Before you criticize another man you should walk a mile in his shoes.

That way, when you criticize him, you will be a mile away and you will have his shoes.

Girls* will draw you further than dynamite will blow you.








*may or may not be a substituted word to save offence.

These few are getting a bit old:

People who live in glass houses should not invade Iraq.

If the mountain will not come to Osama, then Osama will hide in the mountain.

Only an idiot goes to war in Afghanistan, luckily America elected one.

The enemy of my enemy is an enemy in waiting.

Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. But give a man the *means* to fish, and he'll get drunk and fall asleep in a boat.

A bad analogy is like a leaky screwdriver.

You don't fatten a pig by weighing it all the time (Ian Hislop, Have I got News for You, referring to Britain's obsession with setting exams for kids with great frequency).

Your best chance to get a Royal Flush in a casino is in the bathroom

I love the Ian Hislop one!

Id rather stay at the bar and piss myself than take my chances with him in the bog ::)

lolol. the first post made me laugh, the second even more so

Mr Warren Buffett, the sage of Omaha, (the place, not the game), who first used the analogy I believe, rarely gets it wrong. He is one of my lifetime heroes, right up there with Brunel, & one of the great economic thinkers of our time.

Try googling "the sayings of Warren Buffett", or reading a few of the books about him - there are dozens.

A most extraordinary man.

"most men live in a state of quiet desperation"

interesting quote, but I don't know where its from

"going for the yellow ball by the sidepocket - and for those in black and white, it's next to the blue.".

"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them."

Henry David Thoreau (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_David_Thoreau)

Thoreau - The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.

Andrew beat me to it (as usual ;) ), but with a slightly different quote.

a mans gotta make at least one bet a day else he could be walking around lucky and never  know it             jimmy jones

Yeah - yours is actually correct though. Mine seems to be a cut and shut of Thoreau's quote plus something from Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Quotes from a rather clever Welshman:

A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.

I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.

Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so.

The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

There are two motives for reading a book: one, that you enjoy it; the other, that you can boast about it.

There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.

When one admits that nothing is certain one must, I think, also admit that some things are much more nearly certain than others.

Men who are unhappy, like men who sleep badly, are always proud of the fact.

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

Brilliant!  TY Kin, so glad dewi started this thread. 

I'm such a fool! 

The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them.

Everyone has a photographic memory… some just don’t have film.

Pressure makes diamonds.

You only live once, but if you work it right, once is enough.

Fames est optimus coquus.

A democracy is a sheep and two wolves deciding on what to have for lunch.

Freedom is a well armed sheep contesting the results of the decision.

Needing someone is like needing a parachute.

If they aren't there the first time, chances are you won't be needing them again.

The only quote you'll ever need; "F*ck Em!".

Seriously, think about it;  Someone says "But the doctor says red meat is bad for you" Answer; "F*ck Em*.
or; "But the church says sex outside marriage is against God's will" Answer "F*ck Em*.
or; "But my family want to come over this weekend so you can't go to DtD"...Answer "F*ck Em*

It's a good reply in any situation.

You can substitute the word gun for anything and the saying is still +1....e.g. It's better to have jam and not need any than need jam and not have any. See.

"my mum is getting on my case about getting a job, and a girlfriend, and moving out, and cleaning up the mess left by my pet rabbit, so i havnt really got time to do the news letter, just google some random shit, that's what i was gonna do anyway"

I dunno, I heard Toby Zeigler from the West Wing use it.

It might have been a barrel rather than a gallon, but the sentiment is similar.
