- Follow your dot.
- The arrows don't lie.
- It's better to hit the pocket than to throw a rocket.
- Bowling with bumpers is a metaphor for having a safety net in life.
- The 7-10 split is also known as "Devil's Horns." Good versus evil extends to all aspects of reality.
- Bowling with your family is hit and miss.
- Bowling etiquette should be carried into other lanes of life.
- This is what happens when you throw a lot of strikes in a row: You forget how to throw a spare.
- Just because it looks good going down the alley doesn't mean it'll amount to much.
- Smooth and easy wins the game.
- Cosmic bowling may be confusing and disorienting, but the pins, the lanes, the balls, and the rules don't change.
- Everyone throws a strike once in a while. Enjoy the moment, but then get on with the game.
- Approach and follow-through are more important than velocity.
- Bowling a perfect game, making a 7-10 split, or executing a great trick shot is a matter of practice, persistence, and perseverance.
- Whether you prefer traditional bowling, duckpin bowling, or candlestick bowling, the objectives are the same: Stay out of the gutter, knock down as many pins as you can, and get the highest score possible.
