Here's a genuinely ancient one that's always been a favourite of mine.

The wise man speaks when he thinks he has something to say, the fool speaks when he thinks has to say something - Plato

The best thing about my childhood is that it's over.

Never send a boy to do a man's job.

Never send anyone to do something you never did yourself.

When in doubt don't do anything.

It's just a job Charlie. Just a job.

Why buy the cow if you're getting the milk for free.

It's not the years. It's the mileage.

anyone could be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Dad.

there's no such thing as control. control is an illusion.

don't believe anything you hear and 1/2 of what you see.

The Master was taking his daily walk when he came across one of his students.
"Good morning Master."

"Good morning grasshopper. How have you been?"

"I've been very well Master. "I've been practicing everything you've taught me and now I feel I have even surpassed you and come into my own."

"Oh really lil hopper and how that? Can you explain?"

"I've incorporated all the skills you taught me, and have added my own. This I feel has lifted me up and above everything we ever did. I've arrived."

"Lil hopper. Don't ever let your ego and pride get the best of you. You will only be disappointed and confused when the truth rises and quenches your thirst."

"How so Master? Please explain. I'm beginning to feel confused already."

"Lil hopper. You could never surpass me by coming into your own. I've taught you everything you know. Not everything I know. Coming into your own will never suffice."

"Master forgive me for giving in to human desires and disrespecting you. I now know why they call you Master."

At that instant the Master took out his cane of bamboo and struck the grasshopper 3 times on the head before a blink of his eye.

"Ouch that hurt."

"Yes it did lil hopper and that's why I'm the Master!" With that the Master left with a small grin and continued with his daily walk.

"We are known by the company we keep"
