There are many short sayings to live by, some funny/joking, some serious. That we hear day to day, and some unique and new however very true (<-- look, I'm a poet!)


I'll start off....


-Dont put off till tomorrow, which you can completely avoid all together!
-Dont eat the yellow snow
-One man's trash, is another man's treasure
-Man who farts in church, sit in own pew



You take a shot at it!

Maybe these aren't sayings to live by, but, they are a few quotes I always liked:

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
Hunter S. Thompson

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.
Kurt Vonnegut

I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.
George Carlin

Man who go through turnstile sideways going to Bangkok.

Man who stand on toilet high on pot.

I once had a priest, at a funeral, tell me that everyone was eventually going to die.

My response was "Speak for yourself, I'm holding out for the rapture.".

He wasn't impressed

"Why take life seriously? Nobody gets out of it alive..."

"Life: A sexually transmitted disease with a 100% mortality rate."

Okay, those are disturbingly morbid...

The one I like most is in my sig.

"The optimist says the glass is half full. The pessimist says the glass is half empty. The engineer says the glass is 50% over spec."

"Courage is the ability to do what needs to be done when terrified. Never being afraid isn't courage, it's idiocy."

I'll draw from my Sig for two of them:

si vis pacem, para bellum

I am an American Soldier. If you will not stand behind me, feel free to stand in front of me

also:

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety" - Benjamin Franklin

"Many of life's failures are men who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up" - Thomas Edison

quote> Life: A sexually transmitted disease with a 100% mortality rate.

haha along those same lines heres a funny one

"breathing gives you cancer"

no more i promise

To borrow from SupraGuy:
"The optimist says the glass is half full. The pessimist says the glass is half empty. I just want to know who the hell's been drinkin' my beer?"

Don't squat with your spurs on.

Don't drink downstream from the herd.

"There are two kinds of people in this world, those that think there are two kinds of people and those that know better."
Tom Robbins

"There must be slack"
Bob Dobbs

Their are three types of people in the world:

1- The stupid, who never learn from their mistakes.
2- The smart, who learn from their mistakes.
3- The wise, who learn from other peoples mistakes.

Old demolition experts usually fall into the third category

Nature seeks the truth.

The truth is self awareness.

To seek the truth, is to be.

Not short saying, but short story:

I climbed to the top of the treacherous cliff, there sat the wise man old and stiff,
I asked him of truth, but he just scoffed, so that is why I push him off!



Ok, enough of that:

-There are IO kinds of people out there, those who can read binary, and those who cant

-Man who cooks carrots and pees in same pot, is said to be unsanitary

-Never argue with an idiot, They will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience!

-All your base are belong to us!

kinda long...
