Only two things are infinite: the universe, and human stupidity - and I'm not suer about the universe!!!
Einstein

Two Wrongs don't make a Right.

Here's another one. It's not exactly old, but...

Guys are like parking spaces-all the good ones are taken.

Be nice or the fairies at the bottom of the garden will tell to father Xmas

What are parents on ? As if anyone with any saneness or brain would believe that!

Yes, yes, these are the same people who swear that the tooth fairy exists - even though you caught them red handed putting money under your pillow.

And filling your stocking...
No matter that I still chose to believe it anyway.

If at first you don't suceed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.

Sicirus · 09-21-2002, 05:25 PM

Good ones glasses!

If the shoe fits, find another one just like it!

Some Dune sayings:

There is no escape- we pay for the violence of our ancestors.

Avoid a clear, safe choice. That path leads ever down into stagnation.

The vision of time is broad, but when you pas though it, time becomes a narrow door.

Chemists do it in test tubes (that one is on my science lab wall)

You see things as they are and ask, 'Why?' I dream of things that never were and ask, 'Why not?'

Listen, or your tongue will make you deaf

I like this one.

"red sky at night, shepards/sailors delight"

"peace, man"

"a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"

"find a penny, pick it up, all that day you'll have good luck"

"never trust a man with a beard"

"put it back in the horse!" (a saying refering to poor quality beer)

"always wear clean underwear, you never know when you'll be hit by a truck" - curtesy of my ever optimistic mother

"it's cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" - actually refers to old sail ships........ the Brass Monkey was a brass tray which held canon balls. When it was cold the tray contracted and the canon balls would tumble onto the floor.

"I've just seen a brass monkey looking for a good welder"

"cast ne'er a clout 'till May be out"

"never eat yellow snow"

" a bakers dozen"

"Never rub another mans rhubarb" - recent one, Joker in Batman, but a classic

Sicirus · 09-22-2002, 04:59 PM

Your mother expects you to get hit by a car. Thats comforting.

My Bilogy teacher says this.
rain on a ducks back. "it does not matter.'
i am going to see a lady about a dog" mind your own buissness.(sp)

A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.

Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now.

A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.

Everyone has a photographic memory, some just don't have film.
