“Most generalizations suck.”
A short one I disagree with: “You can’t fight City Hall.”
“We are that which we pretend to be.”
Perhaps too long for your tastes, but this one sticks with me.
Speaking of sticky: “Ideas are sticky.”
“Anyone who will gossip to you will gossip about you.”
A(nother) great reminder not to get sucked into conversations that are not news but gossip.
“Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.”

The hardest thing to do and the right thing to do are usually the same thing.
“It was like that when I got here.”
“So’s yer old man.”
“Workers of the world, unite.”
“WWMRD: What would Mister Rogers do?”
