my grandfather flew p-51s in Europe, two tours. My dad told me that he always said that there were old fighter pilots, and there were bold fighter pilots, but there are no old, bold fighter pilots.
I can think of one or two old, bold pilots, sadly no longer with us, but that generation are disappearing fast now.

Just since I saw it, the spelling of William Shakespeare's name:

Neither Tiny Dancer nor Janus are correct, actually. There are perhaps 50 signatures of "Shakespeare" that survived, and not a single one is spelled with "William" or "Shakespeare". In fact, he never spelled his name the same way twice.

Wm Shakspr is actually more accurate, though it doesn't matter one bit, as "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

Don't sweat the petty stuff, pet the sweaty stuff.

“I remember one desolate Sunday night, wondering: Is this how I´m going to spend the rest of my life? Marrid to someone who is perpetually distracted and somewhat wistful, as though a marvelous party is going on in the next room, which but for me he could be attending?”

― Suzanne Finnamore


“Her words were like tinfoil; they shone and they covered things up.”

― Helen Cross, My Summer of Love


“We’re a different sort of thief here, Lamora. Deception and misdirection are our tools. We don’t believe in hard work when a false face and a good line of bullshit can do so much more.”

If you must take up a challenge, then do so, but do it with all your heart, it's not wether you failed or were successful, but that you tried with all your heart.

I've come to believe shame is the most useless of emotions anyway- rarely does it compel one to behave in a manner befitting their ideals. It usually just makes one lethargic and secretive, hiding their shame rather than owning it and being free.

I have made mistakes in my life that have cost others! I am selfish and lazy at times! I can be thoughtless and insensitive, and I AM NOT ASHAMED!

2) Advice for the day: If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle:  "Take two aspirin" and "Keep away from children."

5) "If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there is a man on base."
--Dave Barry
 
6) "Relationships are hard.  It's like a full time job, and we should treat it like one.  If your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to leave you, they should give you two weeks' notice.  There should be severance pay, the day before they leave you, they should have to find you a temp."

7) "My Mom said she learned how to swim when someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat.  I said, 'Mom, they weren't trying to teach you how to swim.'"

"When I was a kid and we went to a shoe store, the salesman said that my brother and I could each have a balloon. My brother wanted a red balloon and I wanted a pink balloon. My mother said, 'I think you'd really rather have a blue balloon.' And I said no, I really wanted a pink balloon and she said that my favorite color was blue. Now, my favorite color is blue, and I'm still gay." -- Andrew Solomon
