A long long list of Charlie Chan's aphorisms. They're great - sparkle with inscrutability, wit, and wisdom.
Here's a baker's dozen of them:
Best to slip with foot than with tongue.
Birds never divide worm until safe in nest.
Can cut off monkey's tail, but he is still monkey.
Cannot see contents of nut until shell is cracked.
Cat who tries to catch two mice at one time, goes without supper.
Cornered rat usually full of fight.
Door of opportunity swing both ways.
Fear is cruel padlock.
Grain of sand in eye may hide mountain.
Rising generation sit too much.
Slippery man sometimes slip in own oil.
Smart fly keep out of gravy.
Two ears for every tongue.
And some of Homer Simpson's Words of Wisdom
"You're saying butt-kisser like it's a bad thing!"
"You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel."
"You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'."
"God bless those pagans."
"I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me, Superman!"
