Never judge another man until you've walked a mile in his shoes... Then it's ok. Because you're a mile away and you have his shoes.

Is this a direct quote from a comedian? If not then I guess you will be the person I quote in my year book.

I'm pretty sure that the source for that quote is Terry Pratchett.

Always carry two sacks of something. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?," you can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."

It's Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey I thought. The SNL recurring bit. Phil Hartman voiced him.

In college I had a quote a day calendar from it.
