I believe the quote you might be referring to was used by Randy Pausch in his last lecture – “Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted”

Ok so I searched “Jimmy Johns Quotes” and your page turned up on the top results in Google – Actually what I’m looking for is the JJ quote on ‘experience’. It went something like “experience is what you call it when you didn’t get what you wanted” or something like that.

i was at jimmy johns in auburn probably an hour ago and that sign is so great. it sums up the best advice i was ever given: “dont quit, suffer now and live the rest of your days as a champion”

i know that is more of a sports quote but it is the same theme as the JJs sign

Thanks for the Jimmy Johns quote! I have always loved that sign. It’s a great thing to think about when writing papers/studying for tests/working/working out. Love it.

But when I roll, I gotsta roll in sumphin PHAT!

Seriously, you are so right when it comes to not purchasing that Escalade. A car payment is typically the 2nd largest monthly expense for families. It can even be 1st if you have two car payments! This is terrible for your finances.
