Sayings
 
What are some sayings of your culture or maybe just of what you've heard that make sense to you?

Beware of those who talk much, but say little.

Though really, that's probably universal.

Witness unpainted face of your girlfriend before you marry her. ( I made up )

Recipe for sanity and healthy life in nowadays madness is ability to convert bad
energy around you in constructive activity through uplifting thoughts.

Opening quote from my book "Cubicle of Life".

I also really like one latin saying that goes "De inimico non loquaris sed cogites", which translates into :"Don't wish ill for your enemy, plan it!".

You take the good, you take the bad,
you take them both and there you have
The Facts of Life, the Facts of Life.

I highly recommend this as well. Makeup and beers,... awesome for single men and anybody who does not care, but when it comes time to settle down, be sure you understand and love the face you will wake up to for the next whatever of your life. I do not mean this to sound sexist or anything... i just mean, beauty fades and in 30 years or so it won't matter how hot he or she was, what will matter is if you love each other for who you are. And if you can, you should have tried to decide that before you marry.

Bokonon's 53rd Calypso

Oh, a sleeping drunkard
Up in Central Park,
And a lion-hunter
In the jungle dark,
And a chinese dentist,
And a British queen -
All fit together
In the same machine.
Nice, nice, very nice;
Nice, nice, very nice;
Nice, nice, very nice -
So many different people
In the same device.



On God

Someday, someday, this crazy world will have to end,
And our God will take things back that He to us did lend.
And if, on that sad day, you want to scold our God,
Why go right ahead and scold Him. He'll just smile and nod.



On Life

We do, doodley do, doodley do, doodley do,
What we must, muddily must, muddily must, muddily must;
Muddily do, muddily do, muddily do, muddily do,
Until we bust, bodily bust, bodily bust, bodily bust.


Bokonon ( Kurt Vonnegut Jr. )

“That’s the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.”

Oh yea, know that s**t. Sounds so good
I wanna... right along. Yea this is K-Sui,
Cyco Miko here, giving you the easy
muthafu**n listening sounds for the hard
of muthafu**'n hearing. Yea, busting out on
a whole new perspektive to lock you upside
your head. Get your mind working.
Cause you know it ain't working like it should be.
It's time to think... not think like you think
you think... that ain't thinking, that's just
justifying your inability to accomplish the things
that you're not willing to work for.
So right now time to dig into fuc**n trench.
Get a little cyco. Cause you gotta fuc**n be crazy
to believe in yourself! So what anyone else says...
f**k it! I don't give a f**k!

We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.
And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace
It's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up, crack you up and pimp slap you up
You gotta learn to hold ya own
they get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
But tell the cops they can't touch this
I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool my mama didn't raise no fool
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped & I never get to lay back
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
some buck that I roughed up way back comin' back after all these years
rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is uhh

Here's one that I can remember off the top of my head.

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and you will feel him for a lifetime."

It's a Chinese Proverb I believe.

There's many good quotes in the Art of War ;)!

May the stars carry your sadness away,
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,
May hope forever wipe away your tears,
And, above all, may silence make you strong.

My mother had one that used to stop me in my tracks cold......

"I wouldn't have in my hand what you just had in your mouth." :eek:

It was her response to my uttering a rather graphic cuss word.
