Fun / Wise / Useful quotes needed

Post by Bjarne BZR »

I've set up my site to blurt out a Fun / Wise / Useful quote on first visit.
If you have some good ones that needs to be said: post them here.

My favorites that were stated by some of my clan members over the Ventrilo voice channel:
[FFisON] Alf wrote:The one that survives the longest, is the best.
(Think about that the next time you write "BOOOORING" or "ZZZZZZZZZZZZ" in the consol because you got killed first and have to wait for 4 minutes until next round)
[FFisON] ToTAL wrote:STAND STILL when I'm shooting at you!
(We have all had that kind of day, right?)

:D

Jakc Handy Quotes:

A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."

The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.

When you go in for a job interview, I think a good thing to ask is if they ever press charges.

Probably the earliest flyswatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick.

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

I bet it's hard to break farmers of the old superstitions like "Tornado got Old Yeller, stay in the cellar."

I think there should be something in science called the "reindeer effect." I don't know what it would be, but I think it'd be good to hear someone say, "Gentlemen, what we have here is a terrifying example of the reindeer effect."

It's great to see one of the greater people fail.

There are only two types of men on this beach [D-Day], those that are dead, and that will die. (My class got a big laugh out of that one, i dont know how).

Hehe, and a mj quote. We all can fly, we just don't know how to think the right thoughts to levitate ourselves off of the ground.

Good better best, never never rest, until your good is better, and your better is the best. - Great inspirational quote

In the confrontation of the stream and the rock, the stream will always win... not through strenght, but through persistence.

I never did anything worth diong by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accidents; they came by work. - Thomas Edison

What lies behind you, and what lies ahead, is of very little importance when it is compared to what lies within you.

When you delight in the game, the effort seems un-important.

If you can imagine it, you can create it. If you can dream it, you can become it.

A mona's life is always mroe forecful than his speech. - C. Spurgeon

Laughter is the catharsis for a tired and weary soul.

One learns by doing; For though you think you know it, you have no certainty until you try. - Sophactes (This goes to all mappers. You may know how to map, but you have no certainty until you try it.)

One sees great things from the valley, only small things from the peak. - G.K. Chestermen

There is something to be learned froma great man, even when he is slient.

The best thing about the future, is that is only comes one day at a time. - Abraham Lincoln
Is that enough? :wink:

That one is rather similar to one that my clan leader ToTAL screamed into the voice communication once:

"Stand STILL when I'm shooting at you!"

LOL
