Drink today, and drown all sorrow;
You shall perhaps not do it tomorrow;
Best, while you have it, use your breath;
There is no drinking after death.

—Ben Jonson

My dad and I have golfed together for years, almost always poorly — the ultimate duffers. But I love my dad's attitude — if he scuffs it along the ground 20 yards instead of the 200 to the green as he planned, his response will almost always be: "Well, forward is good." 

I think that's good advice for most things in life.

What's with the title? I see a 00 over 92 where the I in 'is' should be in a square box.

Bonnie was tortured by alcohol for years. I saw her live a lot during that time and she would always have some sad comments to throw in between songs.
I haven't seen her since she sobered up, but when "Nick Of Time" came out I could tell something had really changed for her.

I heard Bonnie Raitt say it on Austin City Limits. Not sure if it's hers or if she was perhaps quoting someone else. It's become one of my favorites, I've repeated it often.

Hope you're doing well, Larry :)

Religion is for people afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for those who have been there.

This version was quoted by Abraham Lincoln: 

There is so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us, that it ill behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us.

- Edward Hoch

also the modern version quoted by my grandmother, whom I miss dearly, on many occaisons:

There is so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly becomes any of us to talk about the rest of us.

"You know, men and women are a lot alike in certain situations. Like when they're both on fire - they're exactly alike. "
