Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

Better to have loved and lost than never to have HATED SOMEONE SO COMPLETELY WHEN SHE LEFT AND TOOK EVERYTHING.

All work and no play makes Jack an adult.

Better laid than never.

Beauty is only skin deep, which is obvious when you cut the skin away and they're super gross.

A man who is his own lawyer is double-billing for his time.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

Actions speak louder than words, UNLESS YOU USE ALL CAPS.

Talk is cheap, so be really verbose if you want your sentences to have any value at all.

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Tasting evil is fine.

Speak softly and carry a big stick. AND A CAPS-LOCK KEY.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

Procrastination is the thief of time, video gaming the serial killer.

Practice what you preach; nobody likes an unrehearsed sermon.

Rome wasn't built in a day.
It's been two thousand years and the Colosseum still looks completely unfinished.

Always put your best foot forward.
It makes walking tricky, but shuffling works.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

Hope springs eternal. Failure oozes forever.

As the fly fisherman said: Good things come to those who wade.

If the cap fits, where's it?

Don't judge a book by its cover. Judge it by the marketing spin on the back.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

A thing of beauty is a joy until she files a restraining order.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
And if you can't stand the dinner, get out of my house.

If you can't beat them, join them.
And if you can't join them, weld them.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try to find someone to blame.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

It's better to light a candle than curse the DAMMIT! HOT WAX!

Talk is cheap, but listening's expensive.
You owe me big.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Except for the wreck that puts you in a coma.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
Or until it opens its mouth and speaks.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

All you need is love.
But I need money, too. And donuts.

A rising tide lifts all boats.
Like a tsunami, for example.

A man who is his own lawyer overcharges himself.

He who laughs last doesn't really get the joke.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

It takes a village to raise a child.
But just one naughty child to raze a village.

Live every day as if it were your last.
In a hospital bed.

A man's home is is castle.
That's why I post sentries in the turrets and have prisoners in the basement dungeons.

Blood is thicker than water.
So is peanut butter.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

Never put off till tomorrow what you can put off indefinitely.

Early to bed, early to rise. Again. Dammit.

A friend in need is a friend of somebody else.

A house divided against itself cannot stand home inspectors.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

A rising tide lifts all boats.
So does a tsunami.

Those who can, do.
Those who can't, tweet. And tweet. And tweet.

A friend in need is a former acquaintance.

A picture paints a thousand words. Words like, "That's not your good side, is it?" and, "Would it kill you to give a nice smile for the camera next time?", and "Does your camera not focus?"

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

The best things in life are free.
Like jail, after you take stuff that wasn't free after all.

Still waters run deep.
Still water runs deeply alcoholic.

Practice makes perfekt. Practice makes prefect. Practice makes perrfect.
PracticeSpellcheck makes perfect.

Out of sight, out of mind:
Hide the mental patients.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

You can't please everyone, but you can always pleasure yourself.

He who does not try cannot fail.

Lucky in love, happy in life.
Lucky in business, annoying.

The proof is in the pudding. I have no idea how the knife got into my dessert.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

Here are some things that Poor Richard probably meant to say:

Early to bed and early to rise.
Make me a shake with that burger and fries.

Fish and visitors stink after three days.
At least you can eat the fish. Legally.

Necessity never made a good bargain,
but it makes for decent theft.

To err is human, to repent divine,
To lie about it political.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

Better late than never, said the late man's happy widow.


Another day, another dollar. I really need a raise.


Actions speak louder than words, especially words in sign language.


Do not curse the darkness. Light a candle and curse the hot wax.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. That water's still useful.

Faint heart never won fair lady. Money did.

First impressions are the most lasting, especially if you leave a really big dent.

Fish and guests smell after three days. So cook your guests soon.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

History repeats itself itself.

Ignorance is Bliss. Complete stupidity is Bliss's sister, Irene.
They're both very nice and have lovely hair.

Marriages are made in heaven.
Divorces are down the hall to the left, then take the elevator all the way down.

No man can serve two masters.
Serve one of them for dinner tonight, and leave the other in the fridge until supper tomorrow.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

A woman's place is in the home, plotting to kill the man that told her that.

If you can't be good, be careful.
If you can't be careful, be armed.

Beware of geeks bearing grift.

A man's home is his castle; cold, leaky, and with bodies rotting in the dungeons below.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

Hard work never did anyone any harm. Unless you're an assassin.

Good fences make good neighbors. Good fencers make scary ones.

If you want something done well, do it yourself. And leave it on the grill for a long time.

It's better to be on the safe side; the safe is where all of the money is.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

He who lives by the sword shouldn't roll over in his sleep.

He who laughs last is pissing me off.

He who pays the piper should have him stop playing. That instrument is annoying.

Hindsight is 20-20. This is to prevent sitting on your glasses.

Things I Believe: Thoughts for Friday

When you break up with someone, friends may tell you, "There are plenty of fish in the sea."
What they're saying is that they wish you'd go drown yourself.

Any close relationship will always reach a time when you realize that that other person does not share your exact views, does not look at the world in the same way, and generally is not the same person that you are.
At these times, it is best to take a step back, take a deep breath, and hit them.

Success comes from passion.
Find something you really love to do, and do it over and over until you hate it.

Those who can, do. Those can't blog.
