Quotable Quots!!!

[Kara]

I just thought this might be fun! What is everyone's fav quots?? I know some of us have them under our avatars but......So here are two of mine:
Procrastination is the art of keeping up with tommorrow!
And
If you fill your hours with the regrets of yesterday and
the worries of tommorrow,
there is no time for the happiness and joy of today!


:D

[RachelS.]

Mine is right in my signature... "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love, and be loved in return". It's in the Moulin Rouge movie and is said by the character Christian :)

Oh I just had to add this one... I love it!! "I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't stick my head that far up my @$$" lmao. That one is so awesome. I probably have more, but ah well. those 2 are my favs.

[Zoe]

Mine is "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean no one is after you"

[Oliverian]

I like.. 'One man's trash is another man's treasure.' Its very true. :)
Also.. 'When one door closes, another opens, but we often look so long and regretfully at the closed door that we don't see the one which has opened for us.' ~TR~

[Batdad]

There are a lot of good ones out there. I like the one from my paternal grandfather, "You don't know how much you have got to know in order to know how little you know" and my maternal grnadmother's was "Take the time to stop and smell the Roses."

[Lizzy001]

1) Why waSte Time, when yOu caN spEnd time wasteD!

2) I say no to drugs but they just wont listen!

3) whats pink and fluffy? pink fluff

4) If u notice this notice you will notice that this notice is not worth noticing!

[TheRedDragon]

I'd have to say that my signature is my favourite because that one can be expanded upon so easily and diversely. I have a few other whacky quotes that I use such as:

"I do what the voices in my head tell me to do"

and

"I'm the one your parents warn you about"

[Lizzy001]

i also like.

children in the backseat cause accidents, accidents in the backseat cause children!

[Lisa]

Here is my all time favourite quote.

"A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven." - Prime Minister Jean Chrétien.

I think he writes his own speaches...

[Mr.Lizard]

Success: getting up one more time than you've fallen down

[Bartman]

invictus deffinetly has the funniest quote EVER. I think it goes "eagles may sore but weasels dont get sucked into jet engines" :D:D thats deffinetly the best!

[hip]

Here are some quotes I have remembered some are funny some are somber but for sure they are all memorable




Sir Winston Churchill


“Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.”


“So they [the Government] go on in strange paradox, decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent.”



Abraham Lincoln




“It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.”

“Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived.”



Homer

“The wine urges me on, the bewitching wine, which sets even a wise man to singing and to laughing gently and rouses him up to dance and brings forth words which were better unspoken.”





Hip

[Mike177]

I like:

"You dont need to be smart if you can quote someone who is" -I dont know

"I'm not a slave to a god that dosent exest! and I'm not a slave to a world that dosent give a ****" -Mariylin Manson

[lordkovacs]

Some people see things as they are, and ask WHY? I dream of things that never were and ask WHY NOT? ~Robert Kennedy

[Pia]

- I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person :-)

Hope you don't mind me throwing this one in since it is a verse rather than a quote:

But if you tame me
Then we shall meet each other
To me, you will be unique in all the world
To you, I will be unique in all the world
You will become responsible forever
For what you have tamed

Antoine De Saint-Exupery

[Invictus]

Mine is in my sig, but another favorite is:

I'm one of those bad things that happens to good people. :devil:

and:

Too much droking and sminking causes drain bamage.

[chomsky]

"Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment."
--Albert Einstein

[snakelover111]

i dunno wuts my favorite quote.:confused:

[jaybox_reptiles]

people come and people dye so F*** this world and lets get high

[Lisa]

oh, i can't forget "Weebles wobble but don't fall down".

[Batdad]

I heard one the other day at work that I liked:

Indecision is the key to flexibility!:)

Try and get someone in authority to make a decision and then remember this.:D

[lilyskip]

my quote for this week is from an Incubus song:
"Those left standing will make millions writing books on the way it should have been."

[drewlowe]

I like the one in my signature. I have that quote in my car.

[OttawaChris]

"Childhood is over the moment you know you are going to die one day" -The bad guy from the movie The Crow

"A man's temper is what gets him into trouble, his pride is what keeps him there" -Unknown

"Alcohol- The cause of most of life's problems and also the solution" - Homer Simpson

"He's an ***, and he's dumb.... he's a... dumbass" -Red from That 70's Show

"I have seen the top of the mountain... and it is good" - Butthead from Beavis and Butthead

[Invictus]

Oh yeah, speaking of The Crow (My fave movie of all time) there is a super-cool quote from the original graphic novel:

"I used to think I died and went to hell. This isn't hell, but you can see it from here."

From the movie, for some reason my favorite line (it just gives me goosebumps, especially when you think about the symbolism of the movie):

"It's funny... little things used to mean so much to Shelly. I used to think they were sort of trivial. Believe me... NOTHING is trivial."

Gawd, I love that movie / graphic novel. :)

[corr]

Kara's quote reminded me of this one...

"So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today."

Lisa's is hillarious. I love that one! The radio was playing it over and over the day he said it.

[Linds]

"It only takes one drink to get me loaded. The trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or the fourteenth."
<center>-George Burns</center>

"Review every thing you've been taught. Discard any thing that's an insult to your soul. And begin again."
<center>-Walt Whitman</center>

I have a bunch more, but I have been awake for all of 5 minutes... those are my favourites though.

