A place to put any pearls of wisdom, or just phrases that made you think, or laugh.

My grandfather always used to say, if you were supposed to like it, they wouldn't call it work.

Friend of mine frequently used 'well it's better to be hung like a horse than shot like a dog'.

Odd thing was he used it almost randomly
