*The Thread of Quotes*

[Wigan]

When studying I had to do a presentation. The lecturer (Bob Gold) told us to start with a quote. My first slide read:

"You need to put a quote on here" Bob Gold



Would love to say the story had a happy ending, that he was impressed and thought it was clever. But no. I lost marks for it.


"Quitting smoking is easy, I do it all the time" and " I can resist anything except temptation" both Oscar Wilde

"If porn was bad why does it have so many nuns in it?" Greg House (House M.D.)

Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups..... Some chap in Under Siege II

This too shall pass - love that one

Fuck it - From The Fuck It Way

Pretty much anything Alan Watts ever said...

Failure is not in falling down, but in refusing to get back up - Confuscious

And finally..... One of the greatest monologues ever:

Let me tell you something you already know, life ain?t all sunshine and rainbows, it?s a mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. Ain?t nothing going to hit as hard as life, but it ain?t about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward, that is how winning is done. And Rocky said it, so it must be good

Just lifted this from another forum because it is so good

"The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren?t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws" Ayn Rand

Bit long but following on from VTG's quote (It is one piece, I just inserted the line breaks for easier reading):

The Circle of Life:

"Man has a poor understanding of life.

He mistakes knowledge for wisdom.

He tries to unveil the Holy secrets of our Father, the Great Spirit.

He attempts to impose his laws and ways on Mother Earth.

Even though he, himself, is part of Nature, he chooses to disregard and ignore it for the sake of his own immediate gain.

But the laws of Nature are far stronger than those of mankind.

Man must be awake at last, and learn to understand how little time there remains before he will become the cause of his own downfall.

And he has so much to learn. To learn to see with the heart. He must learn to respect Mother Earth

She who has given Life to everything; to our Brothers and Sisters, the Animals and the Plants; to the Rivers, the Lakes, the Oceans and the Winds.

He must realize that this Planet does not belong to him, but that he has to care for and maintain the delicate balance of Nature for the sake of the well being of our children and of all future generations.

It is the duty of man to preserve the Earth and the creation of the Great Spirit.

Mankind being but a grain of sand in the Holy Circle which encloses all of Life."

Chief White Cloud


And this one encapsulates the philosophy behind it for me:

"Only after the last tree has been cut down, only after the last river has been poisoned, only after the last fish has been caught, only then will you find that money cannot be eaten."

Cree Indian Prophecy

[Scrattie]

“you can’t fool all the people all the time,” but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.” - Will Durant

[ValeTudoGuy]

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities 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 would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Ezekiel 25:17.... Or Pulp Fiction.... Whatever floats your boat.
