Magic happens in the mind.
If that is the case then why buy a ticket when you can dream for nothing?
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

"Do unto others...." and other such proverbs, expressions suggesting to treat others how you yourself would like to be treated. I find this is stated often when I am very open and honest and people take offense to being told the truth. Yeah, the truth can be uncomfortable, but I do appreciate it in the long run.

Hey Critter,
Aren't you going to quote my new favorite (or is that my favorite new) proverb? |

Don't remember which one that was.
I did post this somewhere recently though: "There are no stupid questions, just a bunch of jerks who will call you stupid for asking."

The first time I ever heard the "It is what it is" / "He is what he is" (the latter often used with athletes) was from coach Bill Parcells when he came to coach the Dallas Cowboys. Maybe it is a saying with NY/NJ origins?

That's actually not one I have much of a problem with (depending on how it's intended; I think it's a pretty aesthetically pleasing way to say, "Don't read too much into it").
"Torture doesn't work" lol
Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |

The door that opened was a $7.50 an hour job (after 8 years, I've reached $11.30. In about two more years, I'll be where I was at 12 years ago at the other job.) where I bounce around the schedule never knowing from one week to the next exactly which days or even which hours I'll be working.

Then there is the Jack Handey approach to proverbs...
“Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you are a mile away, and you have their shoes.”

Another statement I hate is "I'm just sayin'". It reminds me of the guys who say 'with all due respect....' then spit out something stupid. People will make an insulting statement or dumb remark then toss in 'just saying' as if that excuses it.

It totally does excuse it. Just sayin'.

C.J. Inner circle There's a lotta rambling in my 2366 Posts |
"With all due respect..." is a hilarious one when you think about it. eg, "With all due respect, you're an idiot". That phrase has no respect, and highlights the fact that therefore no respect was even due. It's often used in a way that is supposed to mean "This is going to sound rude, but I mean it respectfully", but it actually means quite the opposite.

"Man up". God, what a stupid expression.
