A little Wiseguy Wisdom for this Monday...
-

Don Calogero advises,

"Stai molto attento a cio' che desideri. Perché' il tuo desiderio possa avverarsi."

[Translated from Italian]

"Be very careful what you wish for. Because your wish could come true."

"Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I Die, You are forgiven. If I Live, I will kill you." Such is the rule of honor." -Lamb of God (band) - Omerta (song)

1000%...That thinking, was, and still is, the rule of thumb for some people who have been taught that mentality.

But, in todays world, its generally a much different mindset. People run like rabbits over every little thing.

Bravo!

Good post.

Thanks bud. Btw, check this one out...

"You know the irony of life is that you have like this big dream to get where you wanna be. But once you get there you start to dream about where you came from. I guess that's the part of the circle of our lives, like the hands of a clock going round. If only we could wind them back and return to a time where the dream began. It's all too soon that's all we'll be is a dream in someone's mind.” - Joseph Bruce a.k.a. Violent J

Another statement thats so true...

"The haters and naysayers of the world will watch you walk on water, but will always try and dismiss it...saying that it's simply because you cannot swim."

Pay no attention to them!

"The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits." - Albert Einstein

"Never attempt to win by force, what can be won by deception" - Niccolo Machiavelli (The Prince)

Our very own "Don" Calogero offers up a few wise words for us today...

"Pay very close attention to all those who don't clap when you win!"

Confucius advises...

"Nothing limits intelligence more than ignorance"

An inspirational quote for this Sunday from many years ago...

"Success is not final, and failure is not fatal, It is the courage to continue that counts." — Winston S. Churchill

. So True. No matter good or bad you just gotta keep plugging away

100%...It's the stuff that makes winners out of potential losers.

Confucius say...

"Fake friends are like shadows. Always near you at your brightest moments, but nowhere to been seen at your darkest hour."

Nice one. As youngsters, we used to be proud of the large number of so-called "friends" but as life passes by, we all ended up with the number of real friends which you can count them all on one hand. So I would rather walk with only one friend in the dark, than completely alone in the light.

Thats so true TD. Unfortunately, most of us learn these lessons too late in life.

Heres another one...

"You can liken some so-called friends to pennies...two-faced and worthless."

"Don" Calogero advises us that...

Forgot to give +1 on this one. Cheers

Whenever feeble minded characters, with an “agenda,” dare open their mouths to spout nonsense, 99 percent of the time, out of 100, GBB’s wily old mafioso Don Calogero just says, “Siediti e Statti Zitto!”

In fact, make that "101" percent of the time!

. Agenda driven people are the worst.

No doubt about it. Lol. "hidden agendas" no less.
