"Good Quotes"

I often hear good, humourous or phillosophical quotes that I wish to remember but forget after a few moments, however if we keep all our quotes in one place then we will have a resource of clever quotes to use in essays, drunken pub banter or wars of words with the clerk at Debenhams.

A few good quotes I have read/heard lately are...

"Life is a lesson, you learn it when you're though"

- Limp Bizkit

Yeah I know Fred Durst is a whiney blonde tart and not a phillosopher, but I like this quote. I am yet to use it in a formal context though

"If anyone cries at my funeral, I'll never speak to them again."
- STAN LAUREL

I think that's just plain brilliant.

"Sh*t happens"

It's just SO true.

I am sure the likes of the notables and you clever life forum people have much more intelectual quotes than I, but I would like very much to hear them.

It sounds like the tagline from a movie poster about unruly teens.

Well, here's a couple:

"War is for those who can laugh. If you can't laugh, smile. If you can't smile, smerk. If you can't smerk, go away and hide until you can." Winston Churchill.

And

"You have to work your ass off to be liked, but you don't have to do a damb thing to be hated!"
Not sure where i heard that.

Also

"Beer is the cause of, and solution to all the world problems."
Good old Homer J.

And

"Well, *cough* your dambed if you do, your dambed if you don't!"
Bart Simpson. Applies to a lot of Tony Blairs decisions i think.

And

"Well, i'm not racist, i'm just Anti-Pa*i(Pakistani)!"
An old friend of mine, called Stuart Chapman.

"I have really good hearing, it's like a sixth sense."
Another friend, called David Ryder.

Ah, and not forgeting

"My feelings, as usual, we will slaughter them all!"
Mohamid Al-Sahaf(couldn't spell it all), the Iraqi information minister.

These are just some of my favorite quotes. Perhaps i'll post more later.

"Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives."
A. Sachs

"Failure is not falling down, failure is not rising again" - old chinese proverb

"Fall down 7 times, get up 8" Chinese Proverb

My favourite quote of all time is one I can't quite remember but i'll try lol -

"The only thing needed for evil to triumph is for men of good virtue to do nothing"

"I haven't failed, I've found 10,000 ways that don't work." - Ben Franklin

"What luck for the rulers that men do not think." - Adolf Hitler
