Lots and lots of quotes, too many to name.

This one in Dutch:

"Men doet wat men kan en zodoende blijft er heel wat liggen."
(Ollie B.Bommel )
(impossible to translate, at least for me)

And more closely (I mean, with respect to this and other boards):

Many quotes that many of you all have in your sigs.
Too much again to name them all.

The one in the sig of Corrine:
Sassy Girl: "Surely as the sun rises in the morning, it sets at night."

The one in the sig of LWM:
"Behind every Blue Pixel is a Pink Pixel whose love makes him strive to be a better... err, Pixel."

The ones in the sigs from Gracie and Janie at DSLR.

The Susan thread

And ..... almost everything Blaze has posted on this board

 

OK, one from Blazey (hey buddy, I hope you don't mind ).

Not a single quote but a little story (I love this one ):

I have a few favorites quotes I would like to share:

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.
Aristotle

He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, while he who has one enemy shall meet him everywhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

Don't eat the yellow snow....~Frank Zappa~

 

"Lead me, follow me or get out of my way!"

A few heavies and a few favourites:

Books won’t stay banned. They won’t burn. Ideas won’t go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas. The source of better ideas is wisdom.

To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage: Confucius

"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." (Douglas Adams)

"I love deadlines. I love the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." (Douglas Adams)

"For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen." (Douglas Adams)

"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny ...'" (Isaac Asimov)

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke)[/COLOR]

"I taught them everything they know, but not everything I know." (James Brown)

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look long into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.

The measure of a person's knowledge is the actions they take. (Saint Francis of Assisi)

A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out. – Grace Pulpit

I expect to pass through the world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show to any creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer it, for I shall not pass this way again.

Even if it’s a little thing, do something for those who have need of a man’s help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it. For, remember, you don’t live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too. - Albert Schweitzer Nobel Peace Prize winner, 1952
