Noteworthy quotes:

We are all probably familiar with the quote: "The longest journey begins with the first step"

The antique truck and car community has a parallel:

"The longest restoration begins with the removal of the first bolt...

~ And the realisation that it is the rustiest son-of-a-bitch that has ever been seen before!"

(ME!)

Noteworthy quotes:

"The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom" William Blake

I heard this quote from Kris Kristofferson when I was 14 or 15 and I tried real hard to live it until I was about 26.

Then I realized the only way I could get a palace was to smarten up, quit wasting my money, and start saving up a down payment.

There's a lot of truth in it though.

chris, you had most of it. Here's the whole thing:

"Yes madam I am drunk, but you are ugly, and in the morning I shall be sober, BUT YOU WILL STILL BE UGLY"

It's one of my favorites, too. Do ya know who said it?........ Sir Winston Churchill (yep)

Noteworthy quotes:

Lincoln described liberty by a useful analogy: "The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty." Lincoln made it clear who the sheep was and who the wolf was. It is equally important to recognize who the liberator is.

I've been hearing those on wrangler commercials on the radio the last couple weeks. I thought the first one is great, the others aren't so funny to read but when you hear the guy on the radio it'll make you laugh.

Noteworthy quotes:

Oh gee, I've got hundreds of these things. Here's just a few.....

640 Kilobytes of computer memory ought to be enough for anybody. - Bill Gates, 1981

Lady Astor: "If you were my husband, I'd poison your tea."
Winston Churchill: "Madam, if I were your husband, I'd drink it!"


I have great faith in fools - my friends call it self-confidence. - Edgar Allen Poe


"The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." (Marcus Tullius Cicero, 55 B.C.)


All that is necessary for the forces of evil to take root in the world is for enough good men to do nothing. - Edmund Burke

In The Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

And then there's my personal favorite, (at least at the moment)

What happens if a big asteroid hits the Earth? Judging from realistic simulations involving a sledge hammer and a common laboratory frog, we can assume it will be pretty bad. - Dave Barry
