Quotes

My signature is my favorite quote.

"After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one." - Cato the Elder.

"There's only one kind of folks; folks." - Jem Finch (To Kill A Mockingbird)

I always use this quote to remind me that there's no difference in how people should be treated.

Also:
"This is my timey-wimey detector. It goes ding when there's stuff! It also boils an egg at 30 paces, whether you want it to or not. I learnt the hard way to stay away from chicken farms..." - The Doctor

"Learn to endure! Endurance will always help you!" Trapinch, Mystery Dungeon Blue/Red

"I wish I'd learn to draw a little better! What exertion and determination it takes to do it well...It is really just a question of carrying on doggedly, with continuous-and if possible-pitiless self-criticism."-M. C. Esher

"Unexpected money is a delight. The same sum is a bitterness when you expected more." -Mark Twain

"You can put a tuxedo on a goat, but it's still a goat." Two and a Half Men, doctor

"Ya gotta figure boinking Evelyn is like riding a bike over train tracks. You'll get where you're going, but you'll feel every bump." Berta, Two and a Half Men

xDD And that quote in my signature.

Okay, I'll stop now. :cer_tongue:

"Say your pwayers, wabbit!""Beep!, Beep!"
"Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!"

Winston Churchill was told that he was drunk and what's more, he was disgustingly drunk. His response?

The one in my signature plus:

I could post loads but I don't have access to my QI book right now...

Well this first one isn't a real life quote, just in a video game (Kingdom Hearts)

"One who knows nothing can understand nothing." -Ansem

This is my favorite real life quote:

"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." -Dr. Seuss

My personal Favorites

"You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you."
- Leon Trotsky (1879-1940)

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
- Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)

"Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them."
- Ronald Reagan

"The highest type of ruler is one of whose existence his people are barely aware." - Lao Tzu

"They speak English in What?" - Samuel L. Jackson

I love this quote from South Park:

(one of the characters asks Chef why God would allow their friend to die)

Chef: "Stan, sometimes God takes those closest to us, because it makes him feel better about himself. He is a very vengeful God, Stan. He's all ****ed off about something we did thousands of years ago. He just can't get over it, so he doesn't care who he takes. Children, puppies, it don't matter to him, so long as it makes us sad. Do you understand?

Look at it this way: if you want to make a baby cry, first you give it a lollipop. Then you take it away. If you never give it a lollipop to begin with, then you would have nothin' to cry about. That's like God, who gives us life and love and happiness just so that he can tear it all away and make us cry, so he can drink the sweet milk of our tears. You see, it's our tears, Stan, that give God his great power."

Ugh, South Park. I prefer unscripted stupidity. Infinitely funnier.

"The purpose of war is not to die for your country. The purpose of war is to ensure that the other guy dies for his country." -George Patton (note, that's putting the quote kindly.)

"Ah, these diplomats! What chatterboxes! There's only one way to shut them up- cut them down with machine guns. Bulganin, go and get me one!" -Joseph Stalin

"Any ship can be a minesweeper once." -Admiral Hornblower

" some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world, but the US Marines don't have that problem "

" Even the little things count, if you can't feed a 100 people feed 1.

"Don't hit kids. No seriously, they have guns now."

"I don't think my daughter should take a foriegn language to graduate. This is fricken America we speak fricken English!" -My dad
