    Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.

    On the road of life, there are windshields and there are bugspats.

    The most beautiful sunsets are made by cloudy skies.

    Never try to leap a chasm in two jumps.

    If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style.

    Some people wish to get what they deserve, while others fear the same.

    A man who lives in a glass house should change in the basement.

    The word listen contains the same letters as the word silent.

    A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

    Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

    A closed mouth gathers no feet.

    Be careful of your thoughts, they may become words at any moment.

    It is important to stay cool, but be sure to not get frostbite.

    There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.

    An agreeable person is some who agrees with you.

    At the feast of ego, everyone leaves hungry.

    Be bold in what you stand for and careful what you fall for.

    Boys will be boys....and so will a lot of middle aged men!

    In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

    You can't strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

    A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.

    Forgiveness is like the fragrance a flower gives after it's been stepped on.

    If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.

    If a first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

    Progress comes from lazy people looking for easier ways to do things.

    Most people won't learn, even by experience. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

    Babies and young children live in the present. Mature adults live in the future. Only the senile live in the past.

    A lot of truth in all of that, but my favourite is

    "A closed mouth gathers no feet."

    Got to be the best of the lot!

    Yes, dendro, I do like that one but my favourite is ...

    "Be careful of your thoughts, they may become words at any moment."

    ... but they are pretty similar, aren't they?

    Agree with you 100% Kathy3!

    People who are resting on their laurels are wearing them on the wrong end.

    No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

    Alwways be a little kinder than necessary.

    The haves and have nots can often be traced back to the dids and did nots.
    Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
    Be careful what you wish for, it might come true
