K-I-Smet Almost Done

Time is a man made construct whose sole purpose is to bring an ordered form to the 
events of our lives. It has no place in the overall picture where what is…is, and what 
isn’t may be but remains to be seen.

When you have just slipped and cut off your foot with an axe…that is not the time to 
worry if you damaged its cutting edge.

To fear death is to fear life, neither one do we get a vote in, and both will occur 
whether we like it or not.

BETWEEN BLACK AND WHITE ARE COUNTLESS SHADES OF GREY. IF THESE SHADES 
OF GREY ARE NOT CONSIDERED, FACTORED, AND APPLICABLE, THE INDIVIDUAL 
NATURE OF THINGS IS FOR ALL PURPOSES DENIED.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. If not pass a law that 
says it must be.

If we pull onto a road and drive long enough without exiting, we are assured in 
arriving exactly where it leads.

When somebody else holds the reins of your mount, do not expect a pleasant ride.

The only way to insure your vote does not count, is to not use it.

Just because we choose not to accept or believe does not mean it is not true.

It is ok to have an opinion on everything…if you are willing to change one or two a 
day. In other words be careful of trying to project your beliefs on any situation, 
because at the bottom line the truth is, and belief is merely that…belief. Take your 
time and seek the truth.

It is ridiculous to claim anybody died before their time. Every person is guaranteed 
by birth exactly the amount of time they have coming…Thank you Lord

If caught in an avalanche, a wise man does not place his trust in an umbrella.

It is not cowardice if you are merely choosing your field of battle.

If your goal is victory remember it does not have to happen today.

A wise man takes his time and wins…fools rush to their defeat.

There are no accidents…everything is founded in cause and effect. 

The greatest impediment to the truth… is belief.

The journey of self discovery is but eternity in length.
