Witty remarks 1

My favorite one is "English witty remarks", and now I want to write down some remarks here because I want to delete them from the data folder.
*When angry blinds the mind, truth disappears. (a German proverb)
*All things are possible until they are proved impossible- and even the impossible may only be so, as of now. (Pearl Buck)

*Make the most of yourself for that is all there is to you. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
*If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun. (Katharine Hepburn)
*A man who has to be convinced before he acts is not a man of action. You must act as breathe. (Georges Clemenceau)
*There is only one thing about which I am certain, and that is that there is very little about which one can be certain. (William Somerset Maugham)

I remembered that bertolt Brecht's saying "Rules keep it alive only by being broken".
And also I remembered Syuji Terayama's saying "Miserable is the age when there's no maxims. More miserable is the age when maxims are needed.
I thought this is a palody of Brecht's saying. He changed the word "heros" into "maxims".
I'm not sure this translating is understandable...
