I like short truth. Don’t you? Don’t you just love it when just a few words get it right?
As a writer I try to cultivate the art of brevity. My favorite way to do that is to write Thought Proverbs, aphorisms and epigrams.
Here are a few of my most recent. Hope you enjoy them. Let me know what you think by posting a comment or choosing a favorite. Thanks!
Lives slow, die fast, leave a fully used corpse.
Knock it down; drag it out; don’t forget to stomp on it.
Achieve great things — being content.
A saying is a slaying; it massacres untruth.
All snide remarks originate in serious forethoughts.
Some charm with leg and arm, and some with loyalty.
The wise crack; fools remain grimly reformative.
Wonder through windows; will yourself through walls.
Agency eats fate for breakfast, chance for lunch and apathy for dinner.
It takes guts to shut up.
All things talk; very few things listen.
Sorry– it’s a form of glory.
Saying sorry is easy, being sorry more like queazy.
To annihilate the efficacy of apology, persistently offend.
A feeling sends us reeling; a thought catches us.
Strive not for a great nation; labor mightily for a great world.
All speakers elaborate; the really good ones lie shamelessly.
Embellish all your stories; this will engender widespread approval and universal credibility.
The mind and heart must both collude to have a shot at quietude.
I am only as safe to you as I am to me.
Telling the truth will earn you public enemies; lying will earn you private ones.
Fame is height, for the short.
Much of what we don’t know about others we don’t want to.
We relieve one end in private, spew from the other in public.
Eat sand; blast injustice.
Be present; gifts surround you.
Conversations are gifts, points of view, largesse.
To book a colonoscopy is brave; to actually go to one shows a stunning lack of self-regard.
Know before you go.
To live fully, quit thinking overly.
The most addictive sedative is simply the repetitive.
Knock and you will be denied; pull out your wallet, and it will be given unto you.
Every family silence tilts towards a family tragedy.
The theft of depth leaves us bereft.
Urgency loves an emergency.
Wisdom lies beyond policy.
Our soul is always trying to tell us what we need.
Everything carries a song; not everything sings it.
A bed is safe, but a world is an adventure.
To suffer is to discover ourselves.
Think fast; choose slow.
As long as one person is empty none of us are full.
