Aphorisms for modern times – the unsolicited Part 2

Part 1 of our series on modern aphorisms had an erudite introduction. Part 2 doesn’t.

Here is our second selection of aphorisms for modern times. Wise, true, memorable, concise – these are none of the words that describe our efforts:

None of us are as stupid as all of us - except the really stupid ones

It's not big, and it's not clever, but it was pretty funny

If wishes were fishes you'd stink of mackerel

On the path less travelled you are more likely to sprain your ankle

Just because it feels right doesn't make it legal

Behind every successful man is a right wing think tank funded by billionaires

Let lying dogs sleep

Spare the rod and spoil the emu

The road to Hell is full of potholes

Truth Social is stranger than fiction

He who laughs last misses the next gag

If it is worth doing, someone else will eventually do it

A fairy tale is a horror story to prepare children for the newspapers

Ever notice, when finally you’ve got to a position where you’re holding all the cards,

that everybody else is playing chess?

Who cares if the world is full of apathetic people?

A fool and his money are soon partying.

These modern aphorisms are based on the collective wisdom of modelmaker, FlashArry, amd deskpilot
