Quotes of the Week

[blindfireak40]

I just realized today that we have a large number of members with neat quotes in their sigs, and I was thinking it might be fun to start a quote thread...maybe quotes on a given theme for a week? We'll start on the theme of WISDOM.

"Knowledge is knowing a Tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in the fruit salad."

[Damion930]

You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions. -Naguib Mahfouz

"It has been said that time heals all wounds. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue, and the pain lessens, but it is never gone." Rose Kennedy

[infernalis]

"I have so many quotes, I often quote myself" (me)

"those who forget the past are destined to repeat it" - I forgot because I learned that on in the past.

This week's theme: Mark Twain! Try to use only quotes by or about the great author.

"Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself."

[infernalis]

I feel the timing on this one to be very fitting....

"A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his shape."

[sephinflames]

"I have been here 15 years (sometimes it is 20 when she's really pissed) and I know it all, you can't tell me anything!"

[NennaMeerkat]

I got 3 I want to put down:

“It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.”

“Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.”

“A man's character may be learned from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation”

[Damion930]

I don't give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way.

Are these all Mark Twain Quotes?

Anyway, my Mark Twain Quote:

"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect."

[blindfireak40]

New Quote theme: Song lyrics!! Anything that you find clever, touching, or just plain cool, if it came from a song, it's good!

"She only stops that laughin' long enough to dry a tear,
I'm wishin' I was someplace else but I've found I'm always here"

--Reel Big Fish, "Till I hit the ground"

[infernalis]

"Doctor dyper, reformed sniper, he'll whip off your windscreen wiper"

"I repeat myself under stress, I repeat myself under stress, I repeat myself under stress"

[sassy_snake_lady]

"An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre"

Alanis Morissette- You Oughta Know :D

[infernalis]

OK people, before we start quoting snoop dog, M&M, Nine Inch Nails and Kanye West...

Keep the quotes at least reasonably clean.

I reserve the right to make any quote that is deemed too far over the top vanish without warning.

[Damion930]

Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own. ~Aristotle

[Damion930]

My bad missed the theme.

[infernalis]

"you yourself are just the same as what you see in me"

[Coffee Black]

"My pedestal was too tall to climb off,
In fact that's the reason for the high horse."

and

"Blessed are those who are dammed
When the levee broke
How many choked on the steps to a slow dance?"

both are by Sage Francis.

[blindfireak40]

LOVE Sage Francis!!

"If I had a dollar bill for every time i'd been wrong,
I'd be a self-made millionaire, and you'd still be gone"

--Drunk Again, Reel Big Fish

"There were times when I wanted to hurt you,
And there were times when I know that I did,
There were times when I wanted to kill you,
Oh, but can you blame me I was only a kid!"

--Enid, Barenaked Ladies (There you go, Canadians and Canadiennes :) )

highway man by willie nelson

i was a highway man
along the coach roads i did ride
with my sword and pistol by my side
many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
the b******s hung me in the spring of twenty five
but i am still alive

if any of you never heard the song, please listen to it, it says alot in a little amount of time :)

[TeaNinja]

here's a quote from my dad. whenever he used to wake me up in the mornings he'd say "wake up and pee! the world's on fire!!" lol

[sch1sm]

"If wisdom grew on trees, you sir would be a bush."
And a few from my dad
"If brains were dinamite you wouldnt have enough to blow your hat off"
and
"If brains were ink you wouldnt have enough to make a full stop"

There are tonnes of quotes and one liners out there and lots of them are in John Carpenter movies

so is the willie nelson song i mentioned probably, dont worry, just go for it ;):)

[infernalis]

The more I look at it

The more I like it.
I do think it's good.
The fact is..
No matter how closely I study it

No matter how I take it apart

No matter how I break it down

It remains consistant.
I wish you were here to see it.

Anyone know this one...

Coming out the woodwork, thru the open door
pushing from above and below
shadows with no substance, in the shape of men
round and down and sideways they go

The first group I ever moderated was a Genesis fan group,,, so uh yes I know that one. One of my favourite songs from that era.

The instrumental part "second HBTS" is so brilliant I think I need to hear it loud right now!

many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
the b******s hung me in the spring of twenty five
but i am still alive

if any of you never heard the song, please listen to it, it says alot in a little amount of time :)

"I fly a starship across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again.."
