“Never argue with an idiot because the best possible outcome is that you’ll win an argument with an idiot” I also like “there are some things in life you can’t change, so you shouldn’t worry about them, and there are some things in life you can change, so you shouldn’t worry about them”

If idioms count then my favorite is this one: "I see," said the blind man to his deaf wife over the phone. My father would always say that to me growing up if i took too long to explain something 😅
“I see,” said the blind man to his deaf wife as he picked up his hammer and saw. |

Here's a few from my time in the service: "An okay plan applied immediately and vigorously is way better than a perfect plan ten minutes too late." "Are you willing to do it? No? Then don't ask your troops to do it." "In the event that signals can neither be seen nor clearly understood, no Captain can do very wrong if he puts his ship alongside that of an enemy." |

A couple from a co-worker: If you don't have time to do it correctly now, what makes you think you will have time to fix it later. Remember, you are not stuck in traffic, you are traffic. And a couple from my grandmother: Don't study drunk, but if you do at least be a little tipsy when you take the test. Don't do anything to your car to make it stand it to the police. |

"Sometimes, at the end of a sentence, I come out with completely the wrong fusebox. The problem with using the wrong words is a. that I don't always notice, and b. orange water gibbon bucket of plaster." I think of this often and have to say we can all learn something from it. [Note to add: it's a throwaway line from Monty Python sketch. Second note to add: TheWrongFusebox was my reddit usernam...

Big fan of "The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth" Garry Kasparov (2015) That is to say, don't let them shut you up. There is a longer, more historical version of this but it escapes me at the moment. I can only find the Hannah Arendt quote (1974) "This constant lying is not aimed at making the peop...
