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

I'm betting heavily on Sebulba.

Qui-Gon: “You don’t think Anakin will win?”
Watto: “Don’t get me wrong. I have great faith in the boy. He’s a credit to your race, but Sebulba there is going to win, I think.”
Qui-Gon: “Why?”
Watto: “He always wins. (laughs) I’m betting heavily on Sebulba.”

Ga oranje!
Hup Holland Hup!

Wij zijn Nederlands,
Wij zijn oranje,
Hup Holland Hup!

I weet dat het slecht nu kijkt, maar ik weet ook dat zij het doen kunnen. Wij houden van oranje voetbal.

Update: Damn Sebulba.

May the Force be with us all, Share!

    • We wore orange. We came back early from our holiday to watch the game. We had gouda cheese even. It depresses me greatly

    • Karen

      Not enough orange carrots. :)

    • Jen

      Is this in reference to the now-over World Cup? I don’t speak Dutch, so I can’t even translate! We were rooting for the Netherlands, when we were watching the game whilst in Vegas.

    • It is indeed.

      In a nutshell, I said that although things look bad, I know the Dutch team can do it. I also said that we love Dutch soccer

      ‘t would appear that I was wrong about the end result of the game.
