Pretty Good Tote Bag

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
But sometimes you can make a pretty good tote bag.

Augmented Proverb

Won't Get Fooled Again

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.

Anthony Weldon

Don't Waste Your Time

Never try to teach a pig to sing.
You waste your time and
you annoy the pig.

Mark Twain

Nothing is Lacking

Human refinement will never make a more beautiful,
simple, or direction invention than nature, for in her
inventions nothing is lacking, nothing is superfluous.

Leonardo da Vinci

Find Out for Yourself

Nobody is going to pour truth into your brain.
It's something you have to find out for yourself.

Noam Chomsky

Arguing with a Fool

Never argue with a fool.
Onlookers may not be able
to tell the difference.

Mark Twain
