Things Worth Remembering

The three habits that lead to success are: Patience, Application, and Vision.

Take care: The person who will tell others' faults to you - will tell yours to others.

It is always better to be underestimated.

There are three things that are better than riches: Health, Freedom, and Honor.

Think swiftly, speak softly, act wisely.

"The world is neither Scottish, English, nor Irish, neither French, Dutch, nor Chinese, but human, and each nation is only the partial development of a universal humanity." - James Grant on founding the National Association for the Vindication of Scottish Rights, 1862

Flying is for droids.

“Flying is for droids.”  -  Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith

 

Sailing is a much more refined way to travel. No tickets to lose, no elbowing your way through baggage inspection, no hordes of people waiting for the bathrooms. Just you, a passport, your travel buddies (and their passports) and the open water. It sounds like heaven to me. Then again, I also don’t get sea sick.

I could use some sunny, summer days after this past week. And no, that is not us in the video, but rather some people that we love very, very much.

May the Force be with us all, Share!

    • I’m deathly afraid of boats and all things boat-related so . . . no sailing for me, LOL.

      I’ve been tippy-toeing around your blog for the past few months. It’s really interesting. I sort of ended up here by way of Topsy-Techie, Freakmom, SabrinaT, Ami.Mental, and who knows who else . . . I guess it’s a small world after all.

      I thought I lived with he two biggest Star Wars fans on the planet, but now I’m not so sure. Good Stuff!

    • I certainly am glad to have you visiting – and commenting, I love comments!

      Ooooooooooh…..the yearnings in my heart! I grew up on the Great Lakes and have the water in my blood. I used to be in Sea Scouts too and got to sail a little bit. It is intoxicating!

      I love your quotes from Star Wars…did I tell you that already? ;) Those writers pack a lot of stuff into sentences.
