An aphorism is a concise statement of principle or of truth. I received the following list of aphorisms from my friend, Roy. They seem particularly timely to me today. What do you think? :think:
- It’s not whether you win or lose, but how you place the blame.
- We have enough “youth. How about a fountain of “smart”?
- A Fool and his money can throw one heck of a party
- Money isn’t everything, but it sure keeps the kids in touch.
- Don’t Drink and Drive You might hit a bump and spill something.
- If at first you don’t succeed skydiving is not for you
- We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.
- Red meat is not bad for you Fuzzy green meat is bad for you.
- Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
- “You know why a banana is like a politician?”
“He comes in and first he is green, then he turns yellow and then he’s rotten.” - “I think Congressmen should wear uniforms, you know, like NASCAR drivers, so we could identify their corporate sponsors.”
- The reason Politicians try so hard to get re-elected is that they would ‘hate’ to have to make a living under the laws they’ve passed.
Try to keep that smile on your face as you interact with others today. :gum:
“Money isn’t everything, but it sure keeps the kids in touch.”
Hahahahhahahaa. I wish I knew if this was true or not (headed off to buy a lotto ticket). 😉
Trust me . . . I didn’t write that one. 😉 Good luck with that lotto ticket.
I like the “fool and his money” throwing a great party. We’ve got a friend like that!! His wife is on the verge of divorce over it. Seriously. 🙁
These are great!
Thanks Lin. That’s a sad situation that you describe. 🙁
These are all great! I agree that we need a fountain of smart.
That certainly is my favorite from this list. :up:
I like the last one. Not a big fan of big government
Pity that it doesn’t stick to its enumerated powers. :beam:
Voting for the “fountain of smart.” But will anyone actually drink therefrom?
I must confess to having moments of despair in that regard. :pray:
Vanilla – Let’s hope they chug instead of sipping. :dunce:
Alexander Pope (from An Essay on Criticism, 1709)
A little learning is a dangerous thing;
drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
and drinking largely sobers us again.
