Twenty Additional Aphorisms


Excess of moderation is also a fanaticism.

Beware of enterprises requiring new locution.

What would a needle be doing in a haystack?

It doesn’t need any brain function to move one’s mouth.

Chickens have enough problems crossing roads. They don’t have time to debate precedence with eggs.

If we all cultivated our own gardens, who would we sell the excess produce to?

He who had the last laugh had to have the joke explained to him.

Multitasking is nature’s way of allowing you to screw up more than one thing at a time.

If the lion promises not to eat me, I will promise not eat the lion.

A smart thief knows when to steal away.

So many gurus; so much folly.

Tell a person your secret, and you are forever at his mercy.

Be thankful for loss of faith. Now you can judge the world anew.

A ringing telephone is a question.

Putting the cart before the horse makes the horse happy.

Is a return ticket optimism or despair?

One should have a set routine, but a simple one. Like getting out of bed before showering.

If you want someone killed, do it yourself. Hiring an assassin is an act of cowardice.

The fool thinks the knave a fool. The knave thinks the fool a knave.

Self-control is merely a respite between indulgences.
