Awesome quote. Words of the wise.
I had a neighbor who was with the NBA for six years where I lived -- we shared a fence so we knew his lifestyle. He always had his "posse" at the house, had a black Escapade and a Hummer, loud music from the cars whenever they came in at 2 a.m., parties by his pool, dope smoke and women, 'livin' the life'. After he was dropped, he played in China for a year, then the last I heard, was broke and arrested in Atlanta for stalking an ex-girlfriend. I doubt he had a father figure in his life, let alone a good one like yours.

Thank you!
My dad was career Navy and often used parables, proverbs, old saws, quotes...
For years I thought it was a Navy thing, but I later noticed that my dad and his brothers were a laconic lot. Some of my cousins too.
Not quiet, but with an economy of words.
