A-for-is-umz!

[Moses]

As Inquartata pointed out most of us seem to lack the lyrical inspiration to write epigrams (Wesley, where were you when we needed you???). So, to let everbody in on the life-lesson fun, post your aphoristic (sic. mose. me. etc.) observations! (exclamation point for no reason!)!

!

A few I appreciate, mostly not spoken by me:

Sean's Observation-
"You can't spell 'meat' without spelling 'eat'!"

(those of you who know of my carnivor-istic tendencies will be familiar with that one)

Bradley's Lesson-
"I've learned this in life: if it looks good, go for it. If it feels good, keep doing it. If it hurts, it's time to stop."

Moses' Law-
"If you can keep your head while everyone else is losing theirs, you'll be the first to die."

-Da Mose

Eric's Theory Of Navigation-
"I'm not lost. Lost is when you don't know where you are. I know where I am...I'm just not exactly sure of where I'm going."

Bill's Law Of Self-Development-
"Of course I can tell you how to fix this. But you're not gonna listen to me anyway, so figure it out for yourself. You'll thank me for not telling you when you do."

Benny's Guide to Meeting Friends and Influencing People-
"A lot of people are assclowns. Don't let 'em get to you, 'cause then you'll start being an assclown too."

Kristy's Law of Social Butterflyism-
"I don't want to hear anybody complaining about other people not having any respect for them if they haven't got any for themselves."

[Go? Fencing?]

Bethany's Law of Activism-
If you can't do anything about it, complaining won't get you anywhere. If you can do something about it, stop complaining and go do it.

Richard's Law of Knowledge-
Brilliance is the state of understanding that you understand nothing.

The Law of English Class, in French:

This is one of my favorite quotes ever, it was my signature for about a month, and sorry if I screw it up:

"Ecrire, c'est un mensonge qu'on enjolive."

Which translates, mostly, to "To write is a lie which you make pretty."

It's from a book called "Oscar et la dame rose" and I forget the author's name.

My law of Fencing Equipment (applicable only to me, for some reason):

If something can go wrong, it will. If something can't go wrong, it might anyway. If nothing can go wrong, something will come up, and then go wrong. If something goes wrong and you fix it, you'll get 5 touches out of it if you're lucky, then something will go wrong.

"You can't spell manslaughter without laughter."

Ignorance is not having the knowledge to use,
stupidity is not using the knowledge you have.

[npkeith]

You can't cure stupid

Its a good thing stupid isn't painful

There is no body cavity that cannot be reached by a 14 guage needle and a good strong arm.
