3. (I believe my) „wisdom”:
-
If someone casts stone at you, throw thunderbolts at him. -
Heroes do not die in wars, but suffer stroke in marriage. -
Wisdom is the greatest force.
- Do
not expect a saint to be champion of sex.
- Show
me your toilet (W.C.) and I’ll know who you are.
- Alcohol
is the salt of life.
- Intelligence
and modesty are good brothers.
- Politeness
is a mirror of wisdom.
- Even
the most brutal oppressor calls himself saviour (and the most stupid
ones tend to believe they are, as does Bush).
- Time
is money, money distorts characters: never try to save time.
- If
you believe you are absolutely right, you are absolutely wrong.
- To
be loved when your love died away is like chewing sand.
- Politicians
are sick of power, they must be controlled by psychologists.
- Jealousy
is the engine of development. - National flags, anthems, insignia, marches disseminate hatred. The human race should get rid of all this rubbish. We shall never be able to avoid wars unless we remove them from the national pantheons. -
Politicians are unable to think and behave as human beings. -
If your head swims, drink, you’ll forget about the original cause. -
If the well of your neighbour is deeper and cleaner than yours, do
not jump into it, you may be drowned. -
Even the most „righteous” victories are temporary. (My warning
to Bush.) -
European Union is definitely a bigger and cleaner dung-pit, than
our chamber-pot, I hope there will be space at least to swim. In our pot 4
pcs of shit try to swim in 8 directions and they are surprised that all
their attempts are finished in running their heads against the wall. (The
comparison is with Hungary.) - Every death of poverty-stricken human beings is the shame of the whole human race! - The sight of lay persons is dim. Politicians - since they suffer from multiple non-professionalism - are blind. - Time and hair heal all wounds. - Masses are stupid, but still wiser than their leaders. - Democracy never existed. What we call democracy is a failure: it is based on the votes of stupid masses. Fighting for these stupid masses the even more stupid leaders - as a rule - commit stupidities. - Of all ugly human institutions the worst is wife. - Of all lovely human institutions the best is child. - Translate the Hungarian szerelem with one word into your language and you'll understand life. - Humiliation of a dictator is a brave step, humiliation of a nation is stupid, humiliation of a race is heinous crime. - The USA is emerging nation - emerging from the status of a simple gendarme of the world to the throne of rude oppressors. - Uniform is the best tool to convert human beings into animals. - It is better to spend your time in a pub than to sit on your wife's skirt. - Economic and political systems may change, stupidity and scoundrelism remain everlasting. - Standing ovation is the best sign that a crazy dictator is the orator. - He/she who is living on this Earth and believes he/she is sane, is insane! - Absurd barriers generate absurd behaviour. - Mojito, ergo sum! - Hungarian Tokaji, Russian vodka and Czech beer could not be spoilt even by communism
4. Anecdotes (If I
know the source I indicate it in brackets) : -
„A small grey sparrow is walking proudly in the dust of the street. A
cow, looking down
at her, drops her dung on the sparrow. The little
one is not feeling well under the dung and is trying to climb out. A
cat notices the strangely moving dung, is trying to find out what is under
it, pulls the sparrow out and eats her up happily. What are the lessons? a.
If you are a small grey sparrow and dung is dropped on you, better
keep quiet. b.
The one who pulls you out of dung is not necessarily your friend. c. The one who drops dung on you is not necessarily your enemy. - TOILET HUMOR: I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying: "Hi, how are you?" I'm not the type to start a conversation in the men's restrooms at a rest stop but, I don't know what got into me, so I answered, somewhat embarrassedly: "Doin Just Fine!" - And the other guy says: "So what are you up to?" What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say: "Uhhh I'm like you, just traveling east!" At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question. - " Can I come over to your place after while?" OK, this question is just wacky but I figured I could just be polite and end the conversation. - I tell him, "Well, I have company over so today is a bad day for me!" Then I hear the guy say nervously... "LISTEN!!! I'll have to call you back, there's an
