Many years ago Daniel (@kinnison), Richard, and I kept a group blog called Yakking. One of the best things we wrote was a series on truisms. This was by Daniel, with some input from the rest of us. I still recommend these. They're very deep truths, despite being surface-level funny.

is my favorite from the Zen of python by Tim Peters, mostly because it's not just true but also has a bit of a melody to it when you read or say it.
