Bob Dylan:

"Money doesn't talk, it swears"

"People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent"

"Being noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot"

"He not busy being born is busy dying"

"If I wasn't Bob Dylan, I'd probably think that Bob Dylan has a lot of answers myself"

"It was like a flying saucer landed. That's what the sixties were like. Everybody heard about it, but only a few really saw it"

"Up on Housing Project Hill, it's either fortune or fame. You must pick one or the other, though neither of them are to be what they claim"

"Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them"

"They say that patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel clings.
Steal a little and they throw you in jail,
Steal a lot and they make you king."

"Sometimes Satan, comes as a man of peace."

Some of my favorite quotes from Lazarus Long:

Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Your enemy is never a villian in his own eyes. Keep this in mind; it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate--and quickly.

Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best, he is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear his shoes, bathe, and not make messes in the house.

I can't remember just who said this...

" A good committie consists of three people, two of whom are absent."

The way to determine the intelligence of a committe is to get the IQ of the dumbest person involved, and devide by the number of members.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Here's another Red Green:

Ancient proverb and a redneck's motto:

From someone on this forum (some time ago) quoted to them by their father, IIRC:
"Son, if you are going to be dumb, you better be tough!"

I just did the same thing a couple of days ago - except I didn't slice the entire tip off (pretty close though), and I didn't say "dang"...
