Words of Wisdom - "J and K"

Jealously guard the values and principles of our heritage.  They did not come easy.

Jeanettics

Jewish Telegram: “Start worrying. Details to follow.”

Jews Contribution to World:  Hope and Dissatisfaction

Job description: high stress, low priority.

Jobs was like dynamite. Dynamite clears paths, but it also destroys everything around it.

Jogging precipitates; it does not settle.

Joi Ito: Resilience over Strength. Pull over Push. Risk over Safety. Systems over Objects. Compasses over Maps. Practice over Theory. Disobedience over Compliance. Emergence over Authority. Learning over Education.

Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.

Judge of your natural character by what you do in your dreams.

Jump and find your wings on the way down.

Jump on it like a bulldog on a meat truck.

Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed.

Just because it came first doesn’t mean it caused the later event

Just because it happened to you doesn’t make it interesting.

Just because it’s math doesn’t mean it’s good math.

Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to, doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.

Just because something has the feel of truth, doesn't mean it fits the facts.

Just because something’s popular doesn’t mean it’s bad.

Just because the river is quiet doesn't mean the crocodiles have left.

Just because will is free does not mean that we pay no price for exercising it.

Just because you can reproduce doesn’t mean you should.

Just because you don’t yell doesn’t mean you’re not being mean. 

Just because you killed a cow doesn’t mean you’re gonna eat steak for dinner. There’s lots of messy work to do, and none of it is easy.

Just because you love clothes doesn’t mean you love shopping.

Just because you run a business, it doesn’t mean you’re entitled to a profit.

Just because you're lost, don't think your compass is broken.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that someone's not out to get you.

Just because your doctor has a name for your condition doesn’t mean he knows what it is.

Just being in a room with myself is almost more stimulation than I can bear.

Just like Jell-o on springs.

Just the three of us-you and me and all that stuff we're scared of.

Just when I nearly had the answer, I forgot the question.

Just showing up is 80% of the game.

Just when you think nothing is going to change, everything changes.

Justice limps along…but it gets there just the same.

Justice must not only be done but must be seen to be done.



K.G.O.Y.  -  kids grow older younger

Keep a clear eye and hit 'em where they ain't.

Keep an eye on the main chance.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.  Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.

Keep me in your heart for a while.

Keep pounding away and the breaks will come.

Keep reminding yourself that literature is one of the saddest roads that leads to everything.

Keep something in reserve.

Keep something in the tank.

Keep within your heart a place for dreams.

Keep your friends close to you, but keep your enemies closer.

Keep your kids short on pocket change and long on hugs.

Keep your plans dark and impenetrable as night and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.

Keep your principles few and simple so you may refer to them at a moment’s notice.

Keeping it simple is a complicated business.

Key it as you see it.

Key to success:           Know what you’re doing
                                    Like what you’re doing
                                    Believe in what you’re doing

Kick ass and break glass.

Killing for peace is like fucking for virginity.

Killing time is not murder, it's suicide.

Kindness feels good, even when it’s based on a false notion of your identity and purpose.

Kindness alone won’t solve the world’s problems.

Kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises.

Knock on old doors.

Know before you go.

Know what you should know.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
Willing is not enough; we must do.

Knowing that tragedies befall everyone, and that, although one may seem singled out for special sorrows, worse things have happened many times to others in the world, and it is not tears, but determination, that makes pain bearable.

Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.

Knowledge doesn't become power until it's used.

Knowledge is the only instrument of production that is not subject to diminishing returns.

Knowledge should be advanced at all costs.
