Anyone like quotes? I use to think they we’re hearsay, but one of my best friends from college use to say: “Closed mouths don’t get fed!”. I’ve used this quote a lot in my 30’s work wise, asking for promotions, pay raises, etc. I got another one today & I think that individual is in my life for a reason. I’m asking more from my employer than I ever did in my 20’s & I’m reeling in the benefits from it. What’s something wise someone said to you that has advanced you in life?

My dad always said one that has stuck with me, “If you don’t have it now then you don’t need it.” Something he would always say to us when we leave for trips. My mothers that has always stuck with me is a bit more morbid “Life’s a bitch and then you die”

A good horse makes you use the reins more than the spur.

I saw something recently about not saving things you want to say to people until their funeral (not the exact quote) and I had a really nice conversation last night with someone and I’m going to try to live by that more. I think people need to hear how much you love them and how much they’ve meant to you instead of just their other friends and family when they’re dead.

After returning our first crop science tests my freshman year the professor noted "Some of you are college material, and some of you will be tire changers back at your local Coop"
That motivated me to get my crap together the next 4 years at K-State.

I heard that when I was a young man. The ammunition in this case refers to food as it's usually said before eating begins.
This is also the shortened version of full "prayer".
