I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too
Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It’s pretty cool to see.
Damn… that’s better that the muddy pig wrestling one and the pigeon chess one both.
Can’t argue with that
Whats the muddy pig wrestling one
Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it. George Bernard Shaw
Also copy/pasted from Goodreads, so not guaranteeing the accuracy that Shaw originally said it. Also usually worded in a more fun way.
What’s the pigeon one
“Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway.” Shannon L. Alder
Copy/pasted from Goodreads, I’m not actually verifying.
