Nu minns jag inte var jag fick det ifrån, men jag har för mig att det var nån 10-åring som vann en aforism-tävling (detta känns som om jag kan ha läst igår kväll i VI läser-tidningen om Björn Ranelid, men jag kan ha fel) med följande:
Ingen människa är så liten att hon inte når upp till sitt eget hjärta. En 10-åring!
Här kommer fler klokheter. Gillar formatet: Roligt och kort.
(Apropå roligt och kort måste jag bara berätta en galghumoristisk sak som vår hemlärare Mattias K berättade för oss igår. Han var ute med missionärerna vid ett tillfälle och de knackade på en dörr där en 17-åring öppnade. Killen blev helt till sig och sa: För en stund sen mådde jag väldigt dåligt och jag bad faktiskt till Gud, och så kommer ni här! Wow! Han bjöd in dem och missionärerna började berätta. Men när de hade förklarat vad Mormons bok var och frågade honom om han ville läsa ett stycke i den, svarade killen: "Nej, det är så tråkigt att läsa. Och förresten mår jag bättre nu, så ni kan gå.")
Här kommer klokheterna:

– Evening news is where they begin with ‘Good evening,’ and then proceed to tell you why it isn’t.
– To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.
– A bus station is where a bus stops. A railway station is where a train stops. My desk is a work station.

– I didn’t say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
