A truly wise man never plays leapfrog with a unicorn. Show me a man who stands on his own two feet and I'll show you a man who can't get his pants on.The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that, you've got it made.He who laughs last, probably didn't get the joke.If the shoe fits, buy it.Today is the last day of your life, so far.Let not the sands of time get in your lunch.Life in a vacuum sucks.May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.There are three kinds of people: those who can count, and those who can't.Never lick a gift horse in the mouth.Everything should be made as simple as possible but no simpler.Indecision is the key to flexibility.Behind every great man is his butt.Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?A penny for your thoughts; $20 to act them out.After all is said and done, usually more is said.Don't judge a book by its mini-series.Never *MOON* a werewolf.According to recent surveys, 51% of the people are always in the majority.There is nothing wrong with having nothing to say unless you insist on saying it.Procrastinate now !!!
Mexican ProverbsMake deaf ears to stupid words. You judge the way you live. In this world there is neither truth nor lie, everything is like the color of the crystal through which you gaze. Don't break down, rope; this is the last jerk! The most desirable woman is the one who belongs to someone else. The sin carries its own penance. God does not hear you if you do not speak. Pray indeed, but get to work! There is more time than life. He who lives with hope dies happy. The devil is wiser not because he's the devil, but because he's old. In youth we learn, in old age we understand. Youth is a folly; maturity, a struggle; old age a remorse. Revenge is a dish that tastes better cold. The brave man lives until the coward wants. Money is a good servant but an evil master. Jealous about honor, careless about providing. A lamp in the street, obscurity at home. The deaf cannot listen, but invent well. It is not enough to know how to ride, you must also know how to fall. Don't cut your cactus in a neighbor's garden. It's better to be poor, than to live alone. Conversation is food for the soul. Love is blind, but not the neighbors. A person born to be a flower pot will not go beyond the porch. It's not the fault of the mouse who wants the cheese, but of the one who sets the trap. The house does not rest upon the ground, but upon a woman. The right time to dine is, for the rich man, when he is hungry, and for the poor man, when he has something to eat. Envious persons do not compliment, they criticize. We were born to die no matter what.
