truisms - Saying you have found true

[Cattoon]

No good deed goes unpunished.

[HemlockKing]

This is a saying that is supposed to make you feel better when something bad happens "it's never so bad that it couldn't be worse" has never worked for me personally.

This one may work better for you, it has for me:
"It could always be worse, and if you wait a little while, it will be"

Hopefully corley5 doesn't see this...

One that I always found to ring true after years of working with bad managers who blamed the results of their poor decision making skills on the people under them was:
"The beatings will continue until morale improves'
 After due consideration and thought I realized what forced me into retirement. The corporate version of this which I find is extremely true in these recent years is:
 "The beatings will continue until profits improve."

Couple of my favorites from Will Rogers

I had a friend that was a builder and went bankrupt . I liked his explanation 
" I lost money on every job but tried to make up for it in quantity. "

Growing up it was an honest answer

Q: Why did you do that?

A:  Because the chicks dig it.  ;D

Tom,

   The way I heard it in the USMC was "There will be no leave, liberty, mail or pay until morale improves."

That's the same thing that my jar head father always told me.

@Magicman 
Lynn, it's funny that you bring that up, after I had gone through my first one, I did a short "Open Mic" nite summary of the whole experience. The closer was a real hit, as I expounded on the Good and Bad regarding being the last patient on the roster for a given day....
After intimating that at least the equipment was all warmed up, I said: "You know how you can figure out if you were the last patient? I figured it out when I saw two Beer Bottle caps and a roach in the bathroom next morning". It killed....

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

Even if it is a controlled crash landing.

It is actually a 'controlled impact with terrain'. It is never a crash, those are unprofessional. ;D
