When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane and going the wrong way. The sooner you fall behind the more time you'll have to catch up. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

Good judgement comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement.
Don't worry about bitin' off more than you can chew. Your mouth is probably much bigger than you think. It doesn't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep. If you find yourself in a hole the first thing to do is stop digging'. A day without sunshine is . . .
