Treasure box of Aphorisms

Prince's songwriting is so complex and genius. You can brake each song he wrote into so many unique aphorisms. It's like a treasure box of aphorisms.

Can anybody post some great aphorisms you find in his lyrics? That are smart, or unique or funny etc.?

I'm just guessing here, but I have a hunch that you learned a new word today.

Dear BlackAdder7,

I'm sorry that you don't know what aphorisms are. But they are very popular in my native country in europe. People always find interesting or funny lines in songs, movies. Some lines are so old and became so cultural thing.

Soooo many to choose from, but this one immediately came to mind:

"If you only had one year left to live, what good is the time you spend if you got no love to give."

"Never let nasty stalkers disrespect you. They start shit, you finish it. Go down to their level, that's the only way they'll understand. You have to handle things yourself."

Apparently you're not the only one.

Aphorism

–noun
a terse saying embodying a general truth, or astute observation, as “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely” (Lord Acton).

I Googled that word and Google said "You again?"

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
