I had to look this up, but it was Benjamin Franklin who said,
"In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."
Everyone loves a colorful turn of phrase, however, it could be said that a number of homeless people have found their way around the second one; although I'd take taxes over sleeping in the street. And you can believe Walt Disney is frozen somewhere, but he's still dead.
What brought this to my mind was a thought that there were at least two other fairly certain things you can count on...that people will ignore walk signals if they can get away with it, and women will willingly mangle their feet in the name of fashion, and yet no famous people have created a pithy saying about those two.
