Anyway, here are some I really like - all said/stolen by Mark Twain.
- Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more. (The main reason I always admit my faults - well... that and the fact that there's no point in denying them anyway.)
- Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint. (See - health and stuff is just a fag. DON'T LISTEN TO IT!)
- Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society. (Hear hear - dirty nudists!)
- Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
- I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened. (I'd never make a story up... ever...)
And of course the classic (which I never ever follow because it takes the fun away):
- It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
