Know your limitations, Drive, Invention

Never eat more than you can lift.
~ Miss Piggy
 
My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose.
~ Bette Davis
 
I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble.
~ Agatha Christie

Patience, Parents, Humor

Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.
~ Leonardo da Vinci
 
Parents were invented to make children happy by giving them something to ignore.
~ Ogden Nash
 
One doesn't have a sense of humor. It has you.
~ Larry Gelbart

Love, Skiing, Obstacles

For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most
difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the
work for which all other work is but preparation.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Skiing combines outdoor fun with knocking down trees with your face.
~ Dave Barry

If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere.
~ Frank A. Clark
