Well here's my attempt at a intellectual based thread to help balance out Flips "Why?" thread (Philosophical) and HappyJacks "Yum Yum" (Temporal).

So everyone post your favorite quotes and they can be from anywhere including ones you made up so long as they actually make sense.

Here's my first 6.

1."Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor; and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms."
~Robert A. Heinlein~

2."If everybody's thinking alike, somebody isn't thinking."
~General George S. Patton~

3.“Some people wonder all their lives if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem.”
~President Regan~

4.“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.”
~President Regan~

5."I have continued to work at different things, and rebuilt my home all by myself. I did it for the sake of satisfaction at doing something. I did it because I happened to be where I was."
~Mikhail Kalashnikov~

6."Overkill is better than being killed."
~Hybris~

So far I'm seeing some really good quotes, so here is another one from my late grandfather.

Needless to say my father and I agree with this statement.

 

My grandfather used to say "If ya can't say anything nice, don't say nothing at all".

"That'll be the day."

"Never apologize, it's a sign of weakness."
