Humorous Sayings

For the wisdom of this age is foolishness with God. As it is written, 'He catches the wise in their craftiness.'

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

I repeat, let no one think me foolish. But even if you do, accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.

What I am saying with this boastful confidence, I say not as the Lord would, but as a fool.

For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men.

Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! Without us you have become kings! And would that you did reign, so that we might share the kingship with you!

For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?

So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.

If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.

But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

Those who know do not talk. Those who talk do not know.

A multitude of words is tiresome, unlike remaining centered.

When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everyone will respect you.

To attain knowledge, add things everyday. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.

Time is a created thing. To say 'I don't have time' is to say 'I don't want to.'

If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.

Stop thinking, and end your problems.

Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing.

Let people return to making knots on ropes, instead of writing.
