DRINK, STEAL, SWEAR AND LIE DRINK, STEAL, SWEAR & LIE I met this guy while I was in Albuquerque and he has a motto he lives by everyday. He said listen carefully and live by these 4 rules : Drink, Steal, Swear, & Lie. I was shaking my head 'no', but he then told me to listen while he explained his four rules. So here they are : 1.. "Drink" from the "everlasting cup" every day. 2.. "Steal" a moment to help someone that is in worse shape than you are. 3.. "Swear" that you will be a better person today than yesterday. 4.. And last, but not least, when you "lie" down at night thank God you live in America and have freedom. I am not as good as I should be, I am not as good as I could be . but THANK GOD I am better than I used to be ! Author unknown to me. Thank you Larry for sending this.
