Quotable One-Liners by Anurag Sharma

Anurag Sharma

Sometimes, an idea flashes in my mind and then refuses to get out of it. My way of getting rid of a stubborn thought is by burying it deep down in my notebook before attempting to forget about it. Sometimes I am so sad to see the damage done by a common saying, or belief that I feel like countering it. That's how my one-liners are born most of the time. Here are a few FYRP. - Anurag Sharma

• Don't act, just act!
• Fix problem, not responsibility
• Ignorance is extremely thrilling
• Food doesn't kill, company does
• Past isn't here, future is still there
• A perfect rumor has an expiry date
• The best can always get a little better
• Art can't stand on its own, furniture does
• Today's childishness is tomorrow's youth
• Where there is a will, there is an attorney
• Today's greed destroys tomorrow's goods
• A company is known by the men it keeps
• Generosity brightens the darkest situations
• Lasting relationships are like one-way roads
• The disease gets deceased by killing the patient
• Visibility enables trust, familiarity brings comfort
• I hate being pregnant, I love being a parent though
• One who supports everyone, actually supports none
• Irony is when your laptop is lighter than your phone
• Patience without power is like a candle without wick
• What finish line? Nice guys never cared about rat race
• Every outsider is a potential insider from the other side
• Being thankful is a world apart from just saying thanks
• You build your character, while others build your image
• You are not frugal until you use coupons at a dollar store
• Friendship requires more than one, breakup needs just one
• Your Facebook friend list is an indicator of your reliability
• Avoiding minor conflicts will eventually drag you into major wars
• Power exposes the corrupt. Absolute power exposes them absolutely
• Every resistance has a price tag and you can buy as much as you can afford
• Half the mess is caused by human errors, the rest is due to the correction efforts
• The job of turning dreams into reality can be outsourced, not the act of dreaming
• 'God bless you' doesn't necessarily indicate one's faith. It indicates good intentions
• Power is always a weakness, though a shortcoming can turn into strength occasionally
• A rikishi* resists the power of the opponent while a judoka** manipulates it - Agility wins
• If you have so many friends that you can't count them, you probably can't count on them either
• Characters make good stories, authors make them better, but the best ones are decided by the readers
• The intellect of the authoritarians is recognized by force, the authority of the intellectuals is a paradox.

*rikishi = a wrestler especially a Sumo who uses brute force to defeat the opponents
**judoka = one who practices Judo
