Favorite Quotes

Do you have any favorite quotes? Famous or non-famous, it can something that a celebrity (or character) said, or idiom your grandma used to say.

My favorite are:
- "If you're going through hell, keep going" (Winston Churchill)
- "Criticism comes easier than craftsmanship" (Zeuxis)
- "Push the bitch out, push the bitch out...get that bitch up out the house!" (Saaphyri, Flavor of Love Girls Charm School)

I've had a few of them as my signature. I'll be back with some more later as I gotta run now.

I got so many over the years. Some from movies, others from real people. Criminal Minds has given me a lot even if I can't recall most off the top of my head.

Interestingly enough, one that I always carry around comes from Curly from the 3 Stooges in one of their shorts: "If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking until you do succeed."

I don't remember who said it but there's a quote that they sometimes put in the newspaper and it says something to the effect of mankind is capable of doing so much but instead they just sit and watch the television thinking they'll live forever.

"In the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty" Bob Marley
"Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet" Bob Marley
"The good times of today are the sad thoughts of tommorrow" Bob Marley
"Free speech carries with it some freedom to listen" Bob Marley
"You can't find the right roads when the streets are paved" Bob Marley
"Love the life you live, live the life you love" Bob Marley
"Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold" Bob Marley

And check the one in my signature.
