[wingfoot]

Lie to a liar, for lies are his coin; steal from a thief, for that is easy; lay a trap for the trickster and catch him at the first attempt, but beware of an honest man.

Louis L'Amour

The Walking Drum

[wingfoot]

... looked up in darkness at the hand-hewn rafters. A knowing hand had shaped them, a knowing hammer drove the pegs. There is a quiet beauty in such things as these, a beauty more than paint or chisel make, the beauty of quiet men, making strong things for their own use, shaping each piece with loving fingers.

[Jim Morrison]

"How do you maintain a handmade life, live your vision, find joy in making a living?

Trust gut feelings, question decisions based on fear, and never linger where the truth cannot be spoken and the soul can't sing."

Reminds me of a quote that reinforces yours: "The power of a man's virtue should not be measured by his special efforts, but by his ordinary doing." - Blaise Pascal

[MelB]

There is a phrase that I draw on a lot. It is deeper than it sounds, bu I will never forget the words my dear mother spoke to me on the evening of my 21st birthday. "Get your pants back on, and get out of the road!"

Then, there is the ever popular "It is far better to ask forgiveness than permission"
