Words of Wisdom thread
Preferably, funny or profound sayings you've cooked up yourself, but anything that hasn't passed into general proverb is welcome.

"Looking for religion on TV is like looking for porn in the Bible. It takes some work and it's best if you're drunk.

1. Isn't it funny that this thread is empty? (except for now)
A quote from my brother:
"There is nothing more overrated than sex, and nothing more underrated than a good shit."

8. reminds me of what a friend of mine said, about how she likes
her men like she likes her coffee, strong, rich, not first thing in the morning, and a little bitter.

5. I have three bits of wisdom, all learned from rock and roll:
"If everyone would demand peace, instead of just another tv set, there would be peace." -- John Lennon

"Remember there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over." -- Frank Zappa

"Don't compromise yourself. You're all you've got." -- Janis Joplin

13. "Always store beer in a dark place"
No idea who first said it, but it's sound advice.

14. Check out the New Intl. Version, Ezekiel 23 if you want some good porn...
It's funny how, in Biblical times, people could live 700 years yet the Bible porn is as pithy as it gets. :eyes:

Note: The King James Version, go figure, is censored. Badly censored too, it's like they never bothered to try.

15. The community has no bribe that will tempt a wise man.
You may raise enough money to tunnel a mountain, but you cannot raise enough money to hire a man who is minding his own business. An efficient and valuable man does what he can, whether the community pay him for it or not. The innefficient offer their innefficiency to the highest bidder and are forever expecting to be put in office. One would suppose that they were rarely disappointed.

-Thoreau
