Art is the illusion of spontaneity. I suppose this is because we want people to think that it is easy for us? I think I get it, but I don't agree with it.

Beginning is easy, continuing is hard. Beginning is much harder. Continuing can be hard too, but beginning is WAY harder. LoL

If you believe everything you read, better not read. I think this one can go for TV as well.

One kind word can warm three winter months. But can it cancel school when it is negative one billion degrees outside?

When the character of the man is not clear to you, look at his friends. What if you don't have any?

I have a Chinese proverb:

Man who drop watch in toilet bound to have s****y time.

Ok, so maybe its not a real proverb, but I thought it was funny.

Art is the illusion of sponteity. Didn't get that one either.

Beginning is easy- Continuing is hard.
You can't say the same for sky divers.

Don't stay long when the husband is not at home.
What if he's at work?

Fall down seven times, stand up eight. Wait, what?  That means that on your seventh fall, you'd have to stand up twice somehow, without falling again.

Gossip about a person and his shadow will appear.
So that's what that thing was.

If you believe everything you read, better not read.
This is for those who read the Inquirer.

In a quarrel, the higher voiced person will win.
So, Barry White would beat Jackie Chan?

Never rely on the glory of the morning nor the smiles of your mother-in-law. LOL

One kind word can warm three winter months.  That's why the ice caps are melting.

The reverse side also has a reverse side. Wow, this proverb has changed my life! Not!

When the character of the man is not clear to you, look at his friends. Yeah, this one actually makes sense.