[The_Omen]

Hmmm...
Many come to mind, but the one I think the most is -

If brains were dynamite, (insert name here) wouldn't have enough to blow his/her nose.

[lordkovacs]

Linds...I like that whitman one. what poem is it from? I can't seem to remember that one?
Cheers,
MIKE

[Ed_r]

I'm not as think as you drunk I am.

I'm drunk and your ugly, but I'll be sober in the morning

Beer... Helping ugly people have sex since 1890

[Invictus]

Ed, you reminded me of my favorite quote... more of an entire poem:

THE DRUNKARD'S ANTHEM

Starkle Starkle little twink
What the heck you am I think
I'm not under the Alcafluence of Incohol
Like Some thinkle peep I am
I only had tee martoonis
And the drunker I sit here the longer I get
Oh I fool so feelish
Take me drunk now, I think I'm home.

:D

[josefg]

My favorite quote was said by Gandalf the Wizard in the Mines of Moria (from the Lord of the Rings, by J. R. R. Tolkien):

"Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give that to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends"

[stretch]

My favorite is the quote I have. "By any means necessary" by Malcolm X. Here is another one though " I'd rather die like a soldier than live like a coward.

[OttawaChris]

One I almost forgot that came recently...

The late Bob Hope was asked where he wanted to be buried... he smirked and replied "surprise me"

I thought that was one of the best things I have ever heard!!

[Siretsap]

you are what you eat
:-p

[Wrath]

This one isn't so interesting, but I try to remember it while at work:

"Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape"

Just let it go....o>

[Bryce Masuk]

Im not going to even start......
But ill throw out one :)
"we only recive what we demand and if want hell..... then hells what will have"

[Mr.Lizard]

"I used to think I died and went to hell. This isn't hell, but you can see it from here." ---The Crow

I like that one Invictus,one of my favorites is from a movie too.

"I'm an insect who dreamt he was a man,and loved it. But now the dream is over and the insect is awake."

It's from the Fly. And I love the creepy insight he is aware of as his mind and body take on the form of something in between the two creatures.


BTW,can anyone tell me how to quote and have it appear in the white box rather than editing the rest of the post out?

[brig]

OK, ok, Invictus's quote about weasels and jet engines reminded me of a whole series of quotes from a TV programme called 'The Office' - it's English, so I don't know if it's been screened in Canada and US, but I think the quotes are funny anyway:

My favorites are: 1, 16, 19, and today, particuarly, number 8!


1. Eagles may soar high, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

2. Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.

3. There may be no 'I' in team, but there's a 'ME' if you look hard enough.

4. Process and Procedure are the last hiding place of people without the wit and wisdom to do their job properly.

5. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

6. Never do today that which will become someone else's responsibility tomorrow.

7. Show me a good loser and I'll show you a LOSER!

8. Put the key of despair into the lock of apathy. Turn the knob of mediocrity slowly and open the gates of despondency - welcome to a day in the average office.

9. What does a squirrel do in the summer? It buries nuts. Why? Cos then in winter time he's got something to eat and he won't die. So, collecting nuts in the summer is worthwhile work. Every task you do at work think, would a squirrel do that? Think squirrels. Think nuts.

10. When confronted by a difficult problem, you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"

11. Accept that some days you are the pigeon, and some days you are the statue.

12. If your boss is getting you down, look at him through the prongs of a fork and imagine him in jail.

13. If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

14. You don't have to be mad to work here! In fact we ask you to complete a medical questionnaire to ensure that you are not.

15. If you treat the people around you with love and respect, they will never guess that you're trying to get them sacked.

16. If at first you don't succeed, remove all evidence you ever tried.

17. You have to be 100% behind someone, before you can stab them in the back.

18. If work was so good, the rich would have kept more of it for themselves.

19. Those of you who think you know everything are annoying to those of us who do.

20. There's no 'I' in 'team'. But then there's no 'I' in 'useless smug colleague', either. And there's four in 'platitude-quoting idiot'. Go figure.

21. Know your limitations and be content with them. Too much ambition results in promotion to a job you can't do.

22. Make good use of your cylindrical filing unit, the one you mainly keep under your desk.

23. Quitters never win, winners never quit. But those who never win and never quit are idiots.

24. If you're gonna be late, then be late and not just 2 minutes - make it an hour and enjoy your breakfast.

25. Remember the 3 golden rules: 1. It was like that when I got here. 2. I didn't do it. 3. (To your Boss) I like your style.

26. Set out to leave the first vapour trail in the blue-sky scenario.

27. Statistics are like a lamp-post to a drunken man - more for leaning on than illumination.

28. A problem shared is a problem halved, so is your problem really yours or just half of someone else’s?

29. Is your work done? Are all pigs fed, watered and ready to fly?....

30. You don't have to be mad to work here, but you do have to be on time, well presented, a team player, customer service focused and sober!!

31. I thought I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it was just some b*stard with a torch, bringing me more work.

32. Avoid employing unlucky people - throw half of the pile of CVs in the bin without reading them.

[Linds]

I don't think it was from a poem, I'm actually not sure where its from :p
