This is just for fun. I like statements that are inherently ironic and hoped to share and also pick up some new ones.

Here are some to get it started.

"All generalizations are false"
"Statistics are only 50% accurate"
"Hindsight is 50-50"

37 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

All people named (insert your name here) are liars.

Not a declaration, but...

"What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Never use a big word when a diminutive one will do.

Abbreviation.

Monosyllabic.

Long words for shortening things.

I respect that man.
He is so good-hearted and in the position to do good.
Yet he is like a child who is being manipulated.
I pity that man.

(a poem I made. In an SJ world, respect and pity are often on different ends of the spectrum)
