Quotes, Your favorite quote.

After floating around this site for awhile, looking at all the diversity amongst the members, reading the many posts, and the quotes attached to the various members, it struck me that with all of the intelligence available hear, that evryone should have a favorite quote or two. Anyone mind sharing? Here's one:

"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored." - Aldous Huxley

I make my students write down a quote from the board each day upon entering class so I have 3 to 4 years worth of quotes. Hey!!! That's something I collect..........oh wrong thread..............

I'll look for a couple of really great ones but until then:

"If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you." D. Reader

A pine wood is just as real as a pigsty - and a darn sight pleasanter to be in. - L.M. Montgomery

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell, no!" -John Belushi, National Lampoon's Animal House

oooh many many... I will put them all up on my website one it's finished... but my favourite is actually a short poem by Emily Dickinson:

Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me.
The Carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality

You said a quote or two......


"Oh, God! to hear the insect on the leaf pronouncing on the too much life among his hungry brothers in the dust!"
Charles Dickens - A Christmas Carol

Man I don't think you have enough room in this thread for all the quotes everyone likes and uses.

My Favorite is

"He who hesitates is lost" John Paul Jones, Father of the USNavy

Annabelle

I have alot of others but not enough room here

I would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy.
When the going gets tough, the weird turn pro.
There are only two levels, and one is above you.
If your brain was in the eye of a fly, it would rattle around like a BB in a box car.
I'm here from the Federal Government and here to help.
Death is camp.
Never in recorded history have so many owed so much to so few.
They killed Kenny. YOU BASTARDS!!!

"And in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."
(Abraham Lincoln)

"Experience is not what happens to a man. It's what a man does with what happens to him."
(Aldous Huxley)

I could still go on...

Mine should be easy, my Favorite was given to me by my Doctor several years ago.

"For every day you fish, you live another day."

This does not mean that I will live forever but for every day that I am out fishing, I am living that day.

Richard;

don't blame me poor daftie for asking but what does your new title mean?

gaberlunzie the ignorant

Gaberlunzie,

Are you referring to Fiery Brown?

If you are, that is the name of the Fly that is my Avatar at the Present Time.

Yeah, I had a slight idea...thank you for clearing it up and rescuing me out of my ignorance!!!
You see I have NO idea about fishing although I could identify your avatar as a fly after a few minutes .
I like watching people fishing but never tried it myself. My Mum hated (and still does!) fish.

Gaberlunzie,

You don't have to keep the fish if you do not want but one thing I can guarantee is that if you ever do decide to try it, and like it. You will be hooked for life.

Did I just do another bad pun?
