Solid Gold Truisms - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

What are the truisms that are never wrong?

If someone starts a sentence with, "I'm not a doctor, but..." you can ignore whatever comes next.

If you ask a girl out and she doesn't immediately give you her number and/or make tentative plans, she is not into you.

“This above all: to thine own self be true.”

What else?

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

Almost nothing happens for a reason.

If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.

No such thing as a free lunch.

You gotta serve somebody.

You can't always get what you want...

if someone says "no offense but...." they're about to say something incredibly offensive.
if someone says "I'm not racist but...." they're about to say something incredibly racist.

money can absolutely buy happiness, at least temporarily.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.
