"Quote of the day"

Sometimes the Google quote-of-the-day is just excellent.
Like this Henry Ford one:
"If you think you can, or if you think you can't, either way, you're right."
I love that one. Very thought provoking.

Then today there was this one, again very deep and thought provoking:

"Sometimes I think we're alone. Sometimes I think we're not. In either case, the thought is staggering."
-R. Buckminster Fuller

What a beauty.

Got any deep ones? Ones that make the smoke come out of your ears? :dreaming:

"Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try." - Yoda

What can I say, he's a wise green shriveled alien fictional character.

One of my fav quotes:

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy shit, what a ride!"

-- Mavis Leyrer

To live for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.
--Robert M. Pirsig

My favourite is in my signature. I'm also getting it tattooed in arabic soon.
"You do not have a soul, you are a soul. You have a body. -- C.S. Lewis

"Never violate a woman, nor harm a child.
Do not lie , cheat or steal. These are things for lesser men.
Protect the weak against the evil strong.
And never allow thoughts of gain lead you into the pursuit of evil." - Druss the Legend

actually, It was from David Gemmell, and he got it from his Mom (so I hear), and then he gave it to his Character, Druss.

"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.
He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country" - George S. Patton

Hello, new people and their loved ones! In the interest of saving time and avoiding a lot of boring chitchat later, I'm ExoByte; you can call me Exo. I'm one of few people greeting on this board.

The rays of sunshine who run this Forum are Seeker and Icedawk. They run the whole forum, so unfortunately they're usually much too busy to deal with you. I am a bored... certified member with a double specialty of greeting and picking off newbies. I am also the only member currently on this board who is forced to be here against his will(Not really, but just go with it). But not to worry, because for most of you, this job could be done by a monkey with a bottle of Blue Light. Speaking of which, this is my posting colour. It's mine! You can't have it! If you're particularly annoying, you may see me reach for this :sniper: : this is a sniper. It's also mine! You can't have it either! And no, I do not have a people problem, I am just a bored blue-posting user. But who knows? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm drugged and too stoned to tell. So... who wants me? (Aye1)

And who would rather wait for one of the other guys?(Aye2)

teh best quote eva

Hehe, I remember that. :cool:

One ought every day at least,
to hear a little song,
read a good poem,
see a fine picture, and,
if it were possible,
to speak a few reasonable words.

--Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749-1832)

"We must all face the facts that our leaders are certifiably insane or worse." -William S. Burroughs

"Just look at us. Everything is backwards. Everything is upside-down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, goverments destroy freedom, the major media destroys information, and religion destroys spirituality." -Dr. Michael Elner

"The ancient Romans built their greatest masterpieces of architecture, for wild beasts to fight in." -François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)

"Human sickness is so severe that few can bare to look at it... but those who do will become well." -Vernon Howard
