Life is too important to be taken serious.

All is in the hands of man. Therefore wash them often.

U think accidents only happens to your nabour, but suddenly your the nabour.

A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

Its better to keep your mouth shut and make people think your an idiot, than to open your mouth and remove all doubts.

Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend's success.

The secret of happiness is to make others believe they are the cause of it.

Always do what you want, and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

Erara humanum est = its human to fail.




Still keep them coming!

nothing deeply insighful here:

"I know lots of people who used to ski, but I don't know anyone who used to snowboard.




this one is a bit more thoughtful:
(suitable for me since I'm in the Architecture field)

As Frank Lloyd Wright once said, "The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization."

But then again, Frank Lloyd Wright also said, "I think Marilyn Monroe's architecture is extremely good architecture."

"If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere."
