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.
"If a truck doesn't have a 8ft bed then its not a truck is a SUV with a open rear end or a compact."
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."
"I recon so."
"Where ever you go, there you are."

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways totally worn out shouting "Holy Crap, What a Ride"
Yeah its my signature but it means alot.

There are two kinds of people in the world, those who believe there are two kinds of people in the world and those who don't. - (Robert Benchley (attrib.) )
There are two type of people in the world, those that leave, and those that get left, and it is pretty obvious which one I am. (Billy Bob Thornton's character in the movie "Bandits".)
There are ten types of people in the world, those that understand binary, and those that don't. (Unknown)
“There are two types of people - those who come into a room and say, "Well, here I am!" and those who come in and say, "Ah, there you are."” (Frederick L. Collins)
There are two types of people in this world: good and bad. The good sleep better, but the bad seem to enjoy the waking hours much more. (Woody Allen)
