Things Worth Remembering

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

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.

R2-D2:        ”That’s a cool one. We’re almost to my house. Can I use that one?”

Obi-Mom:    ”Share your guns with your friend, honey.”
Yoda:          ”Now that’s not something you hear everyday. ‘Share your weapons.’”

Etiquette before destruction.
