Eddy are you moderating? I'm just wondering because I'm sure my Spanish version will need a fair bit of work lol and I'd like to know how to say a couple of things in there properly if someone wouldn't mind helping :) - Kiwi-Girl, May 20, 2011

I always feel a bit of pity for angry drivers. They put themselves through so much stress and aggravation that they suffer needlessly.

Why chose to live like that?


When anger rises, think of the consequences. --Confucius

I want that T shirt. - MaryMcc, May 19, 2011
Umm, not really "bad" English - just "broken" --- & "confucing". I like t-shirt, too! - Lector_Constante, May 19, 2011
Confucious said it, not me. :) - Tosh, May 19, 2011

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance. ~ Confucius

What if your ignorance is boundless? Makes me a know-it-all, I reckon... ;-) - cristalino, May 19, 2011
I don't think Confucius said this; he was much too savvy. There is no one who can claim "limited ignorance" and where it's boundaries are ... - Lector_Constante, May 19, 2011
I don't think he said anything about driving like hell either Lector. But this one must be true, I read it on a blog: http://www.awakeblogger.com/2008/09/confucius-says-the-top-10-quotes-by-confucius/ ;) - rabbitwho, May 20, 2011

Butcher who back into meat-grinder, get a little behind in his orders.

El carnicero que retrocede (camina hacia atrás??) en la trituradora de carne, se retrasa en sus pedidos.

(obviously only works in English and I'm sure the Spanish version leaves a lot to be desired, I didn't know how to say back into or get behind, let alone meat grinder or orders for that matter lol.)

One of my personal favorites (probably not attributable to ol' Confucius):

"Wife who put husband in doghouse soon find him in cat house."
