I have always said that Ed Parker was the best for one liners....

It doesn't matter who is right, only who's left.

He who hesitates, meditates in a horizontal position.

When pure knuckles meet pure flesh, that's pure Karate, no matter who executes it or whatever style is involved.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most

Outside of a dog, a book is mans best friend... Inside a dog, it's too dark to read.

Oh yeah, also my signature. I came up with it during an argument about honesty with a wannabe grandmaster.

-Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.

-He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason.

-It is a great thing to know our vices.

-Let your desires be ruled by reason.

-Men decide far more problems by hate, love, lust, rage, sorrow, joy, hope, fear, illusion, or some other inward emotion, than by reality, authority, any legal standard, judicial precedent, or statute.

-Not to know what has been transacted in former times is to be always a child. If no use is made of the labors of past ages, the world must remain always in the infancy of knowledge.

-Our span of life is brief, but is long enough for us to live well and honestly.

-The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquillity, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death.

all by Cicero the great orator.

your bad day is no excuse for bad manners (my dad)

I am the boss in this house...and I have my wifes permission to say so (a favorite joke of my mom's. Dad thought is was pretty funny too.)

Youth and skill will always be overcome by age and treachery

If you think you are wise...you aren't

Wisdom is a result of mostly bad experiences

Just a few to ponder

To err is human... to really foul things up requires a computer.
