Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea. Winston Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.
Bessie Braddock: "Winston, you are drunk, and what's more you are disgustingly drunk." Winston Churchill: "Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what's more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly."

Quote:
Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything. Muhammad Ali
I believe in the religion of Islam. I believe in Allah and peace. Muhammad Ali ... Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even. Muhammad Ali

ôPeople should not fear their government. The government should fear its people.ö V for Vendetta
ôOur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.ö
How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.
Arctic Dreams
I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have ,life itself. Walter Anderson

"A wise man speaks because he has something to say. An idiot speaks because he must say SOMETHING." -- Plato
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -- John Stuart Mill
"You cannot look dignified while having fun." -- Wes Janson from the Star Wars: X-wing series __________________________

"First contact happened centuries ago. They recognized our brutal conquering nature and have left behind spies and saboteurs to make sure we never reach FTL technology. They fear our potential. This is why we reached the moon 66 years after first flight at Kitty Hawk, and haven't done a damn thing since. The aliens got scared after 1969 and that is why the space program around the world has wilted and died." -Poster on EVE-O
"History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives."
"An optimist thinks that this is the best possible world. A pessimist fears that this is true."
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -Thomas Jefferson
"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be." -Douglas Adams "The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair." (Also) -Douglas Adams
"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so." (DoYouSeeAPatternHere?) -Douglas Adams

Here are my favorites:
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
"A little inaccuracy sometimes saves a ton of explanation." - H. H. Munro (1870-1916)
"It is dangerous to be sincere unless you are also stupid." - George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)
And here are some quotes that my friends and I throw around but do not know the source for:
"Just because I seem like an idiot doesn't mean I am one." -Unknown
"Hey, at least I'm not DANGEROUSLY incompetent." -Unknown _______________________
"Just because I look like an idiot doesn't mean I am one." ~Unknown |

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning. - Rick Cook
Sadly, this explains the bulk of the issues and code in most of my classes. The implementation is easy. Making sure even an idiot can do it is much less so.

"Hello?... Ah, yes Mr O'Reilly, well it's perfectly simple. When I asked you to build me a wall I was rather hoping that instead of just dumping the bricks in a pile you might have found time to cement them together... you know, one on top of another, in the traditional fashion." - Basil Fawlty
"If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through" - General Melchett.

Adolf H...youknowwho (German Chancellor, leader of the N...youknowwho party, 1889-1945)
Not because I'm a right wing numpty, but because I live in a country beset with them and it amuses and appalls me to see how this is still pretty much their whole plan... again.
Edit: This also seems to be the entire policy of the DWP in the UK as well... go figure. Well; I suppose they were the DHSS for so long that it's pretty much hard-wired in.

Hmm... I don't seem to have any good examples of deep, meaningful quotes to post here. Instead, I'll just post a couple of my favorites from various media.
"The Lord tells me he can get me out of this mess, but he's pretty sure you're ****ed." - the insane Irishman, Braveheart
"Game over, man! Game over!" and pretty much everything else said by Private Hudson from Aliens
Actually, come to think of it, pretty much everything else that was said in Aliens as well, such as "Let's take off and nuke the site from orbit; it's the only way to be sure."
Also, anything said by HK-47. -Wrayeth n00b Extraordinaire "Look, pa! I just contributed absolutely nothing to this thread!" |
