Bad Aphorisms

Dare to hope, aspire to succeed, strive to excel, stop making so many to-do lists.

You are most likely unaware of how many problems you face, and that’s a big problem.

Poised at the brink of precipitous disaster, a man must pull back and consider taking the long way around or perhaps a bridge.

That which does not kill you probably left a trail of evidence and is fully prosecutable.

A scoped rifle and a clock tower will get you onto the evening news.

Fight for what you believe, and fail at it. Get up and try again. By the third time, reconsider your commitment to such a stupid idea.

Throughout history there have been moments like these when we must reflect on history.

Never open with a funny story. You’re not very good at it.

    I like the last one, especially. Our son says, “Dad is pretty funny when he’s not trying to be. When he tries, he’s annoying.”
