What's your "saying" for the day?

I’ll start.

“You don’t get to pick what shakes your world…but you do get to pick what stabilizes it.”

“You can’t hack your destiny, brute force…you need a back door, a side channel into Life.”
― Clyde DeSouza

“Don’t judge or else you will be judged” from the Bible.

‘all dressed up like a pox doctor’s clerk’, makes me giggle. I love it. You’d use it like “Did you see John today? He was all dressed up like a pox doctor’s clerk”. There are a couple of different definitions. It means someone is very dressed up, but it could be understood as the person being dressed flashily and in bad taste, or as being dressed up, but looking uncomfortable in their duds.

I also like phrases like ‘spare prick at a wedding’,. Which would be used in a sentence like “I was invited to lunch with John and Mary today and I felt like a spare prick at a wedding”.

Don’t listen to broke people.

Zanetto, lascia le donne e studia la matematica.

(Johnny, why don’t you leave women alone and study mathematics instead?)
