Aphorisms that <you> created
Here's thread for aphorisms that you thought up. Not somebody else's quotes, but yours. I'll start it out.
"Feel free to question my sanity. If you can get it to talk, I'd like to know what it says..." |

Sometimes more is less.
Communication is a journey to a common understanding. - I thought I had heard that somewhere, but no search has yielded anything, I said it at work on why email is a lousy method of trying to figure things out. |

Everybody in the US likes to think they're middle class.
Only.... How can they find enough class to be in the middle of? |

You gotta be a kid at heart when you're old - to make up for everything else being decrepit..

Here's one my parents told me I said to them when I was very young:
"I'm glad you named me Steven, because that's what everyone calls me." |

Oh, I got a lot of them...
One of my best ones: The truth hurts only while you deny it. The healing begins once you accept it. My most recent, wish I had it on a bumper sticker: My sense of smug superiority is greater than yours. Then there's my most concise: Civility, Substance, Subtlety, Style: Success Or when I wax poetic: They never say what they mean They never mean what they say What they say is never mean Their mean is well-conveyed |

You may have heard me say this:
Unsourced quotations are just gossip.

And you can quote me on this:
Old rock and roll hits never die. They simply become country classics.

I'm often heard talking to myself.
I'm the only one who listens to me. |
