Quotes To Live By

I have compiled some useful quotes that will help everyone in dealing with life. Happy reading!

"If you can't convince them, confuse them."
- Simple lang. This is most useful at work. When your boss doesn't have any idea or just have a very little background about the project you're working on, you could apply this quote. Try using super-technical, project-related words when your boss is asking for an explanation about a problem found in your project.

"He who asks for the bill, pays for the food."
- You can only use this on restaurants, obviously, and when you're with your friends. Don't even try to apply this quote when you're with your gf or crush, that's a big No-No. Don't ever ask the bill after you're group is done eating. Let someone else do that. Tapos hiritan mo ng "Ops, sa yo binigay yung bill... kaw na magbayad... libre mo na kami." Of course, this doesn't always work, especially if you're with frugal people.

"Better late than pregnant."
- This only applies for women. Let me clear that. This only applies to women having sex without any intention of getting pregnant. Much better. Of course, this quote talks about women's monthly period. You'd have this happen to you after having unprotected sex with your bf or hubby or FuBu or whoever you picked up somewhere.

"He who laughs last, is stupid."
- This quote applies to everyone. When you hear an uber funny joke, observe your friends or the people around you who also heard the same joke. Watch who laughs last. If you saw that person, don't ever seat beside him/her during exams or don't work on the same project with him/her cause he's/she's definitely stupid. Why? Damn, it took way too long for him/her to get the punchline.

"All is fair, when nobody's looking."
- You can do all the dirty tricks you know and no one's gonna judge ya. If your opponent complains, ask for proof. He/she won't be able to present one cause there ain't any witnesses to back him/her up.

"If you love her, marry her."
- Why be stupid letting her go? C'mon man. If you really love her, then marry her. Don't be a fool waiting for her to come back when she leaves. What if she doesn't? You're doing yourself a great favor by having her and avoiding pain. It's just simple arithmetic.

"Don't count the chicks, if you don't know how to count."
- Do I need to explain this further? Let someone else do the counting for you.

"If at first you don't succeed, join other contests."
- Well, it's not like you can join the same contests multiple times.

"Try and try, as long as it's free."
- This is very useful in stores, supermarkets, and other food houses. This could also be useful for other products but I'd rather use food as an example. If there are food samples in the supermarket, don't hesitate to take as much as you want. They're giving that for free, why hold yourself?


There are a lot of other quotes that you can use and apply into your daily lives. Next time, we'll talk about Filipino quotes.

Have a nice day!
