Whats your favorite quote?

[Bill Ferris]

Lot`s of great quotes here folks..
I have a few to share that I coined years ago ( at least, I never had heard before).

1 : "I`d rather be Somebody who thinks their Nobody, then Nobody who thinks their Somebody"..(this came to mind decades ago after interfacing with various level`s of ego, usually Rock-in Roll guitar players, both in repairing their amps, and as a FOH sound engineer for a few local rock bands.

2 : "Everybody is Shit, until proven otherwise".. ( a cautionary mind set that came to mind later on, in my 63 years of living, after many a new encounter/interface with various individuals !) I know, that could be perceived as a glass half full mind set, but it`s my cautionary defensive thought process that has served me well. But once they gain my trust, I can be hard to get rid of !!

3 : "A Species of Feces" (a undefined form of Shit for brains, that usually comes to mind and muttered during an encounter/observation whilst driving !!)

Oh 1 more--4 : "We have the best politician`s money can buy "(I hope that statement is ok with the moderators, if not please delete)

Carry on folks, OKB

A case could be made that Hunter Thompson clearly lived up to that
