Goodbye and thank you for all the fish

A tribute to my lit professor, of which the following are my favorite quotes and Portuguese expressions he taught us. I apologize for botching the translations

"Time is the best teacher. The problem is it kills all the students. (Or possibly boredom kills all the students.)"

"The Portuguese excuse for everything is 'I'm working.'"
"I'm working so it's cool that I park my car in the middle of the road!"

"O dificil faz-se ja. O impossivel liva um pouco mais tempo."
The difficult is already done. The impossible takes a little longer. (I couldn't read my own handwriting on this one so I have no idea if it's right...sorry Abel)

"Brazil is a boy. Portugal is an old man."

"I'm tired. Why do we have to have class?"

"This is a very Portuguese saying. Better to rely on God-given talents than to be a hard worker."

"You can't teach a donkey new languages."

And my personal favorite..."Goodbye and thank you for all the fish"
