I just came across this one for all parents (with apologies to the grammar police).

"A parent's job is to teach their children not to need them anymore. The hardest part of that job is accepting success."

Just because they make it in your size doesn't mean you should wear it.

Indeed! I always say fashion is:- Wearing stuff that doesn't suit you.

Never eat spinach with a stranger

Extra points if you can remember the origin of this one.

A couple of favorites:

"The facts may never be known, yet a commitment must be made..."
June Wayne (artist)

"When you forget the Fun in fundamental, all you're left with is the mental; the mental deviates, the mental cases and the mentally deficient..." Barry Gordy (?)

...and one of my very own...

"Statistics are the most limiting form of information devised by mankind; our job is to do the impossible - we don't need to hear that it cannot be done..."

I wrote this down as humorous a long time ago, but there's truth in it as well:

"Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience."

Or, as it was similarly put : "Nothing can be spoken that is of any eternal significance" (nobody anybody here ever heard of).

I like

"You are what you is " (FZ)

"Paradise is exactly like where you are right now, only much, much better" (William S. Burroughs and/or Laurie Anderson)


" Reality is inexhaustible, and always something different than what we think, and something more"


and "...unbroken wholeness..." (David Bohm)

"It's bigger on the inside" (The Doctor)

"42" (Deep Thought)

So that's why I always win the argument. - Should I or should I

If you think you can drink and drive, you're not thinking.

(I must admit that I haven't always followed these words of wisdom)
