Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.

The initial context was running/fitness, but it pretty much applies to all walks of life. Even, I guess, following the Albion :thumbsup:

Don't piss against the wind.

To make it sound more profound you can say it in Latin: non urinat contra ventum.

I actually came up with one last night when chatting to the wife and if someone like Freud had said it it would have probably have gone down in history.

"Sometimes intuition is the best form of medicine".

I guess it only makes sense if you understood what context in which it was said.

Actually, it's s**t isn't it?

Heard Russell Brand say this on a podcast in relation to war, hatred, racism etc. Thought it was rather profound.

Following on from the great quote from Men Behaving Badly, here is one from White Men Can't Jump...

'Sometimes when you win, you really lose, and sometimes when you lose, you really win, and sometimes when you win or lose, you actually tie, and sometimes when you tie, you actually win or lose. Winning or losing is all one organic mechanism, from which one extracts what one needs.'

Heard this the other day and it's my new favourite. Whats yours?

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
