Clichés and Adages

GeneHilbert	Date: December 27, 2005 @ 5:47 PM I have a propensity for clichés and adages, a supposition of southern cultural proclivity. Hence I invite you to post your favorite. Sometimes old dogs do learn new tricks.

from-a-box	Date: January 1, 2006 @ 8:18 PM I just stumbled on this today. Perhaps a proverb more than a cliche...but it's quite nice I thought. "When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice."

GeneHilbert	Date: January 2, 2006 @ 1:38 AM I like that........
Veracohr	Date: January 2, 2006 @ 2:18 AM I've always been fond of my own long-standing adage, "Never assume anything".
TameasDust	Date: January 2, 2006 @ 4:32 AM "Forgive my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me"
AdNauseam	Date: January 2, 2006 @ 12:14 PM That must be a cliche- people have been saying it every day for thousands of years!
GeneHilbert	Date: January 2, 2006 @ 2:08 PM I’m pretty sure an excerpt from the "Lords Prayer" is not a cliché…….
TameasDust	Date: January 2, 2006 @ 2:41 PM ok ok ... well my fav is Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke
johnnygnote	Date: January 2, 2006 @ 4:53 PM There are no problems, only solutions.
GeneHilbert	Date: January 2, 2006 @ 5:49 PM Which begs the question; if there are no problems, then why would solutions exist?

TameasDust	Date: January 2, 2006 @ 7:20 PM Anything that needs to be said can be said in less than three sentences ... explainations take longer
BOWILLIE	Date: January 2, 2006 @ 7:22 PM one bad apple spoils the whole bunch. too many chiefs..not enough indians.
celtaidd	Date: January 2, 2006 @ 7:41 PM Thank God I'm an Atheist? Not an adage or a cliche, but true Or..... Cogito Ergo Sum

tsand19151	Date: January 3, 2006 @ 1:37 AM General to his patoon: "Don't go out there and die for your country...kill the other mother-fucker and let him die for his".
AdNauseam	Date: January 3, 2006 @ 6:49 AM "I’m pretty sure an excerpt from the "Lords Prayer" is not a cliché……." You know I was kidding?

victorsskull	Date: January 3, 2006 @ 10:02 AM dont fix it if its not broken
GeneHilbert	Date: January 3, 2006 @ 12:20 PM Throw in a toast - seems appropriate. "May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions."
GeneHilbert	Date: January 3, 2006 @ 12:23 PM the day is darkest right before dawn... That reminds of a great one liner. "A day without the Sun is like...... night".
GeneHilbert	Date: January 3, 2006 @ 12:31 PM It is not our abilities that show who we really are, it is our choices.
TameasDust	Date: January 3, 2006 @ 1:01 PM IN that case I'm a
Wildy1	Date: January 3, 2006 @ 2:08 PM Two wrongs do not make a right!
IndigoGirl	Date: January 4, 2006 @ 6:03 AM 'It's better to regret something you have done than something you haven't done.' I wonder how that would stand up in court?
AdNauseam	Date: January 4, 2006 @ 6:33 AM three lefts make a right, though, so does that mean three rights make a left?
zedsalt	Date: January 4, 2006 @ 11:09 AM Of course they do. That's how one makes a left turn in Bend, Oregon. Oh, yeah, an adage or cliche...o.k., I think this qualifies as an adage...maybe... "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."-Hunter S. Thompson
K3VIN	Date: January 4, 2006 @ 11:49 AM idk my favourite so don't judge a book by it's cover
