Quote for the day thread.

[Darrin]

I thought we'd start a "quote of the day" thread here.

I'll get things started with Will in mind.....

"If at first you don't succeed, maybe skydiving's not for you."

[Dymetrie]

Well I'll add in my usual quote....

"It is necessary to resign from the human race....
....With a forged signature of course."

I find it covers most things :D

[Belmit]

My favourite:

"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.
Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."

[Will]

"The more I'm cynical, the more I'm right"

[Kell_ee001]

"Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway."

[Wryel]

"How 'bout a nice cup of shut the f*** up?"

[SidewinderINC]

"Life is like a cigarette, just one drag after another"

[Wellington]

Everybody has a right to be stupid, but some people abuse the privelage (Joseph Stalin)

Nothing against our fine American members, I just happened to come across a few rather amusing quotes as I was going through my shortlist. I could just as easily do it on almost any subject, these happened to be grouped nicely though. :)

"America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between". - Oscar Wilde
"Half of the American people have never read a newspaper. Half never voted for President. One hopes it is the same half". - Gore Vidal
"The Americans will always do the right thing... After they've exhausted all the alternatives". - Winston Churchill

Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards. Vernon Sanders Law.

[Treefrog]

It's not cynicism - it's experience.

[Feek]

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

Success and rest don't sleep together

Trying is the first step towards failure

One in Kate Bush is worth Ten in the hand ;)

[Roberta]

One in Kate Bush is worth Ten in the hand ;)

As my father always used to say!

As my father always used to say!

Where was you born & what's your mums name ?
I may be your Father :shocked: + ;D

My current MSN quote:
It doesn't matter what we do until we accept ourselves. Once we accept ourselves, it doesn't matter what we do.
(Its gets changed every few weeks depending when I have an hour spare to browse thru quote sites)

From my sig:
We're our own dragons as well as our own heroes, and we have to rescue ourselves from ourselves
(Thinking of changing this one too but again, will depend when I have some time)

Also from my sig, written by a friend:
For what is a life if untested by fire
That’s why I wear these scars with pride

[Tak]

I also love

All of us are in the gutter. But some of us are looking for the kerb ;)

;D I like :D

[Belmit]

One of my own, made up whilst working at IBM. Applies to most working situations:

"Compromise is meeting halfway with someone who's wrong."

[Kell_ee001]

"Compromise is meeting halfway with someone who's wrong."

Knew a guy who always said...

"Compromise is no-one getting what they actually want"

[Flibster]

Canada - It's like a loft apartment over a really good party.

I love deadlines. Especially the whooshing noise they make as they go flying by.

[Wossi]

Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

From Ferris Bueller's Day Off, bloody good quote though and is the reason I coast through life :D

Mic (Jhadur) has that in his sig :)

My favourite all time saying is

"Everything has to Change to stay the Same" :cool:

[Treefrog]

"Dum catapultae proscriptae erunt tum soli proscripti catapultas habebunt." - Seneca

("When catapults are outlawed, only outlaws will have catapults.")

Or handguns maybe?

After being slung in a cell in Norwich YP i sat on my bed & looked up on the wall to read

I was here You was not
Now you're here & I'm not
How do you feel
Gutted or What !!! ;D ;D ;D

[semi-pro waster]

I'm also quite fond of the following quote but it it probably too large for a signature so I'll never use it apart from now.

"Be fit for more than the thing you are now doing. Let everyone know that you have a reserve in yourself; that you have more power than you are now using. If you are not too large for the place you occupy, you are too small for it". - James A. Garfield

[BBx]

Today's quote is:

If you wish to know what a man is, place him in authority

BB x

[Treefrog]

We must be careful that the things we own don't end up owning us.

Never buy a dwarf with learning difficulties - Its not big and its not clever.

Edit: more of a top tip than a quote.

[Justsomebloke]

"How does so much pleasure come from One little cable"

said whilst clutching your Ethernet cable :)
