Whats are your favorite quotes?

[Maverick2272]

Here are some of mine:

"A little rebellion now and then is a good thing." Thomas Jefferson

From Douglas Adams:

"Humans are not proud of their ancestors, and rarely invite them round for dinner"

"I love deadlines. I love the whooshing sound as they fly by"

"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be"

"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the mistakes of others, are also remarkable for their disinclination to do so"

"You live and learn. At any rate you live"

"Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws"

As you can see, I like Douglas Adams, LOL. So what are yours?

[Keltin]

One of my favorites is by Mary Pickford, a silent film actress from the early 1900’s.

“If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down.”

--Mary Pickford

[Biskit]

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Unknown.

[Adillo303]

"life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance" - Babatoo's signature.

"Just because you CAN do a thing, it does not mean that you SHOULD do a thing." I really do not know who to credit for this one, but I find it very prophetic.

My old boss:
"Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining"

[buckytom]

i love to quote smart people. it makes you look like you know something. :bonk:

two that i've lived by :

from teddy roosevelt - far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

from the movie "josey wales" - it's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. there is iron in your words of death for all comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. no signed paper can hold the iron. it must come from men.

"If there are no dogs in Heaven,
then when I die I want to go
where they went."

People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both. -- Benjamin FranklinScientists discover the world that exists; Engineers create the world that never was -- Theodore Von Karman, Aerospace Engineer

2 of my favorites:

Power should be confined to men who are not in love with it"

Very good Jim.

"Just because your not paranoid it doesn't mean someones not out to get you"

[AllenOK]

Oh man, I've got a bunch.

Here's the ones I'm using verbally the most right now. Of course, my most popular is the one in my signature (look below).

"Angels and Ministers of Grace, Preserve us!" - Hamlet, Act II, Scene III (I think), also used in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

"Football Fields are for Band Practice" - old Funky Winkerbean comic strip that my old band director had framed and mounted.

Others that I don't use as much:

"Cowboy Logic: Half of your troubles come from wanting your own way. The other half comes from gettin' it." - Will Rogers (very wise man)

"BEER is proof that not only does God love us, but he wants us to be Happy" - Ben Franklin

And one that I absolutely love, but rarely ever use:
"There is a place for all of God's Creatures.






Between the Mashed Potatoes and Gravy." - billboard for the Saskatoon restaurant in Canada - I have the picture!

haha you really think so?

in 8th grade english, we had to come up with a quote that you would want to pass on to someone you loved. that was my quote. it is the truth. i tell my kids the same thing. no one can create the dream for you or make it happen - and if you really truely want something bad enough, you have to work hard and never give up.

[buckytom]

Never argue with a fool, a bystander can't tell you apart.

Not really a quote - but an epitaph

"While alive, he lived" (Malcomb Forbes)

[Biskit]

Another epitaph: "I told you I was sick"

[PanchoHambre]

Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty. Think big.
Daniel Burnham, Chicago architect. (1864-1912)

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

HAN SOLO, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope


I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
ALBERT EINSTEIN





War's one of those things, don't you think, where everyone always thinks they're in the right have you noticed that? Nobody ever says we're the bad guys, we're going to beat shit out of the good guys.

CARYL CHURCHILL, A Number


The whole principle [of censorship] is wrong. It's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't have steak.

ROBERT HEINLEIN, The Man Who Sold the Moon


Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever.

NADINE GORDIMER, speech, June 1990



The censorship method ... is that of handing the job over to some frail and erring mortal man, and making him omnipotent on the assumption that his official status will make him infallible and omniscient.

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW, speech, Jan. 20, 1935



Just a few more I like...
