We all have certain philosophies by which we live our lives, whether they be biblically based or just some unspoken creed we ourselves devise. What is life without these codes of honor, unspoken or loudly declared? Perhaps some of the wisest phrases that have been uttered have been spoken by none other than Ron Swanson. This mustachioed, belligerent government employee spent seven glorious seasons on television spewing truth from his steel trap of a mind, and I'm here to share with you just a few. Don't tell him this though, because he'd likely charge you for all of this free advice.
1. The Perfect Government:
Everyone always says that no form of government is perfect. Ron Swanson disagrees. He has a pretty foolproof plan all worked out.
2. Taxpayers' Woes:
Everyone has thought this at least once, no matter how big a supporter of government they seem to be. It takes a man like Ron Swanson to have the guts to declare it.
3. Social Interaction:
Basically every introvert ever. But then again, when the situation calls for it, conversation sometimes cannot be avoided.
4. Coworker Relationships:
Working is no fun. Working with other people, people you may not always get along with, can be even less fun. Ron's philosophy ensures that your coworkers know where you stand.
5. On Superstition:
We all know that luck doesn't truly exist. Ron just said what we all were thinking. Real winners work hard; luck has nothing to do with it.
6. On the Marvels of Breakfast Food:
Although this was already an undisputed truth, Ron succinctly epitomizes it in this moment. Come sunshine or rainy day, breakfast food can take the pain away.
7. Teaching Lessons:
I mean really all Ron is saying here is to take care of you and your house first and foremost. And he's right, fishing is not that hard.
8. Capitalism:
If you think about it enough, capitalism has greatly affected the way the world runs. America herself has much to owe to this system. If it works, it works!
9. Cats and Dogs:
I personally love cats and small dogs...but he's got a point. Practically speaking, they're not good for very much.
10. Hallmark and their Scams:
This. This is prime Ron Swanson. It may not be entirely untrue either...
Ron has been known for speaking very little, and when he does speak he speaks his mind with no qualms. Whether or not you personally agree with the philosophies of Ron Swanson, there is no arguing that his mustache carries with it a certain air of authority. So regardless of what his words may be, they always carry a high level of importance.
