Your daily moment of Zen....

Given that I appear to be the currently most senior member of this forum, I felt it only fair to share some of the Pearls of Wisdom I have accumulated during my long and well-spent (present) life. Feel free to share these with others, as knowlege can only be a good thing.... Enjoy.....! ;)


Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either. Just bugger off !!

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tyre.

It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbour's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

Sex is like air. It's not important unless you aren't getting any.

Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

No one is listening until you fart.

Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.

Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.

If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat & drink beer all day.

If you lend someone £20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

If you drink, don't park; accidents cause people

Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield.

Don't worry, it only seems kinky the first time.

Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes of bad judgment

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Timing has an awful lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

A closed mouth gathers no foot.

Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side & a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.

Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your mouth is moving.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Never miss a good chance to shut up.

We are born naked, wet, and hungry. Then things get worse.

    There is a danger when one follows a particular Faith, discipline, philosophy, creed - what you will - that there is so much effort concentrated on 'doing it right' that humour and lightening up is forgotten, or considered inappropriate... I have known many, countless well-meaning people in all walks of Life, so intent on their Path and Purpose, they needed a laughter implant! I'm sure we've all met them...so I jus' figured a giggle wouldn't go amiss! They're all funny, but some of them do have a ring of Truth....!
    I'm sure other contributions would be welcome, but let's not descend into the "A/S/L do you wannna go private?" level - !! :lol:

    If there is no self,
    whose arthritis is this?

    One zen student said, “My teacher is the best. He can go days without eating.”
    The second said, “My teacher has so much self-control, he can go days without sleep.”
    The third said, “My teacher is so wise that he eats when he’s hungry and sleeps when he’s tired.”

    Wherever you go, there you are.
    Your luggage is another story.

    Q: Why don't Buddhists vacuum in the corners?
    A: Because they have no attachments.
