Life is like a Sandwich...

The other day, some friends and I were drinking a bit while discussing the deepest and most profound philosophies ever. Yeah, it was pretty f**king profound. And then somehow, in the middle of it all, we decided that everything in life needed a stronger inclusion of sandwiches.

I've posted below some of the inspirational sandwich quotes, sandwich themes, and appropriate sandwich paintings that I feel are of most sandwich prevalence.

Good sandwiches may come to those who wait. But only the sandwiches left by those who hustle.

Finish each sandwich and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new sandwich; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Be not afraid of sandwiches: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them".

“Once I saw a duck walking down the street so I went into Subway and ordered two pieces of bread, and they informed me that they could not do that, like there was some special rule at Subway that two pieces of bread weren't allowed to touch. So the woman asked me what I wanted on the sandwich and I said I do not care it is for a duck, and she was like oh then it's free. I was not aware that ducks eat for free at Subway. It's like give me a chicken fajita sub, but don't worry about ringing it up, it is for a duck.”
