BITS OF MOSS
gathered by a rolling stone

A collection of sayings, some
as I found them (with apology to the author if I don't know who it is),
others which I modified or created.
They may or may not express my own point of view.
“What
you don't want to hear is what you most need to hear.”
“Anyone who
thinks much of himself, does not think much.”
“Learning that
does not increase, decreases.”
“It is easier to
be wise for others than for oneself.” — La
Rochefoucault
“If you use your mind you will sometimes
have to change it.”
“When
you win an argument, you haven't learnt anything.”
“Distrust trust, but
do not trust distrust.”
“The best way to know
a man's character is to listen to him speak about someone else.”
“The
ant that grows wings, is doomed.”
“No one has
enough, when everyone has too much.”
“Select
the best, reject the rest.” — JFC
“If you can't see the forest
for the trees,
you're not out of the woods yet.” —
JFC
“To
shelter yourself from the rain, don't jump into the pool.” —
JFC
“The wheel that squeaks gets the grease and, if that
doesn't silence it, it gets replaced.”
“Pray
that you will get, not what you pray for, but what you ought
to pray for.” — JFC
“Always put off until tomorrow the procrastinating
you could do today.” — JFC
“Take everything you hear
with a grain of salt,
put a grain of sugar
into everything you say.”
“The
exploitation of man by man provokes revolutions,
which
aim at reversing the situation.” — JFC
“You win some and you lose
some: success consists on winning a few big ones
and keeping small the ones you lose.” — JFC
“My country is not ONE country,
my country is all countries ...
No! It is the whole world as God has made it,
ONE and
without borders.”
JFC
All things are easy that are done for you by others.
Better an egg today than a chicken tomorrow.
“The
worst that you think can happen, is not the worst that can happen.
The
worst that can happen, is much worse and it will happen
if
you keep thinking about the worst that can happen,
instead
of doing all you can to make happen what you want to happen.”
JFC
“Whoever throws mud loses ground.”
He
who laughs last ... doesn't share my sense of
humor.
You
can make a difference
"My
country is ONE..." in
many languages (and more languages are
desired: can you add one?)
Never
too old to be young.
Never
too young to be wise.
I
have questions... do you have answers?
We
have answers... do you have questions?

for the strongest chain.
All
the stuff that made room for more and may yet
make it back.
