In his fifties and divorced, he retired and moved south. After dating for several years, he said to his two sons, "Why is it, when a woman finally finds a man she likes, she tries to change him?"

He would say "Son, you treat people like you expect to be treated!"

That's the best thing he said? Wow

Give a black an inch, and he will take a mile. Most blacks are criminals.
Never trust a Jap. A Jew will screw you every chance he gets. Never ever trust a Muslim. Only fools vote Democrat.

When I was about 8 years old we had a mentally challenged fellow who lived in our neighborhood. Everyone use to make fun of him. My dad didn't get upset easily but this really upset him. He would always spend time talking to this fellow. I asked him one day why. He said, "Every living thing deserves respect, never forget that." He didn't have a lot of education but he was a very wise man and taught me many things. He died when I was 10 from cancer but I've tried to live my life as a legacy to him.

I worked for my father in our family business, and when I messed up, he would always support me by saying, "If you do not do anything wrong, you are not doing anything." I learned the value of that unconditional support only later in life.

First heard around '95:
"There will never be a woman President. Women don't trust each other enough to vote for another woman."
Died in 06, hope he was right.
