QUOTE
We’re lost, but we’re making good time.
It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.
If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.
When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
Make a game plan and stick to it. Unless it’s not working.
Listen up, because I’ve got nothing to say and I’m only gonna to say it once.
You can observe a lot by just watching.
Ninety percent of all mental errors are in your head.
The future ain’t what it used to be.
I’d give my right arm to be ambidextrous.
You should always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise, they won’t come to yours.
