"A Man Has Got to Recognize His Limitations" I know that's not it word for word but it is how I remember it and I also try to live by it... not a great Clint movie but a really true quote. That's why I don't drink, gamble or chase women.... I ain't worth a damn at any of them. My Native American Name: "Runs with Scissors" | |||

Those truly are words to live by. I was going to post the same. While there may be some other good life advice lines from other movies, the above line from The Shawshank Redemption truly is the best advice ever given in a movie. At least in my opinion. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

Not sure if it was wisdom, but it was funny under the circumstances in the movie: "Always remember, no matter where you go... <pregnant pause> ..."there you are." The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai: Across the Eighth Dimension *** "Aut viam inveniam aut faciam (I will either find a way or make one)." -- Hannibal Barca | |||
