From lawyer friends. "If it looks like a duck, waddles like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck". "Justice is a process, not necessarily an outcome". "I have never met a lawyer that didn't have two hands". (ie, lawyers can argue both sides of a case with equal vigor). "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

When I was in car dealership parts departments when faced with an unreasonable demand from a customer amongst ourselves we would say "It's not my car, my car runs fine." Made several calls and had the request run through a couple of salvage yards for a like kind and quality engine for a ten year old car, every thing I found had well over 100k, several year old car. Aftermarket warranty company insisted on us finding one, needed one with 50k or less on the odometer.The adjuster started giving me a hard time, I finally responded with "It's in the junkyard for a reason not related to the ash tray being overfilled or the floor mats were worn out, if you want a used one so bad you find it." They finally bought a factory reman one. -------------------------------------—————— ————————--Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even, usually, surpassing knowledge(E.J.Potter, A.K.A.

Sadly it seems to be... "You can't see it from my house."
My grandfather's was "Good enough for a whore house, never make it in a church.' My guides to live (work) by have always been: If you've done things right, people will wonder if you really did anything at all. There's nothing you can't get accomplished if you're willing to let someone else take the credit. There's nothing you can't get done if you can convince someone else that it was their idea. None particularly great for people wanting the spotlight or career climbers.  _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

One regarding buying quality tools as a tradesman. "A foolish man scrimps on his shoes, and his feet make him pay for it every time he wares them. A wise man splurges on his shoes, and his feet repay him every time he wears them". Ie, for tradesmen, buy the best tools you can. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

If you see me running, try to keep up. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. -- | |||

From accounting/finance/auditing. How to get good numbers. The CEO of a firm asked me to SWAG a number for the auditors. WAG, Wild A** Guess. SWAG, Scientific Wild A** Guess, meaning make a WAG and put it on a spreadsheet, then it becomes "scientific". "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.
