All aphorisms, All the time...................

 From James Geary's blog of the same name:


"Men see themselves in women’s eyes; women trust the mirror."


"Small fish live in shallow water."


"Responsibility: the rejection of excuses."


"It’s easy to write history. All the eyewitnesses are dead."


"People drown in shallow thoughts."


"Truth: the most powerful and disarming of weapons. To 
believe that you can deceive without detection is self-
deception. To admit error is to treat acid with a base."


"Some answers need to be questioned."


"Conduct yourself so that everyone can rely on you; 
be wary in choosing those on whom you rely."


"You have to bow to reach the top."


"I’m well over sixty. That’s not always true. Sometimes 
I’m fairly ill over it"


"Buy what you need and you will never want. Buy what 
you want and you will forever be in need."


"When you are free to choose, the choice is compulsory."


"The two certainties in life: Death and Taxes. Well, it’s time to add a third: Mistakes. Work, therefore, must be checked, rechecked, and checked again. Even then, some mistakes, like pests, will persist; but by then, those that remain, hopefully, will be harmless."
