It could be a proverb or a famous quote:

I quite like these "Marxist" comments:

"Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms"

"I read in the newspapers they are going to have 30 minutes of intellectual stuff on television every Monday from 7:30 to 8. to educate America. They couldn't educate America if they started at 6:30"

(That would be Groucho not Karl btw )


And then there's Margaret Thatcher:

"It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs."

"If you want to cut your own throat, don't come to me for a bandage."


"In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man; if you want anything done, ask a woman."


"If my critics saw me walking over the Thames they would say it was because I couldn't swim."

"I owe nothing to Women's Lib."

"Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country."


A chinese proverb

"Do not remove a fly from your friend's forehead with a hatchet."

If you discover a quote or proverb worth sharing, whilst on your cyber travels, perhaps you could post it here.

Of course you're neither the first nor the last, I just like things well organised that's why I showed previous threads of a similar title. I do recommend browsing pre-existing threads before posting a new one.

My greatest fear: repetition.
Max Frisch

Digression, objections, delight in mockery, carefree mistrust are signs of health; everything unconditional belongs in pathology.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.... Anais Nin

To you I'm an atheist; to God, I'm the Loyal Opposition.
