Words of Wisdom

When my son John was growing up, he was real quiet. One day, he must have been around nine years old, we were driving over to my brother Chico's house. After about 10 minutes of silence I asked, "John, why don't you ever say anything?"
He looked at me, paused, and then said, "I will when I have something to say."

Ted Terrific

Ted Balestreri, the famous restaurateur, once said, "I was a very wealthy kid. My father left me in America, and he left me character. I figure that's about as rich as you want to get." In addition, he said that his father left him with the whole world to make a living in, "so I wasn't encumbered."
With an attitude like that, it's not surprising that Ted is not only a successful businessman, but also, more importantly, a successful human being.
God bless Ted, and God Bless America.

In the early 1930s, young Sim miraculously found himself in the middle of a neighbor's grape arbor. While was stuffing his face with the fruit of the vine, the unhappy owner spotted him and rang up his father.
Finally, with a belly full of grapes, Sim headed home, As soon as he walked in the back door, his dad, in a stern voice asked, "Where were you?" He no sooner got the words out of his mouth when Sim threw up what seemed like a half of vineyard. More grapes than either one of them ever wanted to see.
"Well, I guess you suffered enough," his dad said with a twinkle in his eye, knowing full well that his son had learned a grapeful lesson.

Wilbur's Hope

Upon finishing installing shelves, drawers, etc., to organize our closets, Wilbur, a Southern lad with ears so huge that he looked like a taxi going down the road with both back doors open, stopped in the kitchen and explained that he had just finished the job.
"But," he continued, "I forgot the retractable valets (hangers). I'll bring them over tomorrow and put'em up."
"Just drop them off and I'll install them."
"Are you sure you know how?" he questioned.
"Hey, I'm not as dumb as I look." I replied.
"Gosh," he said, staring intently at me and shaking his head hard enough to make his dumbo-sized ears wobble, "I sure hope not!"

The Notre Dame Fan

I had two kids graduate from the University of Notre Dame and sometimes I wonder why I'm still a ND fan. First, they've got all money. Second, I didn't go there and third, their football team sucks!

Wisdom

Never confuse education with wisdom. Education is a learning process by which one gains knowledge. Wisdom is the ability to use that knowledge, along with understanding, compassion, and common sense, to make good decisions that are unencumbered by personal preferences and prejudice. Perhaps the inability to eliminate one's own feelings and intolerance's from one's judgments and conclusions is why there are so few truly wise men.

Can He Overcome?

Even though I didn't vote for Obama, I hope he has the mindset, wisdom, and courage, to do what if truly best for the country in these trying times. If so, he could become one of our greatest presidents. For greatness is achieved by overcoming what are supposedly insurmountable obstacles.
