When life gives you lemons, make grape juice, sit back and watch the world wonder how you did it.

Don't date the guy who judges you on how much like a model you look. Date the guy who judges models on how much they look like you...

Just because he's a Communist dictator doesn't mean he's a bad guy.

some of my proverbs will be profound (in my opinion) and some will be nonsense.

"the custard tart left unattended will soon be festooned with maggots."
"the unbound pony tail will no juice ferment" (not sensible)
"a rose that has too many petals will no nightingale confuse"
"the death of a flea in the wrong place and time, may eventually level a mountain".

more comes if this thread does not die.

Those who try to be different are more the same than everybody else.

Stupidity is like uranium. As long as you keep stupid people far enough apart, everything is OK. But too many too close together and you get to critical mass. Then BOOM. A thermo-stupider explosion.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
nothing's going to get better, it's not.
