 This should have been one of mine!
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Well Dent, great minds think alike.
The other one I love and neglected to mention: "We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty."

Myrmecophaga Jubata - Ant-eater. The existence of this predator demonstrates that thinking 71 per cent of the time, as ants do, won't prevent you from being eaten. Thinking less than that, as humans do, will almost guarantee it. -John Ralston Saul - from The Doubter's Companion
Our wretched species is so made that those who walk on the well-trodden path always throw stones at those who are opening a new road. -Voltaire
The untold wantby life and land ne'er granted, / Now voyager sail forth to seek and find. - Walt Whitman
The Valley-Spirit never dies / It is called "the Profound Female." / The gate of the Profound Female / is called "the root of Heaven and Earth." / It continues, as if it barely existed. / It can be used, but never used up. - Lao Tzu

"Man is a freak, an ejected foetus robbed of his natural development, thrown out in the world with a naked covering of parchment, with too little room for his teeth and a soft bulging skull like a bubble. But nature stirs a pudding there��

"Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon."
"We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle."
"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile�hoping it will eat him last."
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy."
"From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I shall not put."
All said by Winston Churchill. All forgotten by America's current leadership. |

A couple movie quotes that popped into my mind:
"They turned me loose from a nervous hospital, said I was well, mmm hmm!" Billy Bob Thornton in Slingblade

"If you absolutely, positively, have to kill every mother f-er in the room,
Ak47, except no substitutes" Samuel L. Jackson in "Jackie Brown" |

Cock off with this! Greatest quote ever my arse!
Although we could potentially hijack this thread with funniest football manager quotes, one being
Sir Bobby Robson to begin with -
* We didn�t underestimate them but they were a lot better than we thought - after England sneaked through against Cameroon in the 1990 World Cup.
* The first 90 minutes are the most important.
* We�re flying on the Concorde. That�ll shorten the distance � that�s self-explanatory.
* I would have given my right arm to be a pianist.
* I�m not going to look beyond the semi-final - but I would love to lead Newcastle out at the final.
* I do want to play the short ball and I do want to play the long ball. I think long and short balls is what football is all about.
* He�s very fast and if he gets a yard ahead of himself nobody will catch him.
* If we start counting our chickens before they hatch, they won�t lay any eggs in the basket.
* There will be a game where somebody scores more than Brazil and that might be the game they lose.
* Steve Hodge has been unfit for two weeks, well, no, for 14 days.
* Look at those olive trees - they�re two hundred years old � from before the time of Christ! - Sir Bobby illustrates how great life is in Barcelona.
* Titus looks like Tyson when he strips off in the dressing-room, except he doesn�t bite and has a great tackle � on Titus Bramble at Newcastle.
* I played cricket for my local village. It was 40 overs per side, and the team that had the most runs won. It was that sort of football.
* He�s got his legs back, of course, or his leg - he�s always had one but now he�s got two.
* He never fails to hit the target - but that was a miss.
* Sir Bobby to Bryan Robson: Good morning, Bobby. Bryan: You�re Bobby, I�m Bryan!

If a man is young and he is not a communist, he has no heart.
If a man is old and he is a communist, he has no brains.

Men lie for a reason. Women lie to keep in practice.
