What's your favorite Quote?
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." ~Theodore Roosevelt. 68 comments from 24 users

But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"

Governments, if they endure, always tend increasingly toward aristocratic forms. No government in history has been known to evade this pattern. And as the aristocracy develops, government tends more and more to act exclusively in the interests of the ruling class--whether that class be hereditary royalty, oligarchs of financial empires, or entrenched bureaucracy.

"Some of the things that live longest in my memory never really happened."Ashleigh Brilliant...yes that is really his name. He is the guy who came up with "I may not be totally perfect, but parts of me are excellent". He is also a really good cartoonist. Believe it or not, he is a friend of mine! Really sweet, really smart guy. I'll have to get out a few of his books and read them again. posted by

ghostriter, Ashleigh Brilliant has his own (recently updated) website! Just google him. I know he would be happy to hear from a friend, and the site is fun (you'll see). Random, I have hung on to some of my Ashleigh stuff from back in The Day...so my favorite quote of his is an old one!!

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasion, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.William Ellery Channing posted by
