But why?

What is it about these words that we keep using over and over?

We use them because they are what were used on us. We use them when our own words fail us.

Here, for the first time, will be a definative list of platitudes. If you ever need to quote a platitude... you now know where to come for the best ones.

(Feel free to offer up any comments or discussion about the platitudes you post)

: "Patience is a Virtue... Virtue is a Grace... Grace is a little girl, who wouldn't wash her face." Anonymous poem... but definitely a platitude if ever I heard one.

: "They get glad in the same pants they get mad in." Another one from my mom. :)

: "Dishes are the LEAST of my worries." You kinda had to grow up with my mom to get this one.

: "Anything worth doing is worth doing well." Who gets to chose what's worth doing? :)

: Curiosity killed the cat... I ask... how do you know... After all, it must have taken someone curious to find out why the cat was missing!
