Isn’t there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?”
“Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about,” said Linus.
“Lights, please.”
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
When he is finished with that last line, Linus turns to the audience: “That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.”

“WHO EVER SAID MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS OBVIOUSLY NEVER PAID FOR DIVORCE.”
A friend tried sky diving, a dream he considered for years. He made two flights from a small rural airstrip. First he landed in an extremely tall, dead tree....it took the FD hours to get him down. Second....the plane's engine stalled on takeoff. Everyone ended up in a tall tree though still safely strapped in....it took hours for the FD to get them all down safely.
He chose to not make a third attempt.

Also - if it don’t fit don’t force it - use a bigger hammer
When I was 16, an old biker told me "when riding a motorcycle, if you can't eat it in one sitting, don't hit it"

Around high school time I worked in a gas station doing various non mechanic things. Pumping gas, tire changes, fan belts, oil changes etc......
The other guy I worked with had a pet name for the extra large hammer he'd resort to if the regular one was not persuasive enough.
While a car owner and I were watching him tapping away, unsuccessful, to try to straighten out a bent muffler hanger he turns to me and says "I'm going to need the BFH"
Customer asks "what's a BFH"
My response was "The Big F....... Hammer"

The BFH for when you don't RTFM!
An aviators corollary, but could also apply to riding motorcycles:
Never pass up food, fuel, or a bathroom!

Which is why an acetylene torch is also referred to as a heat wrench.
In the welding world where I worked, we always referred to it as a flame wrench. Very useful in many situations.

We had a saying in the Air Force.
There's never enough time to do the job right the first time, but there's always enough time to do the job later the right way.
