Hip French Sayings

#1. Jiu Jitsu is a mousetrap. The trap does not chase the mouse. But when the mouse grabs the cheese, the trap plays its role.

Helio Gracie

#2. I was so self -conscious, every time football players went into a huddle, I thought they were talking about me.

Jackie Mason

#3. Cuttin' taxes for strippers and thugs.

Ja Rule

#4. The sound of the king's music made Despereaux's soul grow large and light inside of him.

Kate DiCamillo

#5. I believe the deeply rooted semantic confusion between 'man' as a male and 'man' as a species has been fed back into and vitiated a great deal of the speculation that goes on about the origins, development, and nature of the human race.

Elaine Morgan

#6. If Mere Christianity helps make Christianity comprehensible, Orthodoxy makes it weird again.

Leah Libresco

#7. It wasn't that they participated in criminal activity. It was that their activities could be construed as criminal.

Kristen Ashley

#8. I am not inclined to use hip-hop vernacular often, but there are times when, like French, it just better expresses the sentiment of the moment

Christopher Moore

#9. I love acting, but being an actor for hire only serves so much, and then you want to fill your well up again and be charged by something else.

Jennifer Aniston

#10. His system is a combination of ferocious blows, holds and throws, adapted from Japanese bayonet tactics, ju-jitsu, Chinese boxing, Sikh wrestling, French wrestling and Cornish collar-and-elbow wrestling, plus expert knowledge of hip-shooting, knife fighting and use of the Tommy gun and hand grenade.

Giles Milton

#11. I sent people to the penitentiary as fast as I could, never thinking about whether they deserved it.

Joe Jamail

#12. True love freely gives.
Love is costless, so give it.

Lailah Gifty Akita

#13. So I'm all, "Owned! Bee-yatch! Dog fucking owned you!" Doing a minor booty dance of ownage, perhaps, in retrospect, a bit prematurely. (I believe hip-hop to be the apprpriate language for taunting, at least until I learn French.)

Christopher Moore

#14. The pleasure I gave my lovers was a four fifth of the pleasure I experienced.

Giacomo Casanova

#15. The joy of the new, hip, happening, double-espresso Dublin is that you can blame any strange mood on coffee deprivation. This never worked in the era of tea, at least not at the same level of street cred.

Tana French

#16. It's wonderful to be able to have such wildly different projects in your body of work. They don't feel different to me as I'm working on them. It feels like they all share this element of subversiveness and finding the joy in subversiveness.

Robert Lopez

#17. Steady faith is stronger than destiny. Destiny is the result of causes, mostly accidental, and is therefore loosely woven. Confidence and good hope will overcome it easily.

Nisargadatta Maharaj

#18. Some of the longest home runs I've hit, I didn't actually realize they were going that far. Everyone says, 'What does it feel like to hit the ball that far?' Actually, there's no feeling at all. I know when the ball meets the bat whether or not it's left the park. It's a nice easy thing.

Mark McGwire

#19. I was all, "Oh, dog, Countess gonna crack open a forty of whup-ass on you now. Oh, you in the sh*t now, wigga!" (I am not incline to use hip-hop vernacular often, but there are times when, like French, it just better expresses the sentiment of the moment.) -Abby
