Everyone has heard a quote at one time or another in their lives.  They could be anything from a good "one liner" in a movie, to something more sophisticated like Shakespear or Lao Tsu.  Crazy, funny, or inspirational, what is your favorite quote?

Some personal favorites...

"Piss on that noise" -  My Father (he's so articulate)

"Savvy?" -  Johnny Deep as Captain Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribien 

"I hate quotations, tell me what you know!" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Just a thought...

        "One runs the risk of weeping a little if one allows himself to be tamed". The fox to the little prince in the book called The Little Prince...

        And... "The sound of a kiss is not as loud of that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a great deal longer"

        Also... "Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. Then, if you dislike him, you'll be a mile away... AND have his shoes!"

              Overall, my fave is "Today's solutions are tomorrow's problems." Cynical, huh.

              Some others:

              Forensic anthropologist and author Kathy Reichs when asked whether being a female scientist who writes fiction presents any problems: "You're not supposed to be writing fiction. If you do it in the English department, you're a hero. If you do it in the science department, you're a little suspect."

              And Britain's John Amaechi, a 6-foot-9 gay former NBA star who now runs (among other things) a charitable foundation in the UK that encourages young children to become involved in sport and their communities: "I'm not just that big gay bloke. ... When I'm done and finished, I want hearts and minds to be changed."

              [ Here if you'd like to see more of his interview: http://www.guardian.co.uk...Column/0,,2113293,00.html ]

                loved the "Savvy" quote by Captain Sparrow

                one of my favorite quotes of recent times is "Now even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us -- the spin masters, the negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of "anything goes." Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America -- there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America -- there’s the United States of America.."

                by Barack Obama

                oh and i like the quote from Little Britain, "Computer Says No."

                  You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
                  Albert Camus

                  Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
                  Mark Twain

                  When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.
                  Mark Twain

                  The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.
                  Dante Alighieri

                  Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself.
                  Mark Twain

                  Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?
                  Douglas Adams

                  Usually the nonsense liberals spout is kind of cute, but in wartime their instinctive idiocy is life-threatening.
                  Anne Coulter

                  You know why there's a Second Amendment? In case the government fails to follow the first one.
                  Rush Limbaugh

                    I am incapable of having an all time favorite set of quotes, however here I have listed some of my favorites of 2007.


                    1. "Why don't you just shut up?"

                    — KING JUAN CARLOS, of Spain, to Hugo Chávez at a summit in Chile after the Venezuelan President called former Spanish Prime Minister José María Aznar a fascist (Nov. 10, 2007)

                    2. "I really am not the kind of guy that sits here and says, 'Oh gosh, I'm worried about my legacy.'"

                    — President GEORGE W. BUSH, when asked about his falling approval numbers and mounting criticism of the Iraq War during an interview with CBS' 60 Minutes (Jan. 14, 2007)

                    3. "The planet is in distress and all of the attention is on Paris Hilton. We have to ask ourselves what is going on here?"

                    — AL GORE, in an interview with the British paper The Sun, before adding that he believes in 10 years it will be too late to save the planet (June 18, 2007)

                    4. "I spent the better part of the past three months enduring criticism that is normally leveled at some kind of genocidal tyrant."

                    — RUPERT MURDOCH, News Corp. owner, on the outcry over his purchase of the Wall Street Journal (Aug. 8, 2007)


                    5. "I don't know who I am, but they're after me."

                    — KARL ROVE, White House advisor, who likened himself to Moby Dick, Beowulf and Grendel in being hounded by Democrats who believe he secretly controls President George W. Bush


                    6. "I take a bath every day."

                    — THE REV. AL SHARPTON, black activist who ran for President in 2004, on Joe Biden's calling fellow 2008 presidential hopeful Barack Obama "the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy." Biden later apologized.


                    And this one is my all time favorite …

                    Maximus Decimus Meridius [after swiftly dispatching another gladiator] Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?
                    Crowd: Spaniard, Spaniard, Spaniard...

                    From Little Britain;
                    Narator: Britain, Britain, Britain!... We've had running water for over ten years and we invented the cat!

                    [the Fat Fighters are discussing foods]
                    Marjorie Dawes: Dust. Anybody? No? High in fat, low in fat? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. It's actually very low in fat. You can have as much dust as you like.

                    Narrator: When people in Britain want to buy a pet, they go to a pet shop. If they want to buy a pet shop, they go to a pet shop shop. If they want to buy a pet shop shop, well, they're just being silly.

                    Narrator: Swimming pools in Britain have very strict rules - no bombing, no petting, no ducking and no fondue parties.

                    Narrator: British justice is the best in the world. Anyone who disagrees is either gay, a woman or a mental.

                      Kurtz: Did they say why, Willard, why they want to terminate my command?
                      Willard: I was sent on a classified mission, sir.
                      Kurtz: It's no longer classified, is it? Did they tell you?
                      Willard: They told me that you had gone totally insane, and that your methods were unsound.
                      Kurtz: Are my methods unsound?
                      Willard: I don't see any method at all, sir.
                      Kurtz: I expected someone like you. What did you expect? Are you an assassin?
                      Willard: I'm a soldier.
                      Kurtz: You're neither. You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill.
