Sayings to live by

#1 Post by Beebs52 » Mon Mar 25, 2019 11:21 am

Aphorisms, adages, stupid stuff. I think we need to share our favoritest ones. Please contribute. I need nonsense.

"What can be weird will be."- Me
"Righty tighty lefty Lucy. Really. Trust me."-Me to a recalcitrant relative.
"A solid night's sleep is fleeting, as are solid diaper poops lately, but a bunion is forever because I got new flip flops and no one is cutting on me unnecessarily."-Me. duh
Well, then

It’s easier to avoid temptation than to resist it
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Indeed. Although, while I agree with the piano player one, I'd far rather deal with a smartass than a dumbass.

Not exactly related to the subject of the thread, but funny, IMO:

"That's a pretty weiner runner you've got there," -- a compliment directed toward Ramsay, the new dog, by a young boy in the park.
