I can't pick a favorite, but H.L. Mencken is credited with a lot of good ones.

Top 3:


"I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." - Voltaire (Ironiclly, although he is generally credited with this quote, there is no documented quote of him actually saying this, just idealizing it. )

"If you love your job you will not have to work a day in your life." -Bhudist Proverb

There are no inferior jobs in any organization. No matter what the assigned task, if it is done well and with dignity, it contributes to the function of everything around it and should be valued accordingly by all." - Charles W. Mayo, M.D.

A couple I like..

-I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure, which is: Try to please everybody- Herbert Bayard Swope

-All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.- T.E. Lawrence

Baseball is wrong, man with four ***** can not walk.- Confucious
