Cool sayings you've heard.

[Paikis]

I heard a cool saying today and thought I'd ask if anyone else had any good ones?

The saying went thusly:
"Before you shout at someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes over hot coals. That way when you start shouting, you're a mile away over hot coals and you've got their shoes."

I was laughing at that for a good 5 minutes. Anyone else got any they'd like to share?

Some of GladOs' quotes were great. Also Wheatley.

Did you just quote yourself? I lol'd.

"Mother is the name for God on the hearts and lips of all children"

It may just be a quote from a film but it really rings true when you think about it.

"It does not matter about the circumstances of your birth. It is what you do with the gift of life that defines who you are."

"A truly tolerant society is one where someone can make a joke about somebody else and everybody laughs"

That's all I can really think of myself at the moment. You can find these philosophical messages where you least expect them. Just have a think.
