Invented any Platitudes? Rules of thumbs to live by? Cryptic life warnings?

Wit gets 3 points, accuracy 2 points, originality 8 points, pretentiousness 2 points and wisdom from stupidity gets 10 points.

No prizes will be awarded, but the street cred is sky high.

I'll start.


"Never finger-poke a boxer over a fender-bender."

When walking through a rather crowded area (e.g., a cocktail party where some people are carrying drinks or plates of food or whatever), I have a simple rule-of-thumb:

"The more dangerous person has the right-of-way."

(It may apply in other situations as well.)

"I'd rather someone seduce me in the name of vice than kill me in the name of virtue."

"He who dies with the most toys is DEAD, and then someone else gets the toys."

"Try for excellence, try for fame, or try for both, but start with excellence."

"Each snowflake in an avalanche pleads 'Not guilty'."

From my dad.

If you are not in bed by nine o'clock you might as well go home.

God protects drunks and idiots.

There isn't anything worse than a reformed anything.

I answered in a hurry...I didn't invent the snowflake one; I just like it.

Relating to table tennis:

"If you can whack it, whack it, otherwise just smack it"
