Amusing and Interesting quotes (Page 8) MJ59: Little Willie Shakespeare: “To be, or not to be; that is the question; Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer; The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles” Hamlet Act 3, Scene 1 “Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath bore me on his back a thousand times, and now how abhorr’d in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it..” Hamlet Act 5, Scene 1 MJ59: One of the funniest quotes today: "Angry and Hate will never suppress the truth for long I'm here to state the truth about how sad it is that so many in the sciences and the public accept the pseudoscience of Evolution as a fact " Blackshoes  Corwin: Here's a quote... a POWERFUL quote... it popped into my head in light of the many developments that have come about these past years. "Don't try to be a 'great' man, just be a man, and let history make the judgement." I was going to post it somewhere... but I couldn't remember who actually said it. So I looked it up... I was sure it was some "great man" who said it, and said it being humble as he said it, in the face of great adversity (what a great man)... but no... ... it's from a Star Trek movie.  Star Trek First Contact Cmdr. Will Riker: "Somebody once said [place quote here]" Inventor and engineer Zephram Cochrane: "What rhetorical nonsense! Who said that??" Cmdr. Will Riker: "You did. About ten years from now." There's a whole time-loop thing here going on, as to who said it first... and that can be argued here among "Trekkies" to no end. To me it's a good quote... I don't care where it came from.  KeithJ: in that case it means blackshoes was a weakling growing up and he must be in a body cast now MJ59: "As you get older, you don’t get wiser, you get irritable." —Doris Lessing (author) "Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough." —Groucho Marx (comedian)  LoisS: “When did it become appropriate to come out in a flip-flop and sandals for a steak dinner? I'm trying to enjoy a T-Bone and I gotta look at some guys hoof.... LoisS: “As soon I walk in, there's like 25 pairs of shoes right there in the door way. I'm walking around this guys house, with my socks on, talking to other people with their socks on. How could you have a conversation with another man, looking at their golden toe?” MJ59: “As I have gotten older and wiser I discovered that there are six things that I really loved about my job. Pay day, lunch time, quitting time, vacation time, holidays, and of course retirement.” — Tom Goins “I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.” — Jerome K. Jerome<-- I concur lol LoisS: The business of being told to earn a dollar, that no one is going to give you anything - that was kind of my mantra throughout my childhood, and now it's in my adult life. I find that people really tend to relate to the immigrant father, whether he be Italian, Greek, Spanish or whatever. LoisS: *Maybe it means: you're the evil man, and I'm the righteous man, and Mr. 9mm here, he's the Shepard protecting my righteous ass in the Valley of Darkness. Or, it could mean: you're the righteous man, and I'm the Shepard, and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that, but that shit ain't the truth. The truth is: you're the weak, and I am the tyranny of evil men. But, I'm tryin', Ringo, I'm trying real hard to be the Shepard... LoisS: The pen is mightier than the sword.....and considerably easier to write with. - Marty Feldman MJ59: "I haven't spoken to my wife in years. I didn't want to interrupt her." Rodney Dangerfield "I'm so ugly - My mother had morning sickness - After I was born" Rodney Dangerfield LoisS: When you meet somebody for the first time, you’re not meeting them. You’re meeting their representative. | Off Topic Chat Room Similar Conversations |
