“In shallow holes moles make fools of dragons”
Proverb
“The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath.”
W. C. Fields
“Confiding a secret to an unworthy person is like carrying grain in a bag with a hole”
African Proverb
“I'm frightened of eggs, worse than frightened, they revolt me. That white round thing without any holes have you ever seen anything more revolting than an egg yolk breaking and spilling its yellow liquid? Blood is jolly, red. But egg yolk is yellow, revolting. I've never tasted it.”
Alfred Hitchcock
“You can't fit a round peg in a square hole”
American Proverb
“If a square peg doesn’t fit a round hole, neither the peg nor the hole is to blame. Between two people, the question "whose fault is it?" is the friend of argumentation and the destroyer of growth-oriented communication. Assigning blame involves listening to criticize and responding to defend, speaking to lower the other person rather than speaking to build each up. Relational progress is impossible as long as blame is the focus because blame and progress are enemies. In our litigation-hungry society we must take care that focusing on fault - which is proper for the courtroom - doesn’t carry over into interpersonal relationships. The heart of loving communication is listening to understand.”
Jeffrey Bryant
“Par is whatever I say it is. I've got one hole that's a par 23 and yesterday I damn near birdied the sucker.”
Willie Nelson
“The tired and thirsty prospector threw himself down at the edge of the watering hole and started to drink. But then he looked around and saw skulls and bones everywhere. "Uh-oh," he thought. "This watering hole is reserved for skeletons."”
Jack Handy
“When the mice laugh at the cat, there is a hole nearby”
