Your Daily dose of Pratchett Wisdoms

“His philosophy was a mixture of three famous schools -- the Cynics, the Stoics and the Epicureans -- and summed up all three of them in his famous phrase, 'You can't trust any bugger further than you can throw him, and there's nothing you can do about it, so let's have a drink.”
Terry Pratchett, Small Gods 

 “He'd noticed that sex bore some resemblance to cookery: it fascinated people, they sometimes bought books full of complicated recipes and interesting pictures, and sometimes when they were really hungry they created vast banquets in their imagination - but at the end of the day they'd settle quite happily for egg and chips. If it was well done and maybe had a slice of tomato.”
Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant 
 
“What have I always believed?
That on the whole, and by and large, if a man lived properly, not according to what any priests said, but according to what seemed decent and honest inside, then it would, at the end, more or less, turn out all right.”
Terry Pratchett, Small Gods 
 
 “Death: 'Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know, that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom.'”
Terry Pratchett, Hogfather
 
  “Of course I'm sane, when trees start talking to me, I don't talk back.”
Terry Pratchett, The Light Fantastic
 
  “Sometimes the truth is arrived at by adding all the little lies together and deducting them from the totality of what is known.”
Terry Pratchett, Going Postal
