Comments on my Favorite quotes - Moral

• Les signaux sexuels des femmes sont trop subtils pour être compris par un homme.
  • hm, not sure I understand this statement....well this seems to confirm the quote already, no?  
  • But I know one thing, when my wife said she wanted me, and when I agreed then she took my hand and sqeezed it hard, it wasn't that subtile !

• Never ask a man what he is thinking. He simply thinks of nothing, or ... 
  • That's another topic not for this site.
    But see also next quote... 
• Regretting something is the second error you make
  • A real meant "sorry" can make things be forgiven, but it never gets forgotten
  • Make sure to only do things that do not need to be forgiven
    But see also next quote... 
• Never do anything against your conscience, said Einstein,
  • even if your army officer, a minister, or the country asks you to do so.

Happiness

• Shake the hand of a person you made happy, and be sure something of it sticks on yours.
  • in English : make each other happy
  • translated : do to others what you would like to be done to you
  • translated (again) : if you are a bad person yourself, you will more easily think that all the others are bad too
  • translation for the "dur de comprenure" : be a gentlemen on the road, in a car, as a pedestrian, as a biker, and you will discover that suddenly they all stop for you ways away before the zebra crossing, big and small cars alike. I found trafic in Basel very gentle, very relaxed...only here and there an occasional testosteron showcase 

Education

• Give always the good example, because this is what your kids will do later after a turbulent adolescnce (says BaslerBiker)
• All forms of punishment should be abolished on Earth and beyond, as well for your kids as for you favorite pets. Only confirming and rewarding the good things that people do will educate them.
• A study showed correlation between criminals and the fact that they never got a chance to see their parents and/or grandparents. It's this duality of parents saying"no you can't" and grandparents who say "yes dear, here is a sweet", that gives "direction" to young people. Youngsters can "behave cool" and "be loud" and may have the need and seek ways to express themselves extravagantly in order to be "noticed" ... but what they actually look for and what they do not get today from our society is "good examples" and "guidance".
• Isn't TV and News not giving attention to all the bad things of the world
  No wonder we have cases like recently in Norway, or USA and UK.
• I live without news or TV, and I am more and more fan of Kanguru houses, 3 generations living together (as long as the walls are well isolated)

Happy Couple

• Respect your wife, dress up well, behave like a gentleman, make yourself "lovable".
  She will dress up for you, and love you like no other
  (says the Bible...not your lifestyle magazine !)

• Marriage lasts as long as you can make her laugh at least three times a day, and spend at least 3 hours with each other every day (plus the night! of course)
  (said BaslerBiker) 

Worldwide Peace

• The two words that would lead to worldwide peace, without any doubt or discussion, are "Respect" and "Tollerance". Not freedom of speech, not democracy.

Freedom

• Freedom is being able to do all what I want
  • I am pretty sure you would agree
  • yet you misunderstood me ...like anyone else does !
  • the accent should be on "what I want", not on "all"
  • ... if I stick to the rules of tolerance and respect
  • ... and not "want" to do those things that are not permitted / accepted
  • ... then I may want a bit less
  • ... yet I would feel perfectly free

Rule : want less, feel more free

Actually : some yougsters in Moscou declared that, despite some restrictions of whatever imposed by the law or state, they feel like perfectly happy in the country...be happy with what you have, do not want more and more and more...beware of publicity and malicious adverts that make you want to have things and show off...

Professional deseases

• The yet undiscovered professional illness (which will be named after me, I am sure) that infects IT programmers, is that they hit people like a Return Button, and think "it" will do whatever they had in mind...
  
  And I was a victim of this...but I am almost cured !!
