Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates...

"If you don't know where you are goin', you will probably not wind up there."

"Do not make excuses unless you have to."

"Always try to do the right thing, unless your conscience tells you otherwise."

"You got to cry, do it by yourself, and be quick about it."

"Most people don't look dumb 'til they start talkin'."

"To save energy, do not go out lookin' for trouble; chances are, it will find you soon enough."

"Always be nice to your mama."

"Whatever you do, try to have a reason to do it."

"Nobody ever got into trouble by keepin' his mouth shut."

"Always be ready to take a chance: Look what it did for Rocky."

"If you can't sing good, sing loud."

"Do not put stock in newspapers; you can find out more by lookin' around at what is goin' on."

"People not to talk about to: 1. Your teacher, 2. 1st Sergeants. 3. The police, 4. Your mama."

"Life is like a rubber band; harder you go forward, harder you snap back. So do not make slip-ups."

"If you see a line, go stand in it. Probably can't hurt nothin'."

"Always say 'thank you,' even if you don't mean it."

"Always save enough money for one phone call and one use of a pay toilet."

"Do not eat anything you do not know what it is."

"There are times when you cannot let the right thing stand in your way."

"Do not cry over skim milk."
