While laughing at others stupidity, you may want to contemplate your own comedic talents (seemed appropriate for some)
Abstract thoughts are a lot easier then the concrete actions based upon them
The concept of beauty may be elusive, but a rose is simply beautiful
It is often your choice whether excrement is shit or fertilizer
Think about it !!!
In war it does not matter who is right, but who is left.

Ok, here's my 5 cents worth (inflation)
Fools rush in where wise people tread carefully.
Do unto others as they do to you. Only do it first!
Sanity is only a majority vote (c) Me!
Life is too short to take it seriously. (c) Me!
We are here for a good time, not a long time. (c) Me!
The most beautiful Sakura (Cherry Blossoms) fall early in the festival. (c) Me!
And not a one liner, but very powerful:
Life is suffering because of desire and attatchment. Desire and attachment can be eliminated by following the eightfold noble path leading to elightenment. "The four noble truths of Buddhism" Buddha.
Everyone has a duty to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
Enjoy!
Smile. It makes everyone wonder what you've been doing and with whom!
Thanks for the post Medusa!!
Unlike most of the stuff I learnt in the 'big institution', philospohy
is something one can incorporate into every day life. It effectively
elimintates arrogance and ignorance in one foul swoop.This is my
sanity pill...
Some for the sensitive RHP'ers:
Epictetus"If you hear that someone is speaking ill of you, instead of trying to defend yourself you should say:
'He obviously does not know me very well, since there are so many other faults he could have mentioned'."(Enchiridion)
Marcus Aurelius"I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men,
but yet sets less value on his own opinion of himself than on the opinion of others"[Meditations]
Reality check:
Alfred North Whitehead"Scientists animated by the purpose of proving that they are purposeless constitute an interesting
subject for study."[The Function of Reason]
Happy Thinking!!

It is true that many mistakes look stupid with hindsight, but always remember that foresight is usually less clear
No matter how much it hurts, failure today just shows you a challenge for tomorrow
Food for thought :)

But wait theres more !!!!!
A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way :)
A man may sometimes be forgiven the kiss to which he is not entitled, but never the kiss he has not the initiative to claim.
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. A wise man does not need advice and a fool won't take it.
Those who criticize our generation forget who raised it.
I don’t know what the key to success is, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.
enjoy
