Lest li naqta' idi l-leminija biex inkun nista' nuża żewġ idejn.

Meta t-triq tinfired fi tnejn, segwiha.

Tista' tosserva ħafna jekk sempliċiment toqgħod tħares.

Ħadd m'għadu jmur hemm. Ikun hemm wisq folol

Ma nistax nikkonċentra meta nkun qed naħseb.

Il-futur m'għadux dak li kien.

Lit-tfal mhux se nixtrilhom enċiklopedija. Jistgħu imorru l-iskola bil-mixi bħalma kont nagħmel jien.

Intlifna, imma qed inħaffu.

Nofs il-gideb li jgħidu fuqi m'humiex vera.

Sitta m'għadhiex tiswa sold.

Qisu deja-vu għal darb'oħra.

It-tellieqa sal-barkun.

Is-Sinjura Lindsay: "Tidher vera frisk." Yogi Berra: Grazzi, int ma tantx tidher sħuna lanqas"

Kieku d-dinjka kienet perfetta ma kinitx tezisti
