Time is relative, lunch-time doubly so. -- William Wonka, esq.
When all is said and done, a lot more is said than done. -- (I don't remember)

"*Why* can't you have an attention span that lasts a lifetime? Time is short - paying attention means you enjoy more of it."
"Perspective and time show you what is important. Look up from the ground so that you can remember that in the moment you are in."
Both of those from my aikido instructor in Japan. He also said, "Remember to duck." which is possibly the more useful statement.
Personally, I would offer: "Do not, under any circumstances, allow Euan to drive." but that may have limited application.

Just seeing that you're from New Hope. I practically grew up there, at least on the weekends. :-)
