beginner shooter Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) I heard this one today and found some wisdom in it. "If I had 6 hours to cut down a tree, I would spend the first hour sharpening the axe." Edited May 21, 2010 by beginner shooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I've always like that one. But I thought I remembered it as... "I'd spend the first four sharpening the axe." [!] be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babymathew Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I added here few more: Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. Avoid popularity if you would have peace. A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have. A woman is the only thing I am afraid of that I know will not hurt me.

Those first one is awesome, the second brilliant as well as hilarious. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
