All from Wall Street

Gordon Gekko: Money never sleeps Bud

Gordon Gekko: You're walking around blind without a cane, pal. A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place.

Gordon Gekko: It's not a question of enough, pal. It's a zero sum game, somebody wins, somebody loses. Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred from one perception to another.

Gordon Gekko: What's worth doing is worth doing for money.

Gordon Gekko: The point is ladies and gentlemen that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of it's forms - greed for life, for money, knowledge - has marked the upward surge of mankind and greed - you mark my words - will not only save Teldar Paper but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you

Gordon Gekko: You see that building? I bought that building ten years ago. My first real estate deal. Sold it two years later, made an $800,000 profit. It was better than sex. At the time I thought that was all the money in the world. Now it's a day's pay

:thumbsup

"stfu newbie" :)

That's more of a proverb than a quote.

I don't really like quotes. Sure, a lot of them are snappy and make sense, but too often one tends to do more preaching than practicing.

the line must be drawn here!

no further!
and i will make the pay for what they have done!!

" Hello McFly"

Ahh, Wall Street. Definitely my favorite movie; but you missed the best quote: "I'm talking liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, one hundred million dollars. A player." -Gordon Gecko

See MaskedMan's sig for my personal favorite quote :thumbsup

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to talk, mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles explo
Jack Kerouac

I remember Lensman posting about 2 years ago, "If not now, when?"

"The difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad."
--Salvador Dali

"Ice? Who cares! This thing is unsinkable!" - Captain of the Titanic.

"If knowledge is power and power corrupts, then school is the root of all evil."

"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them 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, and 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 cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

-- Teddy Roosevelt

I believe it is, "If it is not broken, don't fix it."

"I don't really like quotes. Sure, a lot of them are snappy and make sense, but too often one tends to do more preaching than practicing."

"If the human body's obscene, complain to the manufacturer, not me."
-- Larry Flynt

"Lick my balls, Jenna"

"That's the way it is with a wiseguy partner. He gets his money no matter what. You got no business? Fuck you, pay me. You had a fire? Fuck you, pay me. The place got hit by lightning and World War Three started in the lounge? Fuck you, pay me."

random lyric from a Lunachicks song I was listening to when I clicked this thread

:thumbsup I love that movie

I heard that off Scarface, one of my fave movies.

Here's another I spread around:

"He who knows how will always work for he knows why."

"Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else."

Thomas Peters (author of "In Search of Excellence")
