Cliches, Bumper Stickers, and other Pearls of Wisdom

[H2Andy]

i figured we could share some of the precepts we live by


two of my favorites:


--so long as it does not imply surrender, be at peace with everyone

--enlightment means being always aware of your own existence as well
as the existence of all other living beings

Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Geez...I thought this thread was going to go along the Pearls of Wisdom like "Divers Do It Deeper" and other nonsense like that - no fair dragging H.L. Mencken in here. Who's next - Ayn Rand?

life is like the lottery: you have to play to win

It may suck, but for some reason I thought of it on my way home today well before I saw this thread, so the gods must have put it in my mind for a reason. I'll do better later.

If it has terrors, they are our terrors; if it has abysses, these abysses belong to us; if there are dangers, we must try to love them. And if only we arrange our life in accordance with the principle which tells us that we must always trust in the difficult, then what now appears to us as the most alien will become our most intimate and trusted experience.

~ Rainer Maria Rilke

It's a long one, but I like it a lot.

Bumber stickers?
"The world does not belong to us, we belong to the world."
"I (heart) NY, but (Israeli Flag) IS HOME."

Bumper stickers:

Keep the dream alive: Hit the snooze button
Keep honking: I'm reloading
Vegetarian: Indian word for lousy hunter
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate
So you're kid's no honor student. Society needs laborers.
Never knock on Death's door. Ring the bell and run, he hates that
EARTH FIRST! We'll strip-mine the other planets later
I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.
On the journey of life, I choose the psycho path.
A day without sunshine is like night.

 

[Snowbear]

Getting to Heaven isn't about religion, it's about forgiveness.

Bumper stickers...
Gun control means hitting your target
My dog is smarter than your honor student
My kid beat up your honor student at ______ school

I can't post the sticker with its wisdom emblazoned upon it... but its quite humorous
