Never under estimate an idiot, as they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

This one is pretty clever and always one of my favorites...I think it is roughly paraphrased from Shakespeare:

"I would challenge you to a battle of wits but I see you are unarmed".

(I posted this on another automotive forum and got the post deleted and a very stern warning (Zero Tolerance! ) from a moderator for a violation of "section 8" of the forum rules -- which I cannot find. Go figure! I assume the moderator thought this was about politics or religion, which was not the spirit in which I posted it. Whatever... )

And stop idolizing influencers and media/sport/music personalities. Most of them are not good role models.

“Religion hates relationship.”

“The key ingredient to the Christian faith is intimacy with God the Father.”

“It is diligently to be noted, the faith, which brings not forth repentance, and love, and all good works, is not that right living faith which is here spoken of, but a dead and devilish one.”

-John Wesley
