I've heard something like that before. Must be because half my family is Sicilian...

Its from a movie, The Princess Bride, so its in the wrong thread. But OK, its philosophical. What I like about the movie isthe self disparaging things the hero says to the question "Who are you?"Things like "Someone of no consiquence.", or "Someone not to be trifled with." When someone asked, "Please, I must know." he said "Get used to disappointment."

This is something that occurred to me during yet another motivational seminar.

'The glass is neither half empty nor half full, merely 100% larger than it needs to be'.

I have no clue how to apply it to anything though.

If you feel like you need to change the person you are with, maybe you shouldn't be with them at all.

And a related one liner...

If you feel like you need to change the person you are with, it's probably you who needs to change yourself.

And if you ever hear a Judge call himself a born again Christian, that is how you know he is full of sh#t!!!

(Or a governor that lets anyone get the death penalty for that matter...)
