those who are headed the same way we are. "When the head goose gets tired it rotates back in the wing and another goose flies point. "It is sensible to take turns doing demanding jobs with people or with geese flying South. "Geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed. "What do we say when we honk from behind? "Finally ... and this is important ... when a goose gets sick, or it is wounded by gunshots, and falls out of formation, two other geese fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly, or until it dies; and only then do they launch out on their own, or with another formation to catch up with their group. "If
we have the sense of a goose we will stand by each other like
that." ANCIENT

don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything
except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly
discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund,
Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black
