Tim was so learned, that he could name a horse in nine Languages.
So ignorant, that he bought a cow to ride on.

~Ben Franklin

I know too many people like this. They'll know a certain word or place or whatever they are ignorantly proud of, but haven't a clue WTF is really going on. :1orglaugh

This one is the best

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you and may posterity forget that ye were once our countrymen."
-- Samuel Adams (1722-1893), American revolutionary

Actually any of the quotes from here are great for me!!:thumbsup

Put Up Or Shut Up.

AAhh some nice quotes


"It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything." -Tyler Durden

One isn't enough:


1. Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm, but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

2. If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two week's vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days.

3. The important thing is this: to be able, at any moment, to
sacrifice what we are for what we could become.

"It's not a lie if you believe it."
- George Costanza

Death is light as a feather... duty heavy as a mountain.

Go fuck yourself.

"It is not the critic who counts.

Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause.

Who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
