The pen is mightier than the sword

Another way of saying that theres a lot of bullshit in history books to support the agendas of a group in power to make that group look more like a clear victor without any negative qualities, and make another group look like they met their downfall. In reality, questioning what the pen writes is enough to make you wonder if there are any winners at all with something like a war.
The pen is mightier than the sword is what the same people you need swords for in the first place tell you.

I think I might have left the blender turned on

1: The most hilarious line ever spoken in King of the Hill. Hank Hill said this in Episode 10 of Season 1. Why was it so great? Well first, can you picture Hank Hill using a blender? Second, a blender is not something you can just leave on, because it's only on when you hold down the button.

2: A bizarre excuse to step outside for a cigarette when you don't want people to know you smoke.
(FROM KING OF THE HILL)

*Hank and Peggy are in bed.*
HANK: Uh, I got to go do some stuff. I think I might have left the blender turned on.
*Hank gets out of bed, goes outside, and lights up a cigarette.*

sometimes it’s okay to be a bit selfish and there will be times over the next 12 months when you really must put your own interests first no matter what that might mean for other people. What you do for yourself will benefit them too later on
