Wize Man Of The Woods Sayings...

A prison is only a prison if one wants to get out.

Codgerisms? Sure! Here's the "Lucky Seven" from my collection:

• A competent man doesn't need luck.

• A good worker doesn't need luck.

• Good luck happens when preparation meets opportunity.

• He's as ugly as the back end of bad luck.

• If rabbits' feet are so lucky, what happened to the rabbit?

• Luck never gives; it only lends.

• You never know what worse luck your bad luck may have saved you from.

… and a few more Codgerisms on life and living:

• Life ain't fair; "Fair" is where you take the livestock to get judged.

• Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how quickly you get up when you fall.

• Life is simpler when you plough around the stumps.

• Life isn't a picnic in the sun; it's a rainy camping trip with your in-laws.

• Life isn't fair; but it's really all you got.

• Live a good and honorable life, then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.

• Live each day with courage.

• Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, and leave the rest to God.

• Living with regrets is like riding a horse that only walks backwards.

If only more people who say they believe in God actually did that.

And I personally love regrets. Feeling regret is a sign that you aren't a cold-blooded psycho. The best way to keep people from making the same mistakes is to make sure they regret what they did. Hell that's what capital punishment is for.
