Optimax X Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Move if this is not in the correct place please. Anyhow, what are your favorite quote that people have said. My favorite one- oh, there is nothing better than an argument between racing drivers is there? James Thompson on Antony Reid after a BTCC race- He should not be a racing driver- he should be the clown in a circus! What are yours? Quote

Starwars4J Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 "Nobody's perfect, even the Earth spins on a tilted axis" "If" by Rudyard Kipling "Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months." - Oscar Wilde. "We will fight them on the beaches, on the landing places, on the farms and in the cities. We will never surrender." - Winston Churchill "I have a bad feeling about this" - Every Star Wars movie "Only a Sith deals in absolutes" - Obi-wan "In necessariis unitas, in dubiis libertas, in omnibus caritas." (In essentials, unity; in nonessentials, liberty; and in all things, love) Even in the darkest of suffering, a man can sleep. But for the man who inflicts the suffering... his mind cannot rest, ever. "When all is said and done, more is said than done" ~ Aesop "Any excuse will serve a tyrant" ~ Aesop "Von Roy's Law: Honesty is the best policy - there's less competition." "Life is a struggle; technology creates more idiot-proof things, and the universe creates better idiots; so far the universe is winning" "We poison our air and water to weed out the weak! We set off fission bombs in our only biosphere! We nailed our god to a stick! Don't megablocks with the human race!" "In the beginning the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and is widely considered a bad move." "Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old." "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." - Albert Einstein "No man has ever fought so hard as one who fights for those he loves" - Richard Harrison Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted February 16, 2007 Eurobricks Emperor Posted February 16, 2007 Nice topic! Here are some of my favorite quotes. Can you guess from who they are??? Death is nothing; but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily. History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon. Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in. The best way to keep one's word is not to give it. Victory belongs to the most persevering. Quote

Optimax X Posted February 17, 2007 Author Posted February 17, 2007 "I'm going to retire from racing at the end of the year"- schumacher, not really my favorite, but it's what everyone had been waiting for. Quote
Brainbox Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 The one in my signature. I read it on the wall in History at school. I also like: "Watch the stars and from them learn." Einstein Quote
Norro Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 "Von Roy's Law: Honesty is the best policy - there's less competition." I like that one! There are far too many to mention out there but a few of my favs are: "Imagination is more important than knowledge" Einstein "The Bible is a rock from which all the hammers of criticism have never chipped a single fragment" Isaac Newton And pretty much everything Jesus said ;-) God Bless, Nathan Quote
JoeMI6 Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." - Samuel L. Jackson (Jules Winnfield), Pulp Fiction That's one of the only ones I can really think of now. But I'm sure there are loads more lurking in the recesses of my mind. Quote
simonwillems Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 My favourite quote comes from the former British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, he said it in the second world war after the RAF had secured the British airspace in the Battle of Britain, in doing so avoiding the Nazi invasion: Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. Quote
Capn Kirk 911 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 "Mama said knock you out!" - Will Smith in the fresh prince of belair Quote
Asuka Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of "Admin." The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid "dens of crime" that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern.C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963) Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.Buddha (563 - 483 B.C.) Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) And my favorite: One morning after a beautiful snowfall I sent a letter to a friend Quote
Norro Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Good to see a C.S. Lewis quote. He has many brilliantly insightful comments and is one of the finest thinkers Ireland ever produced. God Bless, Nathan Quote
casewindu Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 barts sleeping, the door creaks open, he looks up... homer : BART DO YOU WANT A BROWNY BEFORE YOU GO TO BED! (really loud really fast) Homers carrying a huge knife. Bart : AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Homer : come on il cut you one while there still warm! (homer acts normal while he cuts the browny) Bart : dad, im a bit edgy right now. I'd appreciate it if you didn't come in to my room at night screaming and brandishing a butchers knife! Homer : (looking at knife) what?, oooohhhhhhh the sideshow Bob thing i'm sorry boy ,good night (kisses Bart on head and goes out) Bart (lying back down when the door bursts open followed by Homer jumping up on to barts bed wearing a hocky mask and holding a chainsaw) Homer : BART DU WANT TO SEE MY NEW CHAINSAW AND HOCKY MASK!?! Bart : AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Homer : oooooooh sorry boy , what am a thinking? :-D probably one of the most funniest simpsons moments ever! :-D Quote
Optimax X Posted February 21, 2007 Author Posted February 21, 2007 Probably my favorite quote "If practise makes perfect, but nobody is perfect, why should i practise?" :-P Quote
gylman Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 "The harder you work, the luckier you get. " (Gary Player, but probably based on a Thomas Jefferson quote - "I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have".) Actually nearly anything by Thomas Jefferson, the wisest American of all time http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/..._jefferson.html "Work expands to fill the time available." (Parkinson's law) "Dattebayo" (Naruto) "Sasuke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (Naruto). Oh, and if you got the feeling from these that basically I work like a dog, and I watch Naruto in my free time.... you'd have 90% of my life these days. Quote
El Bucanero Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 "We gonna need a bigger boat" By the guy from Jaws. Quote
Capn Kirk 911 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Probably my favorite quote "If practise makes perfect, but nobody is perfect, why should i practise?" :-P I thought it was, 'If practice makes perfect, and we go to school to practice, but nobody is perfect, so why do we go to school?' That's my way of saying it I told my teacher that one when she said practice makes perfect! :-D (she got really mad!) Quote
Brainbox Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Not a sensible one: "Bruce Willis dies!" My friend referring to 'Armageddon', thus 'accidentally' spoiling it for another of my friends. Its now become a bit of a catchphrase. Quote

Kikuichimonji Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 "Mama said knock you out!" - Will Smith in the fresh prince of belair I'm pretty sure that's from a (really bad) song. Quote
Shine Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 What was the point of all that!? All it does is shoot you, it doesn't make breakfast at all! Truth is the safest lie. One death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic. I'm horrible at remembering who said something. Quote
Norro Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 One death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic.I'm horrible at remembering who said something. Stalin. He would know? God Bless, Nathan Quote
