What's your favorite "sayings"?

[local2fed]

Two "sayings" I've heard over the years that I have learned out are totally true.

1. If you don't have a seat at the table, you're probably on the menu. (favorite corporate America saying I heard years ago from the CEO of a company)

2. Something is only worth what you can get for it. (my dad's favorite saying when I would say something was worth "X")

I'd love to hear some of yours.

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one, and they all smell like ****.

Sorry to the folks who don't enjoy the dirtier words in our language but it just doesn't hit the same if said differently.

Life is tough, it's tougher if you're stupid.

If everyone threw their troubles into one pile, you would be quick to snatch yours back.

Learn something new every day to keep your mind active. When you stop learning, you start dying.

Hunter Thompson quote in my signature.

Be Calm. Eliminate things that keep you from being calm. If you can’t do anything about the news, turn it off. Walk away from annoying people, music, etc. When you’re mad, logic and reason fly away, and the stress shortens your life.

Dealing with stupid people aggravates me so I have several sayings:

Wisdom is not the same as knowledge. A lot of college graduates know a lot of stuff but have little common sense.

A wise man speaks because he has something to say, a fool, because he has to say something. - Plato

True wisdom is knowing what you don’t know – Confucius. Also: And in knowing that you know nothing, that makes you the smartest of all – Socrates

Ignorance is curable, stupid is forever. ― Robert A. Heinlein

Everyone has the right to be stupid. It’s just that some people abuse the privilege.

“Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.” ― Mark Twain

“It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.” ― Maurice Switzer

Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry. --Thomas Jefferson

You can tell a lot about a woman’s mood just by looking at her hands. For instance, if they’re holding a gun, she is probably angry.

“When you're in jail, a good friend will be trying to bail you out. A best friend will be in the cell next to you saying, 'Damn, that was fun'.” ― Groucho Marx

The one I heard most at home growing up poor was: Want in 1 hand and $hit in the other and see which one fills up faster.

I think I may add this one to my Sig line!

When asked by someone " How u doing?? my usual reply would be ""on top of the dirt"".. If they ask for clarification reply ""beats the alternative"" ..... "rather be seen than viewed" ...... drill sgt.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Don't argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Worrying is like a rocking chair. You can go and go but you’re not going anywhere.
