Got these off Fire Nuggets:
1. Experience is what you get, just after you needed it.
2.To make a mistake is human. To blame it on someone else shows your management potential.
3.The older I get, the better I was.
4.The more you bleed in training, the less you bleed in battle!
5.Ever notice the guys with the blackest helmets always have the cleanest turnout pants?
6."It's best to keep your mouth shut, and let them think you a fool; than open it and remove all doubt."
7.There are three types of men: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what just happened. Which one are you?
