I have a number of these. And I don’t think the philosophy discussion thread is a good place for them.
Should this be “Philosophizing memes?”
MT wasn’t a philosopher last I knew.

MT was a working man’s philosopher.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
Mark Twain
All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.

Oh shit, now we have to discuss what is philosophy and whether a philosophy expressed in a satirical context like Machiavelli’s “The Prince” still considered philosophy.
This is a meme thread after all, and not the heavy-duty philosophy discussion thread.
I figure this will be philosophical sayings with some celebrity’s mug on it.

Or, as someone said of the future envisaged by the nanny state, “Imagine a hand shoving a cookie into a child’s face- forever.”
I’d go with the Taiwanese custom of force feeding the sacrificial pig before the lucky day arrives at the temple.
But yes, cookies will do.
I find the concept of time to be underwhelming.
