Post your proverbs/sayings thread.

[Erik]

Just post a proverb/saying you like for whatever reason.

I'll start.

One day an old Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson. He said, "There are two wolves fighting inside all of us -the wolf of fear and hate, and the wolf of love and peace."

The grandson listened, then looked up at his grandfather and asked, "Which one will win?"

The grandfather replied, "The one we feed."

I'm a big Bukowski fan. He was a regular guy who loved to drink, to smoke, go to the track, and always had a piece of ass. He is the real life poet of our generation, and of a generation just past.

Here's a few of my favorites...


“If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose”

“Genius might be the ability to say a profound thing in a simple way.”

"I don't like jail, they got the wrong kind of bars in there”

"Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead. "

"What matters most is how well you walk through the fire"

And lastly...

"For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us."
