Whats your favorite quote?

"I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters." Frank Lloyd Wright.
 
here is a favorite :
Pastor Martin Niemöller who was against the Nazi regime was arrested by the Nazi's in 1941and in a concentration camp he wrote: “First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists, and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.”
 
"Joe! Make a deal Joe! That kraut in the tiger tank is probably a Republican!"
Don Rickles to Telly Savalas in 'Kelly's Heroes' :D
 
"The effervescence of youth and passion and the fresh gloss of the intellect and imagination endow them with a false sense of brilliancy which makes fools of themselves and other people."
Nathaniel Hawthorne's The House of the Seven Gables. 1851 A.D.

I need to research that a bit, I see. The only place I've ever heard of/seen that phrase used, was on the old power hitters. (cough cough). :smoke: :D For a favorite quote, "Hurry up & wait". I have no idea who first said it, but many have quoted it. :yes:

"Hurry up & wait": I lived with that motto for 30 years. Hurry up 'REAL FAST', as fast as you can...and - w a i t - a long time.

1. Yes
2. Thank You
3. I'm sorry
4. OK

"Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat!": Survivor Magazine.

Problem solving:
1. Clearly define the problem
2. Ask yourself: Is it my problem?
3. If it is your problem, who can you give it to?
4. If you can't give it to anyone, then you have to deal with it so you deal with it in the following way:
a. It has to be delt with immediately
b. It has to be delt with in the near future
c. It has to be delt with someday/sometime.
d. Or if you just don't deal with it at all the problem will just go away.


"Oh boy, I really did it to myself THIS TIME!"

Reality is the most persistent illusion I know ...

HONORABLE MENTION

- If you have nothing of importance to tell me, for God's sake begin at the end.

- I know what I am, but what are you??

- Live forever - or die trying.

- Yippee ki-yay, mutherfocker!

- Spoon!
 
"Progress doesn't come from early risers — progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things."

"Cheops' Law: Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within budget."

"Anyone who considers protocol unimportant has never dealt with a cat."

a few from Heinlein
 
G'day all, two of my own.

1. The best and the worst thing about life is its very uncertainty.

2. In the end, everything becomes a part of everything else.

Some of my favorites are from Mitch Hedberg.

"I used to do drugs. I still do drugs, but I used to, too."

"I haven't slept for ten days, because that would be too long."

"My lucky number is four billion. That doesn't come in real handy when you're gambling. "Come on four billion!... ****! Seven. Not even close. I need some more dice. Four billion divided by six... at least. "

"One time, this guy handed me a picture of him, he said,"Here's a picture of me when I was younger." Every picture is of you when you were younger. "Here's a picture of me when I'm older." "You son-of-a-bitch! How'd you pull that off? Lemme see that camera... what's it look like? "

"Imagine being killed by a bow and arrow. That would suck, an arrow killed you? They would never solve the crime. "Look at that dead guy. Let's go that way."

"I've got an oscillating fan at my house. The fan goes back and forth. It looks like the fan is saying "No". So I like to ask it questions that a fan would say "no" to. "Do you keep my hair in place? Do you keep my documents in order? Do you have 3 settings? Liar!" My fan ****ing lied to me. Now I will pull the pin up. Now you ain't sayin' ****."

"I saw this commercial on late night TV, it was for this thing you attach to a garden hose, it was like "You can water your hard-to-reach plants with this product." Who the **** would make their plants hard to reach? That seems so very mean. "I know you need water, but I'm gonna make you hard to reach! I will throw water at you. Hopefully they will invent a product before you shrivel and die! Think like a cactus!" So it said, "You can have this product for four easy payments of 19.95." I would like to have a product that was available for three easy payments, and one ****in' complicated payment! We ain't gonna tell you which payment it is, but one of these payments is gonna be a bitch. The mailman will get shot to death, the envelope will not seal, and the stamp will be in the wrong denomination; good luck, ****er! The last payment must be made in wampum!"

Actually it was David Glasgow Farragut in Battle of Mobile Bay during the Civil War in 1864.


Who said "Damn the torpedoes!" said Farragut, "Four bells. Captain Drayton, go ahead! Jouett, full speed!"

Over the years it has been paraphrased to "Damn the Torpedos full speed ahead"
