Best advice or saying
 
What was the best advice or saying someone gave to you recently or in the past! It could be about hunting or whatever.

For hunting it is "aim small miss small" and breath through the nose.

For life I would say "money is the route of all evil but evil spelled backwards is LIVE!

hunting= if you build it they will come, ( food plots )


life= nothing is free, hard work pays off, don't bet on it and a bird in hand is worth two in the bush.

If it is worth doing, then it is worth overdoing.

Hunting is a lot like sales; a large part of success is exposure.

When I was shooting my longbow at the shop for the first time, an old-timer saw me struggling and walked over and said this:

"Son, that ain't no gun you're shootin'... Quit tryin' so hard to aim and just feel the shot."

For a "life quote", I've always been partial to this one:

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain."

"Respect the man in the mirror and the rest will be easy."

"At the end of the day, only GOD and YOU really know the truth. Can you live with that???"
Both of the tops ones were told to me as a young may growing up, living a less than perfect life. Lots of fighting, was done during those days, but in the end, I still do respect the "Man in the mirror."

Archery - "Aim small, miss small."

"The choices we make, dictate the lives that we lead, to thine ownself be true."
- Shakespeare

Probably the MOST profound would have been when accompanying an Oncologist (Cancer Dr.) in to counsel a patient with cancer......

"You got TWO choices. Those choices aren't Chemo vs. Radiation, Surgery vs. Chemo, they are Living or Dying. You have to decide whether you are going to go on LIVING or go on DYING. Each and every day of our lives we are LIVING
andDYING, but you choose which you do on that day. So are you ready to "Go on LIVING," or "Go on DYING???"

Last one.....

"God wouldn't give you more than you could handle."

Winners keep track of results. Losers keep track of reasons. George Sheehan

Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances -- it was somebody's name, or he happened to be there at the time, or it was so then, and another day would have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself - and be lenient to everybody else.
-Henry Ward Beecher

In hunting....hunt with a game plan, don't just stumble around in the woods.

LOL.....SPeaking of grandmothers.....:D

I was living in Monroe, NC.....dating a girl....and she took me to a family event. When we met her grandmother.....she asked my girlfriend what we'd been doing, lately. She told grandma we'd been out'til 2AM the night before....listening to music.

Grandma never even looked up and said......"Ain't nuthin' open at 2AM 'cept girls legs".

Grandmothers! You gotta love them. Grandmothers and two year olds have something in common, they both tell it like it is and don't give a crap about PC. My aunt (84 years old) said something about girls who stay out late have two things on their mind. 1. Getting married; and 2. Hoping the baby comes after the wedding.
