It occurs to me that many of our favorite quotes and proverbs are just not quite right for Paragon City. I've been working on this list for quite some time, so I hope you like some of these. I'm sure there's some wisdom in here somewhere...




Faultline was not rebuilt in a day.

A fool and his influence are soon parted.

All good teams must come to an end.

All roads lead to Steel Canyon.

Judge a book not by its cover, but by the Madness Mage who levitates it.

History is written by the developers.

Influence saved is influence earned.

Stateman giveth and Statesman taketh away.

Late to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and level 50.

All that glitters is not a badge marker.

It's no use to lock the SG storage after the enhancements are stolen.

Curiosity killed the Stalker.

XP is the best teacher.

Tankers rush in where angels fear to tread.

It's no use crying over XP debt.

Let sleeping Igneous lie.

The early bird catches the plesiosaur.

All power corrupts, but we need it to power our computers.

XP delayed is XP denied.

Any mission you can walk away from is a good one.

Speak not of my debt unless you mean to exemplar me.

Pwn me once, shame on you. Pwn me twice, shame on me.

Hope for the best, but prepare for the arch-villain.

Rather than trying to find the right Tank, try being the right Blaster.

Live today, for tomorrow it will all be nerfed.

All the treasure in the world is worthless, unless your base has salvage racks.

Badge missions neglected can never be recovered.

Some men cannot see the Council base for all the Council.

Prestige is the root of all evil.

He who buys enhancements he does not need steals from himself.

Don't think there are no Banished Pantheon just because the water is calm.

Tears will get you sympathy. Sweat will get you XP.

Better the AV you know than the AV you don't know.

Charity begins in Atlas Park.

Every Warwolf has its day.

Look before you Combat Jump.

One man's junk is another man's salvage.

Time and the Paladin build wait for no one.

A bad player always blames his mouse.

If you have never had a bad mission, how will you know when you are having a good mission?

There is never a right way to shoot the wrong mob.

No amount of darkness can hide a spark of Shiva radiation.

Against griefers, the devs themselves contend in vain.

A crumb from a winner's mission is better than a feast from a loser's mission.

A friend is one who knows who you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you become, and still invites you to teams.

After all is said and done, there's still the police scanner.

Great stuff! Thanks for collecting and/or thinking them up.

  BigChill on 01/23/08 09:14

Very true. Very, very true. But you forgot something with the police scanner: There is still that Rikti War Zone, and Borea allways has something for you to do.

Then still, there is allways Ouroboros.

Nothing quite like doing the same thing over, and over, and over agian.

Still, nicely done.

Hahah I love these, keep em coming!

QUOTE
A bad player always blames his mouse.

And his graphics card!

I would only change one to "Tanks rush in where Blasters fear to tread".

Also add "Never bite the hand that rezzes you"

and perhaps "You can attract more healers with XP than Debt"

  Elza Gallchobhar on 03/20/08 15:05

"There are some things influence can't buy, for everything else there's Wentworths."
"Arrows in the hands of a Blaster are pointless"
"Never bring a katana to a Council fight"
"Many hands make light work, or just two Superstrong ones"
"Out of sight, out of range"
"Two things in life are certain: Debt and taxes"
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with switching on superspeed"
"Panhandlers can't be choosers"
"Tanks will be tanks"
"Zombie puke is thicker than water"
"Forewarned is forearmed, and so is Lord Recluse"
"If God meant us to fly, he'd have... oh, he has"
"If Mohammed won't go to the mountain, get someone with tp"
"Speak softly and carry a Nemesis staff"
The way to a man's heart can be pointed out to you by a helpful Katana scrapper"
"9 out of 10 Ruin Mages say you can't get blood out of a stone"
"There's no smoke without Hellions"

  Elza Gallchobhar on 03/20/08 15:11

Just editing one:
"9 out of 10 Ruin Mages say you can't get blood out of an Igneous"

Also:
"Red sky at night, Hellions delight, Red sky in morning, Hellions delight."

  Techbot Red on 04/15/08 11:47

Fantastic, and kudos to Elza for the additions :P
And oh how true they all are! XD
