    Lightbulb clever one-line philosophers

    Hello,

    Make some philosophers, for example, here's mine:

    Life is not always lively, but death is always deadly.

    (I meant make some of your own one line philosophers) Sorry if i was not clear about that!

    Mae West was my favourite one line philosopher, she came out with yards of them and all better than I could ever manage.

    Practice doesn't make perfect, it makes improvement... if you're lucky.

    To all the bacon I have loved,
    there will always be a special place in my heart for you,
    at least until the Doctor scrapes it off.

    When life gives you lemons, give life a paper cut and squeeze lemon juice on the paper cut and scream, "I hate lemons, stupid life!"

    Regret is not only a futile emotion, but a small form of self-loathing.
    Make no life, but write this.

    There's a chance people would have understood right from the start, before the Edit, if they hadn't been dragged off-track by an incorrect noun. The word that should have been used is "philosophies". A philosopher is one who philosophises.
