Okey, I wanted to write some quotes/phrases on my own. I was thinking of having it on my T-Shirt.

But I want to make sure that there are no grammar errors. Also, I know it's just simple phrases, but is there anywhere where the quotes lose it's flow or just sound wrong/bad?


I have a high respect for those in the government
That's why I avoid using the word 'idiot' as an insult

_.~*~._.~*~._.~*~._.~*~.

We find things that are hard to get more tempting to have
But when we finally got it, we just want another thing

_.~*~._.~*~._.~*~._.~*~.

A dying man who has lost his hope is already dead

_.~*~._.~*~._.~*~._.~*~.

I coin little phrases and stuff all the time. I just don't always say or reveal these things to other people... Kind of like a personal mental dictionary...

"Live like you're dying, die having lived"

Etc. etc. I could go on, but those are some of the more "recent" ones.

I have great respect for those in the government
That's why I avoid using the word 'idiot' as an insult

_.~*~._.~*~._.~*~._.~*~.

We find things that are hard to get more tempting to have -- Kind of wordy
But when we finally got it, we just want another thing --Also wordy, how about "we just want more"

_.~*~._.~*~._.~*~._.~*~.

A dying man who has lost his hope is already dead -- Could also be "A dying man with no hope"

_.~*~._.~*~._.~*~._.~*~.

I don't really understand the first quote, TBH.

I think the first one is the cleverest. It makes me laugh anyhow.

Basically it's saying he thinks the government is the definition of idiot, but he respects the government, so he doesn't use that word.

I don't think he was trying to be funny, I think he really believes there aren't idiots in the government.

He is indeed calling the government idiots. He respects them, so he doesn't use the word "idiot" as an insult. Calling someone retarded is an insult to the retarded.

The inner workings of my mind are an enigma.

First quote was actually inspired by these quotes.
They were simply awesome, and I just wanted to write my own.

Also, I believe you can say high respect too, I searched and could find sentences with that.

The second quote is wordy indeed. I don't know how to improve it but still keep the meaning.

I used this before:

The harder it is to get, the more you want it
When you finnaly got it, you want another thing
