Words of Wisdom OK, here's a little thread to post all the sayings and words of wisdom that you've heard
or thought up over the years that have either struck a chord or made you laugh (or both). Those little sentences that somehow manage to condense important messages about life into a few well chosen words... I'll start with a few... (apologies in advance for not remembering who said most of these quotes) "Learn all the rules, then you can break them properly" "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they're not out to get you" "if Barbie is so popular, then why do you have to buy her friends?" "Calling Atheism a religion is like calling 'bald' a hair color" "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans" | |

Now what I am isn't it and what is it is strange and frightening to me...

When life hands you lemons - Grab the salt & pass the Tequila baby...
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything. Never mess up an apology with an excuse. Don't worry, it only seems kinky the first time. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works. Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film. Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how living remains so popular? It is hard to understand how a cemetery raised its burial costs and blamed it on the high cost of living. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well. It was recently discovered that research causes cancer in rats. When you go into court you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. | |
