    1-Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. ...

    2-We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. ...

    3-If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

    Did you hear about the guy who put on a clean pair of socks every day of the week?

    "In America, we learn from our setbacks as well as our successes and although the lessons of failure are hard, they're often the most important on the road to progress. We've learned in these past few months that we are frail and fallible, but we have also learned that we have the courage to face our faults and the strength to correct our errors. Because we don't hide our mistakes, we are not condemned to repeat them. Because we are an open society we have room to grow. We can count on their courage to pull us through the hard places." Ronald Reagan, from his remarks on the Rogers Commission (Challenger disaster review board)

    The best measure of a man's honesty isn't his income tax return. It's the zero adjust on his bathroom scale.

    What is interesting is that a QUIP is a witty remark or joke, not sage advice.
