Maxims to live your life by

[bruce1530]

From my wife's grandmother:

Keep your mind easy,​

Keep your bowels open,​

Trust in the Lord,​

Wear big boots.​

 

[Drago]

The bigger they are, the harder they hit you.

 

[Biker BoB]

Suburban poshshireites are best ignored.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Today I'm living my life by the maxim "If Columbo's on the telly you might as well watch it*"


*Especially if it's the one with Willaim Shatner hamming it up like Hammy Hamster in a Ham packing plant.

Edit for accuracy: "Especially if it's one of the ones with William Shatner hamming it up"

A bird in the hand means fingers covered in guano.

Those who fail to learn from history, are doomed to study a science subject instead.

 

[Gwylan]

Never believe anyone that says "a bird in the hand is worth two in a bush"

If you carry extra weight you will be harder to kidnap.

Buy the right hub.

 

[Moodyman]

Stop talking about it and just do it

being half way along a sub optimal path is often better than spending an extra week working out which it the perfect path only to find that you have no longer got enough time to do the damn thing

This could be shortened to:

Missing out on good, in the pursuit of perfection.

 

[Moodyman]

There's not enough Latin in this thread, so here's some more: premeditato malorum .

Essentially, visualise what might go wrong so that you can be be prepared for it and react better when and if it does, avoiding the need to waste time being surprised, distressed, or even having to think about it when it's actually happening. Very effective when there are sheep at the side of the road on fast downhills :-)

Expect the worse, anything else is a bonus.

 

[Moodyman]

The more you learn, the more you learn how little you know.

 

[Drago]

Here, hold my beer.

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

The hurrier you go, the behinder you get.

 

[Drago]

A friend in need, is to be avoided.
