Well this is not about your favourite or the funniest quote you've ever heard, hence about quotes that give a little (spicy) insight into every days little madness..



... errm, how to look at it from a different angle



... errm, adding a little "wisdom" wink



Like:







"The richest man is not the one who has the most,

but the one who needs the least..."

i]"aph·o·rism" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (f-rzm) n.

1) A tersely phrased statement of a truth or opinion; an adage. See Synonyms at saying.

What is an aphorism? no, I will not look it up wink

Always use "so's your face" and "only on Tuesdays" in as many conversations possible

Most of the sigs on here are profoundly funny... I think they're the best aphorisms... biggrin

After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

Is there a difference between an aphorism and a quotation? Cuz if there isn't, does that mean I'm Oscar Wilde?

sometimes the best response to reality is to go insane

imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality

sanity calms, but madness is more interesting

war does not determine who is right - only who is left

It is ridiculous to claim that video games influence children. If Pacman had affected kids born in the eighties, they'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to monotonous electronic music.
