Hi There are several quotes actually that I like but I can't hink of them right now, if I remember them I will write them down as a follow up to this post. One that I like is from France and it says " A vaincre sans peril on triomphe sans gloire" which means "If you win without a danger you win without glory" which basically means if you are 6 foot 5 and pick a 4 foot 8 guy and beat him up to a pulp, you haven't proven much, only maybe that you are a coward.

Here's one of my favorite quotes. It's not serious or 'deep' or anything but when I heard this, I couldn't stop laughing.

"The Mavericks should do the Box and 1 Defense.
Put the box on Kobe, and the one on everyone else."
-Lakers vs. Mavericks, March 2, 2008

I think it was one of the commentators who said it during the game. I'm a Lakers/Kobe fan so when I heard this, I thought it was hilarious.

"That's A Nice Mount Me Hat Ur Wearing Officer..."

A professor was once asked of the difference between cleverness and intelligence. To answer his students he said: When man reached space, he realized he could not use a pen to write down on paper, because there was no force to push the ink through. Thusly, the Americans told their best engineers to work hard. They toiled for a while and created a special pen that could write on any surface, upside down, without needing gravity. The Russians used a pencil.

Life is not, in fact, like a box of chocolates. It is more like a box of Chuck Norris, roundhouse kicking you in the face. And if you receive a box of Chuck Norris, you ALWAYS know what you are going to get.

And teeming with souls shall it ever be.

In Nomeni Patri et Fili Spiritus Sancti

-McManus Family Prayer (Boondock Saints)

I love quotes! And I have many favorites:

"Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for." -Joseph Addison

"Have a variety of interests ... These interests relax the mind and lessen tension on the nervous system. People with many interests live, not only longest, but happiest." -George Matthew Allen

"The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak." -Hans Hofmann

"Eliminate physical clutter. More importantly, eliminate spiritual clutter." -D.H. Mondfleur

"Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated." -Confucius

"Frugality is one of the most beautiful and joyful words in the English language, and yet one that we are culturally cut off from understanding and enjoying. The consumption society has made us feel that happiness lies in having things, and has failed to teach us the happiness of not having things." -Elise Boulding

"To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life." -John Burroughs

"The trouble with simple living is that, though it can be joyful, rich, and creative, it isn't simple." -Doris Janzen Longacre

"The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life." -Robert Louis Stevenson

"If you can't stand solitude, maybe you bore others too." -Bob Gordon

"Material blessings, when they pay beyond the category of need, are weirdly fruitful of headache." -Philip Wylie

"Live simply that others might simply live." -Elizabeth Seaton

"Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials." -Lin Yutang

"To be nobody-but-yourself -- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." -e e cummings
