El Presidente Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Always remember two that dad told me: You must always remember there's two things you can't take back - a spent arrow and the spoken word.

shrink Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Graciously accept the problems that come with success. They are infinitely preferable to those that accompany failure. Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is the determination to do one's duty in spite of fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rascalmonkey Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 my favorite quote from my dad: "the difference between a man and a boy is ... a boy will never accept responsibility for his actions. It is always someone else's fault. A man acknowledges his failings and takes full responsibility for them." or something like that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could use them in our book. A couple that I always tried to follow: "Never demand perfection of yourself, simply demand the best that you can possibly give!" "Always respect all people, from the floor cleaners to the CEO, because when you need something desperately, you usually need to rely on the people under you more than you rely on the people above you" "Always feel gratefull for what you have! Never be jelous of what you dont!" Ross... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 You are going to make mistakes in life. I will be there to help and hope you don’t make the same mistake twice. Because if you do. I will put you in the ground and have another that looks just like you! Dad always beats around the bush. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Presidente Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Dear Mr Gargett It may come as a huge surprise but all quotes did not originate from Rugby or cricket. The quote in question: "Four things come not back: the spoken word, the spent arrow, the past, the neglected opportunity." -Omar Idn Al-Halif It is possible that Allan Jones read it on the toilet door in England but more likely he just had a book of famous quotes. I miss my dad greatly. Your slandering of him was cruel and unnecessary but competely in charachter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIGARHead Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 This basically sums up life: "Never play cards with a guy named Doc. Never eat at a place called Mom's. And never have sex with anybody who has more problems than you do." Follow this advice, all should be fine and dandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Gargett Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 thanks lisa. was aware of that and going to suggest to rob that if he missed his dad so much, he should pop round the corner more often and see him. tell him to take a partagas on sit on his dad's knee. fantasies do come true. and rob should know thsat rugby is a metaphor for life (i would say sport but perhaps not just at the moment).
