General

For when you feel really bad

For when you are waiting, just waiting for something to happen

For when you are looking for something and you don't know for what

For when you are looking for truth

For when you can not make a decision

For when there is too much work

For when life is hard

For when someone broke your heart

For when you feel like a loser

For when you think you are ugly

For when you are in pain

For when you feel lonely

For when you are afraid

For when you have done something really stupid

For when something terrible has happened to you

For when you are trying very hard and not having any success

For when you have to say goodbye

For when you are dead


Clichés on clichés

            

For when there is too much work


There will come a day when all the work is finished or when it is too late to finish it

Most of the work is being done to counter the effects of other people’s work: when we all agree to work half as much, the total result would be the same.

Most people don’t even know why they feel they have to work

When the work is done, I will have time for myself

The world goes to shit when I don’t do this first

You get nothing for free

Poor planning on your part does not create an emergency on my part

Hurry when you have time, then you'll have time when you are in a hurry

I always complained because my work was being interupted - until I realised the interuptions were my work.

Haste makes waste

If you had time to do it twice, you had time to do it right the first time
