There are certain canned lines that make easy endings to columns.

"Only time will tell."

That's an old fallback, a more stylish way of saying that nobody knows what will happen until it happens.

"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."

That's lifted from the end of George Orwell's "Animal Farm."

And my personal favorite ...

"You don't have to break the law when you make the law."
