Words of Wisdom for the Modern Age IN This ARTICLE: Wisdom today means something different for the young, modem Western generation. Wisdom of the ancients always served civilisation well. In the age of the TV sitcom , witty New York repartee and the instant one-liner, Western wisdom in the modern sense can mean something more like the dialogue from an American sitcom. Heres sampling of the some of the wittier one-lines circulating through Western society circles these days: I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow is not looking good either. I love deadlines. I especially like the wooshing sound they make as they go flying by. Tell me what you need, and Ill tell you how to get along without it. Accept that some days you are the pigeon and some days the statue. Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If they arent there the first time, chances are you wont be needing them again. On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key. You are slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter. Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, because you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup. Everybody is somebody elses weirdo. Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. |
