Endeavor to become a man of value,
rather than success

Albert Einstein

"Everyone likes pancakes. Noone likes pantycakes". -Longhairbiker.

..it does not require a majority to prevail,
but rather an irate, tireless minority
keen to set brush fires in people's minds.."

another Granny fave of mine:

Do whatever you want to a cucumber or banana..but, don't EVER violate an ear of corn 'cause there's too many Colonels (kernals) in that Army for my likin'...it may just bite ya' in the arse!"

Nearly all men can stand adversity,
but if you want to test
a man's character,
give him power."

Mel gibson made a movie about the trials and tribulations of jesus called 'Passions of the christ'. Its so popular they are thinking about writing a book". -Jay leno.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly;
it is dearness only that gives everything its value.

I love the man that can smile in trouble,
that can gather strength from distress
and grow brave by reflection.

'Tis the business of little minds to shrink;
but he whose heart is firm,
and whose conscience approves his conduct,
will pursue his principles unto death.

Thomas Paine

This guy has a few very good books...

"There is no such thing as erectile disfunction. The correct medical term is fat ugly wife". - Longhairbiker.

Back on a serious note...

"You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger."

~ Rumi

*VERY powerful quote...IMHO*

"To see what is right
and not to do it
is cowardice."

Nothing is more common than for
great thieves to ride in triumph
when small ones are punished.
Seneca (B.C. 3-65 A.D.)

To know that we know
what we know,
and that we do not know
what we do not know,
That is true knowledge.

-- Confucious

"Just remember, the fish stinks from the head down."
~Grandma

"He who controls the past controls the future.
He who controls the present controls the past."
~ Orwell

If a fool be associated
with a wise man
even all his life,

he will perceive the truth
as little
as a spoon perceives
the taste of soup.
If an intelligent man be associated
with a wise man
for only one minute

he will soon
perceive the truth,
as the tongue perceives
the taste of soup.

The Dhammapada (c. B.C. 300)

"Pull my finger". -Uncle bill.

Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that? Ash Army of Darkness

An enterprise,
when fairly once begun,
should not be left
till all that ought
is won.
Shakespeare (1564-1616)

(one of my favs)

Idleness is emptiness;
the tree in which
the sap is stagnant,
remains fruitless.
Hosea Ballou (1771-1852)

Sometimes there is a difference between using more force and using more stupidity. And some people learned this early. Round peg, square hole, Bigger hammer". - Longhairbiker.

When you sit with a nice girl for two hours,
you think it's only a minute.

But when you sit on a hot stove for a minute,
you think it's two hours.


Now that's relativity.
Einstein (1879-1955)
